How dare you?! Didn't you know that he is an average driver? ;)

I would say a wheel to wheel lover!!! I hope this race Massa can stay away from other cars! :D

If it rains I think Alonso, Vettel, Bourdais and Sutil can shine above the rest. About Kimi i have never regarded him as a very good driver in wet conditions, though he is not a bad driver at all!!!! I expect Massa to have a harder time in the wet and without TC... It can be a nightmare to manny drivers, even those that are supossed to be more skillfull.

I would love to see a wet race!!!!

Anyway we now got Vettel to impress in the rain.

Hmm... Remember Kimi smoked out of 3rd at the Nurburgring... so he may have got 22 - but that's just playing with statistics.

I'm still sitting on the fence about Vettel and his abilities. In the dry he wasn't faster than Liuzzi last year. His wet-weather skills are almost fabled, but I don't think they're really that brilliant. In Fuji he gambled on an extreme wet set-up on Saturday and the conditions remained on Sunday. He didn't spin during the race and set the 5th-fastest lap time, but spun Alonso and wiped out Webber and himself under SC.
In China he didn't spin out and had a very fortuitous pit strategy regarding the weather changes, setting the 13th fastest lap time.

He's quite a talent, but as I said, I have a hard time believing that he's quite as good as some people are saying, at this point in time.

As for the race:

There's still a 60% chance of rain for Saturday and Sunday.

We all know who's fault that was and how the rules were changed afterwards because of that.

Yes we do. It was Vettel's fault.

Wrong answer! It was Webber's fault! :p :

Well, it has been raining over here for the past few days...

No drivers aid + rain = ???

= mess

Should be fun to watch...
but like ioan said....often it ends up being totally dry on sundays when its predicted to be wet :s
