If it stays dry I think Lewis will be hard to beat. The McLaren F-Duct
top speed should see him take the lead by the end of the first sector. |

This race is going to be very unpredictable. With the post-qualifying parc fermé drivers can't change anything to their car and it makes me wonder which driver have set-up his car for wet weather completely and which didn't. In case of rain, we might see driver getting in big trouble, as Bridgestone fears that the drivers will run out of intermediates! Hopefully the FIA won't decide to red flag the race then.

I reckon Hamilton will get Webber on the first lap, all hell may break loose at turn 1..Lets hope it's a changing weather race, that'll make things interesting. Hoping Kubica can snag a podium, thoroughly deserves one..

Why the Safety Car? C'mon, because of that bit of rain?

Why is their no outrage about Kubica driving Vettel of the road on the Kemmel straight (apart from the stewarts looking into it)?

Oh, and for those always doubting Vettel's passing qualities: He did a nice textbook pass on Kubica in La Source.
edit 10 mins later: And he screws it up again. Last edited by Kempi; 29 Aug 2010 at 12:36. |

Tbh, not doing anything for driving a driver off the road at 280+ (especially considering the discussions after Hungary) and dishing out a drivethrough for a simple mistake is somewhat strange...

My doubts about Vettel's racecraft have only been reinforced by that incident. Just why is he so poor at passing? Something to do with the behaviour of the RBR in the wake of other cars or just a personal failing?

In this situation I'd consider it a simple personal mistake. Tried to pull out of the draft too abruptly and unsettled the car doing so. Then there were some raindrops on the inboard which probably contributed to the problem.

If one looks at the erratic start he made at Silverstone and the other races he's failed to capitalise on when he's got pole, I would say a personal failing.
