:lurk:

I am so ready!!! I am cheering for Ferrari's Raikkonen and Massa. I also like the rookie, Lewis Hamilton of McLaren Mercedes who has the pole position. :applaud:

I am just a bit worried about the weather conditions. It is raining and it's way too cloudy, and the tracks are wet. The only one I know who is good in this kind of weather is Barrichello.

If the rain gets worse, there will be more problems in visibility, so how is Raikkonen going to overtake and win?!!! :err1:

Masterful Hamilton reigns supreme in Fuji thriller!!!

It was not Alonzo's day neither Massa's! Räikkönen got a bit closer and still has chances! But mathematically, Hamilton is the closest to championship title!!!!

Wow! What an unbelievable race! :tongue1: :lurk:

In spite of the cloudy and rainy weather I must say that I enjoyed watching this race! From the strange start to the most exciting Massa overtaking Kubica at the very last lap!!! It just made me leap out of the bed! That is the excitement you get in racing! The mere fact you see drivers really taking risks and racing! Really cool, Massa!!! What a treat!

Okay, so let's get back to the first three. Hamilton was just driving brilliantly! You can see how much control he has over his car - smooth driving. I am really impressed although I would love to have seen Raikkonen in the first place. ^^

There's another issue up at the Ferrari. Raikkonen said that they had not been informed of something. I guess that is the reason why they had to do a pit stop two or three laps after the race started. I thought it was really stupid of them not to have thought of using XWET tires for this kind of weather. What do you think? :emoticon-4:

Kovaleinen did quite surprisingly well. I mean he was able to keep his 2nd position and Raikkonen at third.

I was a little excited (apart from the fact that he is cute and hip! ^^) and sad over Vettel. He had the 2nd position and was really looking forward to steppping on the podium. Unfortunately something happened. This guy was devastated!

All in all, it was a cloudy and a dramatic race. Till Shanghai, mates!!! :laugh:
