Looks like it's going to be a wet race this weekend.

That helps Alonso. He won in Malaysia in the wet, and got pole at Silverstone and Hockenheim. I want Alonso to win it. I'm not a Ferrari fan, but Alonso's driving this season has been nearly faultless.

I'm looking forward to the race on Sunday. It has the potential to be a cracker, especially with the rain factor.

I have a sneaky feeling for one of those 'fairytale' moments i.e. if it is wet, Schumacher to win his last race.

I felt for Massa that day.

After the stunt Ferrari pulled last week, I wouldn't be surprised if Massa's 'Alonso's bitch' task this week will be to destroy Vettel's race by whatever means necessary.

You reckon we could see another Schumacher moment?

Three things I thought I'd never say;

a. It would be nice to see Schumacher win again.

b. I want Alonso to win the WDC.

c. Alonso's my driver of the season.

Looks like two good drivers (Kovalainen, Kobayashi) are going to be out of F1 next season.

Bit daft really seeing as redbull could get both vettel and webber to destroy alonso's race.

I agree but get the impression that it's something that Red Bull would be less likely to do than Ferrari.

If Massa was somehow involved in a legitimate racing incident with Vettel everyone would be crying anyway.

Let's not forget F1's greatest driver doing something similar to win a world championship

Wasn't that the race where, between qualifying and the race, the powers-that-be (mainly a Frenchman) changed the pole position from the clean side of the track to the dirty side thereby putting Prost on the clean side.

From that moment on the writing was on the wall really.

Senna, quite rightly, felt a little aggrieved.

[isaidno]

Hamilton, Vettel, Webber 1-2-3 in both sessions.

[Amin]

Exciting end to FP3, looks like it's going to be a close battle between Red Bull and McLaren for pole position. Earlier on in the session, Raikkonen's engine spectacularly blew up down the DRS straight, something that might worry Red Bull considering that it was a Renault engine.

I hope Jenson beats the snivelling little Sh*t.
