Only if he qualifies well, Valencia is nt terribly o.t. friendly. Remember Alonso & Nakajima coming together at the start? And if Kimi, Mark, JB & Vettel somehow manage decent grid slots, life could become very difficult for LH.

I wonder what BGP can do. It should be a track and circumstances that suits them. Vettel is the one I'd put my money on.

btw. Did anyone tested with rFactor at Valencia with the F1_2005 CTDP mod ? My PB is 1.37 flat but still not completely happy with the setup so it would be nice to compare my setup with others. PM me pls.

This race could be very exciting I personally like the Valencia Street Circuit as Vettel went well there last year. I'm expecting a great performance fromm the Red Bull's and I think quali will finish like this
1.Vettel
2.Webber
3.Kimi
Mclaren have improved but I'm hoping that they don't mess with the Red Bull's plans another struggling weekend for Brawn is on the cards and I hope Toro Rosso can somehow help Red Bull as they understand the new car better and have a new front wing for Valencia. KERS will play a huge part particularly on the first lap exiting the bridge onto that 13 second flat out section if you want to be safe i'd say be on pole and hope a KERS car isn't behind you. If not then we will see some racing boys! Rosberg if he can get ahead of Button again that will do the Red Bull's a whole world of good and who knows if Renault are allowed to race then Alonso low fuel again.

Kimi is a little boy to Hamilton :lol: , he is fast, but LH will pass kimi if he has to.
Same results as last week, only that Button will be on podium this time. I don't trust Vettel anymore when it comes to Kers cars being behind him.
(Can't believe i am talking about a ferrari and Mclaren challenging for wins again.)

Hamilton is angry that he didn't get shumis old ass to kick, so he won't play nice this weekend. :P

Joking asaid, what are the similarities between Lauda's and Massa's driving? i never started watching F1 till 2000, and i don't think i existed when Lauda was racing. :)
For Sure!!

Renault to race at Valencia after appeal.

Damn right!

"The court decided to uphold Renault's appeal against the one-race ban imposed by the race stewards, and instead issued a reprimand and imposed a $50,000 fine."

"Full verdict to be published in the days ahead"

Literal translation:

"Our stewards are a bunch of trigger-happy bozos, we now just need a few days to figure out which one to pin the blame on"

My dream translation:

"We're taking Alan Donnelly out back and beating him with a length of frozen garden hose."

HahA, I can remember LH passing Kimi so many times in the last couple years... several times(maybe 3 o 4) in malaysia this year alone.

NAme some of the great Kimi passes on LH?

Spa 2008 into the camel straight? forgot?
3 to 4 times in Malaysia alone?? :?
and its always difficult to pass Lewis...cos he weaves and moves across the track too much ....his defending skill is good, but he does it too much and illegally aswell.

See for example after he famously cut the chicane and overtook Kimi, and into the camel straight he blocked like 3 to 4 times in that straight alone

I don't necessarily know that it's skill at defending so much as his very loopy line...some of each, no doubt.

I took my gf and her sister go karting Saturday for their first time, and damned if they weren't tougher to pass than most - just because I couldn't figure out where the hell they were going next!
