@all
guys I missed the whole racing weekend because I was in the hospital where my sister was admitted after falling from the roof in her college on friday last week now as she is being discharged from the hospital and have come home I am asking for some favor if any one could give me the direct link from where I could download the race video or when the highlights of the race will be shown on Starsports. Thanks in Advance.

Dude sorry to hear about your sister... is she ok?! Fell from the roof... damn! Anyway hope all is good... I was wondering how your racing strategy was panning out... anyway off the top of my head your best bet is youtube to check out the highlights... just search for european grandprix 2008 and check out the clips... downside is some of the clips hve japanese commentary but rarely will you luagh your a$$ off while watching f1 grand prix... good stuff...

@beglar

Dont worry dude, a blind man's (my) luck can only last this long. The show is yours.

@nightsurfer

dude if a blind man is able to overtake one who supposedly has eyes then there is only so much to be said about the one with vision... no no please by all means the show is yours... I insist.

No but seriously this weekend is going to be off the hook... and the fact that ferrari have come out in full support of kimi tells me we are gonna see a change at the prancing horse for next year...

Ferrari have just confirmed that they are retaining both the drivers.

@beglar and comtrak
well my sister is fine thanks to the Mighty ALLAH and thanks for asking .
As for my race strategy last race result give me 2 places jump from 16 to 14 and also I am the top point getter last week. I have enough driver to complete the season without worry but the problem is about the teams where I have to gamble.

Sorry to hear about your sister and what you had to go through because of it. Good to hear she is on her way to full recovery.

One other option you have regarding this race or any other this season is to get a working IP address of UK from a site like proxy4free or something similar. Use that to go to itv-f1. and watch the race highlights of any this season. The second option is what Begs suggested and i second what he said about never having laughed so much while watching a race because of the commentary.

Umm Kimi probably wants to return the favour to Hamilton by taking points of Massa much like the two Mclaren drivers did last season and even then it was one big chocking act by Hamilton that "gifted" Kimi a world title.
He does go very well at Spa but historically there is always rain at some point during the GP weekend at Spa. I am hopping it comes at a time which screws Kimis race so that its easy for everyone at Ferrari to back Massa. Now the pint sized Brazilian might or might not be able to pull off the world title but he sure as hell deserves it more than Mr Raikkonen. If Massa fails to win so be it. I hate Hamilton but he will be a worthy world champion.

@UK

I guess it is wishful thinking to think that kimi coming back from this slump is a certainty but I think the old goat has it in him... Massa jut doesnt look like he will carry it through... i hope he does... to be honest I am at this point impartial between kimi and massa winning it... I still think hamilton has a few more blunders in him but I will say this much that if the guy wins it in the end no one can say it wasn't earned... I mean so what if the polar bear went to sleep halfway through the season

@genius
Very sorry to hear about your sister. I hope she is OK now.

[genius83]

@NS
Thanks for asking yes she is ok and recovering well MASHAALLAH.
As for kimi and Massa battles it will be depend on the weather in the next 4 out of 6 races that is at belgian, shanghai, fuji, interlagos. And may be the first night race could also have some rainy weather. monza is the only circuit which will be most likely dry. The only thing is this that in the ferrari garrage they know what to do at what time and don't make silly mistakes they are doing in the last few races.

@beglar_begi
It probably is wishful thinking to hope Kimi will bounce back the same way as he did last year. Again that was more to do with the internal stuff at Mclaren and Hamilton joining some of the greatest chokers of sports.
Kubica has as much of a chance to win the title as Kimi for he is five points behind Raikkonen i think. Sadly, Kubica doesn't have the car to fight for the title. I think Massa is the more deserving of the two Ferrari drivers based on this season`s performance. Kimi needs a DNF from Hamilton in a GP where he ( Raikkonen) scores the maximum points to have a realistic chance.
Moving into winter the Mclarn should be more competitive in cooler temperature.

@UK

Hmmm indeed... I agree this season massa has shown why michael schumacher wanted him to stay on at ferrari... and yes kimi would need not only for hamilton to bite the big one in one of the grands prix but also score maximum himself (what're the chances of the latter happening eh?) its sad really... i guess everyone, myself included, expected the same consistency from kimi that we got from schumi (tall order)

Funny you should mention Kubica... imagine him in a ferrari... ? I think the guy has shown that he can take a second tier car (at best) and give results imagine what he could do with the ferrari engine pushing him along.
Anyway I think ferrari will probably still be backing kimi for the next grand prix or at best treating both the drivers on an even keel... its probably kimi's last chance to prove his intentions for the season... if he doesnt perform then no doubts massa takes precedence... which would make things mondo complicated for 2k9 if kimi stays on eh? But I get ahead of myself...

Analysis: Understanding F1's power game

With Formula One heading to power tracks Spa-Francorchamps and Monza in successive weekends, recent chatter about engines is only likely to increase as the title battle enters its final phase.

Talk about variations between manufacturers first surfaced when Flavio Briatore and Fernando Alonso both complained their Renault team had lost out by not exploiting the engine freeze as much as other car makers.

HE`s BACK!! God help all F1 drivers

Sato to test for Toro Rosso this month

Takuma Sato is to return to the Formula One cockpit with Scuderia Toro Rosso later this month as part of an evaluation test for a 2009 drive with the team.

The Japanese has been out of action since Super Aguri folded ahead of the Turkish Grand Prix but, as autosport.com reported last month, is a leading contender for a 2009 race seat with Toro Rosso because of his experience and the marketing opportunities his arrival would offer Red Bull in his home nation.

Who invited him back?! Seriously man are they telling me that advertising dollars run F1?! (duh)
I wanna see what Senna jr. does if he gets to test for F1...

[UncleKracker]

Sadly that seems to be the case. He will be in a shoot out with Sebastien Buemi, and he is likely to come out on top:'(

Bruno Senna! Ahh that surname will never let him live in peace. He could turn out to be a very very good driver but he will always be compared with his late great uncle which is very unfair.
