[Blackeye117]

^ So What Will Happen If Button Blocks Alonso ?

[alliereyaz]

atleast alonso to nai banega champion, i want either hamilton or webber should win this WDC

[UncleKracker]

There's many a slip between the cup and the lip.

No official word yet but Hamilton might possibly be in trouble, grid penalty trouble, for that strange incident with Massa. That is according to Martin Brundle, but no word yet. Hopefully better sense will prevail and no action taken. No need to spoil the last race with a penalty. Plus it's better to have him up front and push Vettel;)

@Eddie the drug dealer

You must have connections with Italian Mafia:D I've got the strategy worked out for Ferrari but need your help to pass it on to the team. Maybe one of your Italian mafia friends can help, perhaps?

@genius83

Why is your good friend, Schumacher, missing from the picture with Bernie?

Michal is not the only one who is missing, Senna and Glock are also missing. Senna have been called by Stewards for a questioning about an incident, Glock have to do some work and Schumacher was seen last time going into the Mercedes home wearing a bit too short Denim Shorts. Even Bernie was annoyed with Michal's abscense.
