I'm no fan of Ferrari, but as far as I'm concerned neither car finished the race, which means that they can't be penalised for changing their engines. Seems pretty straightforward to me, I think the same would apply to any other team in that position.

The weather forecast looks a bit interesting...I wonder if DC has stopped kicking seven bells out of Massa in order to panic about having to race in the wet?

I would love it to be a wet race, though not quite as wet as the 2001 race, which turned into a complete farce.

Looking at the forecasts I'd say that there's every chance that it's going to be very wet.

Martyn, you beat me to it, I was going to make a comment like that.

That is the downside of a very wet race - if it's like Fuji last year but without traction control, I can imagine certain drivers (*cough* Webber *cough*) wanting to just drive around behind the safety car. Or wanting to steer clear of Hamilton and Vettel, anyway.

Webber will most likely have broken down,spun off or have been struck by lightning long before he has a chance of being 'taken out' by a 'kid'.

If it does rain and Lewis decides to brake test the field again we could have less finishers than Melbourne.

Agreed.

He didn't show too well last season in the wet,mainly because the RA107 was hard enough to keep on the black stuff in the dry! The RA108 seems to be a much better racing car altogether in that respect.

Bring on the rain (but not too much).

He lost his nose cone at Fuji (or maybe the Ring) but didn't realise as he noticed no difference in the car!

The last corner has caught most of the drivers out.Track still 'green' though.
