What a cock up ~ looks like the lad may blow it at the last minute again.
eeek:
Is he one as well?

shrugs: I'd need to stand closer to tell.
-
It's down to the wire scared2: Will the lad hold his nerve and become the youngest F1 Champ? rubschin:
-
It is looking likely ~ so long as he hold it together for one more race.
Needs fifth place or better to be certain I read.
-
Well, I hope he gets it.
There's only one place for a Brasilian... and it ain't on the podium drumroll:

A Brazilian Grand Prix fly on the wall with Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa
What if... we could eavesdrop on the final briefings for Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton.
By Andrew Baker
Last Updated: 11:58PM GMT 01 Nov 2008
Stefano Domenicali [team manager, Ferrari]: "Okay, Felipe, positive self-image. You are rightful successor to great Brazilian champions like Emerson Fittipaldi, Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna. Also heir to the masterful reign of Ferrari god Michael Schumacher."
Felipe Massa: "Er.. Okay."
SD: "Banish notion that you are flaky former test driver and natural No 2 who has lucked into a title chance."
FM: "Thanks for that Stefano. But what if it rains?"
SD: "The Vatican should have the weather covered. But just in case, we have fitted carbon-fibre umbrella to the top of your helmet. So you can pretend it is not raining, and you might not spin off the track like a girl."
FM: "What will Kimi be doing to help me?"
SD: "Raikkonen? At present, he is asleep. We wake him for the race. Might work, might not. Sometimes is hard to tell."
Meanwhile at McLaren...
Ron Dennis [team boss]: "Lewis, you need to optimise your strategy to positivicate your title acquisition vision."
Lewis Hamilton: "Check. I'm cool with that."
RD: "Going forward, you need to avoid a backwards scenario to eventuate fifth place in the race."
LH: "Yeah yeah. But can I have a really good go at punting off all the others at the first corner with a desperate and probably doomed tyre-smoking overtaking lunge? They're fun."
RD: "That approach is contra-indicated in our computer simulations."
LH: "Boring! Any chance of help from my team-mate?"
RD: "You have a team-mate?"
LH: "My point precisely. Oh well. S--- or bust as usual then..."

He would have lost it under these new rules rubschin:

Last night on BBC news they were saying Vettel beat Alonso to pole position by 2/1000 of a second. This morning it was by the equivalent of 15cm, no doubt later I'll be told that that is by 1 x chocolate eclair or similar

A national youth group and South London youth services are celebrating the announcement that from 2010, McLaren and Williams will ditch their entire pit crews in favour of local gang members. The move has been heralded as the most forward thinking in a raft radical of changes in the sport, designed to cut costs and increase its profile.
A spokesperson said, "This is the first roll out of our new scheme, Street Skillz, which aims to exploit the existing abilities of young people in a professional environment. Most of these gang members are already highly skilled at removing wheels and engine parts in a high pressure environment. We want to take talented individuals and put them in positions where their expertise can be of most benefit, such as car jackers in pit crews or shoplifters in chicken farms".
The SW11 Soldya Crew from Vauxhall is one of the first gangs to be trialled on the programme. Head honcho 'Skull Fuka', aka Francis O'Donnell said "Allow it yeah. They is going to give us like £200 monthly allowance and the Prince of Wales and a GCSE yeah. Brap."
The move could potentially save teams up to £2 million per year in personnel costs. The F1 industry also hopes the trial will boost its popularity in traditionally working class areas, where the motor racing is viewed as a pursuit of the super rich.
In a mixed message of support from City Hall, Mayor Boris Johnson said, "Currently the London gangland is akin to Papa New Guinea-style orgies of cannibalism and chief killing. If this programme can put a stop to this, then I'm all for it. However, if it turns out to be a failure then rest assured I have been totally opposed to this scheme since its infancy".
