So who do you think will get the title this year? Massa or Hamilton?

Personally I would like and think Lewis will get it - however he doesn't seem to like doing things the easy way. If he does get it I expect it'll be by 1 or 2 points. :rolleyes:

Here's the drivers table as of the 7th of October

<table class="three-col-results" summary="table detailing the driver's championship table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><th>Driver</th> <th> Team</th> <th> Points</th> </tr> <tr> <td>1. Lewis Hamilton</td><td>McLaren Mercedes</td><td>84</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>2. Felipe Massa</td><td>Ferrari</td><td>77</td> </tr> <tr> <td>3. Robert Kubica</td><td>BMW Sauber </td><td>64</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>4. Kimi Raikkonen</td><td>Ferrari</td><td>57</td> </tr> <tr> <td>5. Nick Heidfeld</td><td>BMW Sauber </td><td>56</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>6. Heikki Kovalainen</td><td>McLaren Mercedes</td><td>51</td> </tr> <tr> <td>7. Fernando Alonso</td><td>Renault</td><td>38</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>8. Sebastian Vettel</td><td>Scuderia Toro Rosso</td><td>27</td> </tr> <tr> <td>9. Jarno Trulli</td><td>Toyota</td><td>26</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>10. Timo Glock</td><td>Toyota</td><td>20</td> </tr> <tr> <td>11. Mark Webber</td><td>Red Bull Racing</td><td>20</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>12. Nico Rosberg</td><td>Williams</td><td>17</td> </tr> <tr> <td>13. Nelson Piquet Jr</td><td>Renault</td><td>13</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>14. Rubens Barrichello</td><td>Honda Racing</td><td>11</td> </tr> <tr> <td>15. Kazuki Nakajima</td><td>Williams</td><td>9</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>16. David Coulthard</td><td>Red Bull Racing</td><td>8</td> </tr> <tr> <td>17. Sebastien Bourdais</td><td>Scuderia Toro Rosso</td><td>4</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>18. Jenson Button</td><td>Honda Racing</td><td>3</td></tr></tbody></table>

I hope it's Kubica but that's just for patriotic reasons ;)

not bringing him in at china for new tires when the sensors on the car told the pit's that the tires were worn out, his fault ?

Not telling them he had to go into the pits or just driving in, in which case they'd have had to change them, not his fault?

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

i think that Massa will win it this year. Next year i think someone new will win it, not hamilton, but maybe BMW or Honda even, maybe even Red bull, depending on how all the teams adjust to the new regulations

If ferrari continue to mess up in the pits and get engine problems then they won't be winning!

Woah look! It's DJ Drew!

well, for their next race they are reverting back to the man with a lollipop stick. so, massa should comfortabley win the next 3 races, and become champion.

doesn't matter does it? the BBC are doing the next few years.

so pretty much all the ITV F1 staff are facing the chop - I expect the BBC to get 1 or 2 of the ITV team, Maybe the commentators.

According to something I read the other day the only person they're keeping on is Martin Brundle and I hope to God that that's true. I may have to break my telly if James Allen is allowed to keep commentating.

I think the BBC will go for a more top gear approach when presenting the F1 instead of ITV's interview heavy program. at least I hope so, I've started to tune in when the race starts and not watching pre race stuff it's getting really boring - only good pre race bit is when they are on the grid interviewing random people

hope bbc hire martin brundle and they keep the grid walks just for quotes like this

Martin: “Any interesting people in your little entourage I can talk to?”

Bernie: “The Prime Minister.”

Martin: “Oh, you’ve done me before on Prime Ministers!”

if you don't want to know todays result until the re-run don't read.

Wow.. today's was over in the first few laps, Lewis needs to learn to not always go on the attack - instead he did and ended up 12th...

He wasted a set of tires on the first corner ¬_¬

He was lucky Massa only gained 1 point, I wonder if her will get punished for hitting into sebastian bourdais

They decided to give Hamilton a drive through, so surely Massa should have got a 10 second stop and go?

driving from (mostly) off the track into the side of someone else is much more serious than going wide and forcing overs off the track.

spoiler in case anyone is waiting for the re-run to see the result

He [Lewis] managed to actually finish this time was was nice, shame kovi didn't show the same pace as lewis so that the points damage could have been more but Lewis can afford to come 5th if Massa comes 1st and win, However with lewis it doesn't seem to be that easy...

We'll see...

      I’m have no interest in listening to GK Barry so it shall be Sounds or Spotify for me.

      Agree completely about not having her on a Thursday, but 2 solid weeks would most likely be too much!!

      Let's hope so, as forcibly taking off one of the best shows on the station one day a week would rival Aled's employment of Danny Beard as his worst decision.

      This GK Barry thing is so weird. Surely they’d give her a slot in the summer instead of ripping up the schedule at the start of the year. Casual listeners will think the change is permanent as it’s lined up with the rest of the schedule changing.    Surely doing the two week stint that James is doing on Going Home would be better.

      Oh I’d forgotten about GK Barry. I do wonder whether Matt & Mollie requested to drop Thursdays or were forced. It’s so random to have a different show on a Thursday afternoon

      Some notes about the schedules released from the 5th September. James is still down to do Weekend Breakfast, it might be his last weekend. Nat and Vicky are down to do the 4th-5th September but generic listings on the 6th Sep. Callum Leslie in for Lauren on Life Hacks. Looks like there will be an Indie show on both the 6th and 8th September as it moves to it new slot. GK Barry begins her run of shows on the 10th September, it's called The GK Barry Show on Radio 1.

      Agreed. I wasn't expecting the gap to be as long as this, and we've not even got an announcement yet. I know they needed to get breakfast sorted, but we knew who was taking over within 4 weeks of Gary stepping in.

      In fairness almost all the presenters this summer have done two week stints. It’s bizarre that the interim show itself is continuing this far into the year though.

      W/C 7th September. Rather unsurprisingly, a new drivetime show isn't being launched this week. Gary Davies is listed still. I wonder if he'll now do a stint on drive until any new show launches.

      Of course completely understand it's not the most important thing to work on, but that doesn't explain how some updates have been made and then removed, that's even more work than just doing the update and leaving it!
