Another F1 race on a consecutive weekend. With Renault opting not to use their mass damper system following correspondence with Charlie Whiting (Race Director) even though the FIA has said that they would not penalise teams with retrospective points reductions if their appeal against the stewards at the German grand prix for ruling that the system is legal is upheld.

Anyhow, it seems no one apart from Kimi will be able to come near the Ferraris. It must be annoying for Michael to have first place in the race at risk from Kimi. I'm sure he would much prefer Kimi just to make up one of the places between 3rd and wherever Alonso finishes with a couple of Hondas in between too.

All in all, it seems like the huge gap between Renault and Ferrari which few thought could be recouped is in fact probably going to be made up very easily by the Ferraris.

Good - I was really starting to hate Alonso's arrogance in interviews and his repeated fist-waving on the track (not that Schumi is any less arrogant).

Anyway, any thoughts gentlemen?
