ITV is a British channel and there is nothing wrong with covering Hamilton for his home GP. It's funny really, Australians are fanatic about Webber (only because he's a fellow Aussie) and they have the nerve to bash the British channel for supporting Hamilton because he's the British hope. @David: I guess in Australia the F1 coverage is called “THE MARK WEBBER SHOW”.

That he didn't even make a lap i Q3 because of some technical problems. You forgot to mention the reason to why Kubica finnished in 10th.

The car doesn't have the pace of the top teams, but the driver does. I think the number 10 Red Bull has a bit more fuel in it then most seem to assume. It may not be a win, but if he is not beaten by both Mclarens, and at least one BMW and a Ferrari it will be because he out drives them in a slower car. Webber is one of the best in the game with the raw speed and the car development skills to back it up (with a succession of team mates blown away over the years to prove it.)Imagine if the guy ever got a level one car. Wouldn't be great to see the best drivers all in cars capable of winning.

Finland tomorrow xD I cant belive Webber - hes talented, but car aint top of the range . - to stay up with Kimi and Heikki, untill 1st pitstop it will be quiet a battle. Will Hamilton try too much? there is change that hes on grass at very 1st laps... Its Finland VS. Finland tomorrow xD

Let´s see how he handles the pressure once the race starts. As for Ferrari, really, it´s getting very annoying, I´ve never seen a team mess up so much with one driver. It seems every time Massa has a shot at something, Ferrari finds a way to bring him down again. Last season was the trasmission setting, the race strategies and this season they seem to always do something wrong during the pitstops. I´m going to predict 1-Raikkonen 2-Lewis 3-Kovalainen I don´t think Heiki will be able to hold off those two in the begining of the race, speacially Kimi, and Lewis will be faster as well, come race time (besides, a british driver in a british team finishing second to his teammate in Britain? Yeah, right...) Great job by Kovalainen, no one was expecting such a good performance, but I have to say he has been much more consistent than Lewis this season.

What can I say, just absolutely amazing you have to take your hats off to Mark and say he was the hero of qualifying today. I still tip Kimi to win the GP but I would love to see Mark get another podium for Red Bull. Alonso did well as well I think and it would be great to see him beat hamilton tomorrow Mark Webber!
