If the weather is anything like it is where i am (2 hours drive from silverstone) then i think it'll be a very interesting race, perhaps we'll have a british winner in JB like in hungary two years ago!! i so hope its a dry race for heikki, he deserves the shot at a win, although is most likely lighter on fuel, eventhough he’s been quick in practice.

In this case that will be at the end of todays race, not qualifying. Ok Hamilton stuffed it but we don't know the relative fuel loads and there's no way Heikki is 8 tenths faster on pure pace. My guess is Lewis gambled on a heavier fuel load thinking his outright pace would be good enough for the front row. That bit he got wrong and nobody exected a Red Bull to be in there other than the team itself. I said after the French GP Lewis would win at Silverstone and I'm sticking with it because I have belief in him and in giving someone the opportunity to perform before judging. Lets not forget this is only the halfway point of the season In society the general priciple is not to judge until you’ve seen the full facts.
