Look at McLaren up there, lets hope they can do that when it counts.

 

Let's hope not. I don't have them on my team.

 

For all the SpeedTV viewers: Did you guys here Peter Windsor drop a hint about his USF1 having a young, un-experienced (in F1) American driver...hmmmm. Wonder if we'll learn he's talking about in the next few races.

Oh and someone was a little more awake than I was at 7am this morning when I was trying to watch practice before heading out. I know my up stairs looks pretty cluttered in this pic...I am bachelor, what can I say.

 

I was up at 7am to watch P1 but could only watch for about 30 min before I had to leave for work.

I think I'm going to try to get Heikki on my fantasy team today. Not sure about Hamilton being worth it yet.

Who do you guys predict to win this weekend?

Right now, I think it'll look something like this:

1. Button
2. Vettel
3. Barrichello
4. Kovalainen
5. Webber
6 Rosberg
7. Hamilton
8. Massa
