    Everytime they knock the flicks/vanes/cascades off the front wing it makes me cringe. Probably not as badly as the guys/girl who actually make the bits though!

    Looks like it'll be another disappointing weekend for Hamilton, he always seems to have the pace all the way through the weekend until crunch time, it'll be interesting to see if he leaves McLaren this year if results don't pick up.

    Great drives from Alonso and Schumacher doing the business in the wet once again.

    Who knows what the race will turn out like, McLaren look super strong in the dry though could be a real challenge if they get a good start.

    I think it will be Alonso vs Vettel for the win.

    As with every other race this season, I'd like to see a Lotus victory, though I hope Schumi does well as well

    Red Bull have been referred to the stewards by the FIA for a suspected breach of technical regulations with their engine mapping.

    They seem to be forever the focal point of controversy this season. Hopefully nothing comes of it as I can't really see anyone else challenging Alonso this weekend.

    Should be interesting to see if anything comes from this, if so then Alonso has most likely got this in the bag.

    No further action to be taken as the rules aren't clear enough on the matter.

    Pretty bad, it looks Red Bull may be disqualified with one steward stating that he believes what they have done is illegal.

    Interesting that 3 of the top 4 were the same as Silverstone.

    Alonso in the bag if Red Bull are sent to the back, if not then Alonso vs Vettel.

    The battle for 3rd should be interesting with Schumi, Webber, Mclarens and Kimi.

    Scratch that, Red Bull having no further action however the rule is likely to be changed (they got off via wording).
