LOL, yeah, you're not using it lately. I've been subscribed for years and
recently have only seen one post in 6 months and that wasn't about F1.
I'm bummed Hamilton lost the right to appeal that penalty, he clearly let
Raikonnen pass him again. It seems it's only when it effects the leaderboard
that the real fine-print is enforced. Previous to that I've seen lots of
incidents that were similar.
The Singapore race under lights this weekend should be interesting.

a bitch in the wet as the surface is never consistent and gets really
greasy.

Yeah, interesting track. Quite long and, after qualifying the drivers are
saying it's not 'rubbering in' like most street tracks (Monaco FI).
After watching the qualifying it seems quite strange watching a night F1
race. I've watched night Indycar races but they've been on an oval, you
don't need to see more than the track anyway. I found it difficult to 'get a
feel' for the track watching, not much in the way of reference points, hard
to know what corner they're in just from the track. I guess that'll cahnge
as i get used to the track layout though.
Massa seems to be doing a really good job. I find it a bit hard to support
him though, since Shumacher decided to mentor him after his retirement him
he's really improved out of sight. Makes you wonder how much is Massa and
how much is Schumy.
