Really glad for both Heikki and Mark - both excellent performances!

Bookies reckon that Heikki will take it, but with Lewis and Kimi on level pegging right behind!

Kimi massively odds on to take the Championship though.

They've been decidedly worst of the mid-field since 2004 ended (when they canned DR), with only a minor blip at the end of '06 after Button won at a chaotic Canada.

I think Honda have given up on this year. I don't know why but I think they will have something really special for next season.

Is it just me, or is qualifying better than the actual race these days?
Always has been, IMO.

This has got to be good for the championship though.

I believe that Massa and Kubica will only pick up minor points unless there are a lot of mechanical breakdowns, Kovalainen should score well as should Webber, but neither of them are in the title race, and Hamilton and Kimi will probably finish within a point of each other.

Then again I could be wrong

Jensen said tongue in cheek said forget 2009, it is 2010 that they hope to have a chance.

I am a mega Jensen fan and love the pairing with Honda (who else would be better for JB?), but what needs to be done to get the car faster?

Anyone more F1 than me know where the car is losing time? Is it still the down force issue of years a go or is the wee Honda V8 outta puff???

Don't write Massa off just yet. He has the points and the car to mount a serious challenge.

Not sure if the rain showers will make a difference, but I expect they might

I'm absolutely not writing off Massa for the title, I just think that the others will score more heavily tomorrow and hopefully this will all lead to another big grandstand finish to the season.
