Blimey, the usual F1 posters being a bit slow today!

So is JB finally gonna break his duck, or will Rubens finally win his home GP? And how much will be cry if he does? Be quite a sight, like to see Rubens do it.

DC is quoted as saying 'I like Interlagos, I'm usually competitive there' and 'qualifying was close last year and should be even closer this year' I'm sure there is an excuse brewing somewhere..

EDIT: a rough translation for those who aren't used to listening to David.. 'blah blah blah, blah blah blah' and 'blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah'

Last GP this year.

How many of us will miss it? will we spend the rest of the winter lamenting over Silverstone?

DC has also been saying this, not that he sounds like a desperate man:


as he faces his 150th and final grand prix with McLaren, David Coulthard made an impassioned plea to be considered for the role with the team that brought him into the sport in 1994 in the wake of Ayrton Senna

My apologies for being a bit slow (my net access at work is a bit shakey right now!)
I'll be first to get in the ITV schedule though (the timing is good this time and watching the race live shouldn't be too much of a challenge at teatime on Sunday!)

Quali 23.20 - 01.05 Saturday evening

Race 17.20 - 19.50 Sunday afternoon

It's the first time they've ever shown quali live on ITV2 AFAIK

I'm always when they don't put the quali on until midnight
