Russell was first in Practice #1 and 2, but do you bet the ranch on him to win? :shock: Decisions, decisions. :laugh: :thumb:

He's done incredibly well, but I think you'll find qualifying and the race itself will be a different kettle of fish ....... That said, who the hell am I to talk judging by my position in the league! :oops: :roll:

Unfortunate for Mercedes, but great for Perez who may be near the end of his career. :cheers:

A difficult race to pick well but Blacky did just that. Blacky moves to 5 1/2 points behind our leader, Parahandy, and it will all come down to the final race next weekend. Not impossible, but difficult.

The big battle next weekend will be between Vital Spark, Lindosfan and Bamboo Grove for the 3rd spot on the podium. Will be an exciting finish! :cheers:

I've sent Parahandy out shopping and I'm hoping he'll pick up something (other than beer) so that his mind will be a bit blurred for next weekend. I quite fancy second spot on the podium, but I'll settle for third.

That was a fabulous race to watch last night and I was really rooting for George, but equally happy that Perez got his long-awaited spot on the podium. What happened with the Mercedes pit crew this weekend? They totally ruined it for both of the drivers. I'd love to see George have another spin in the Mercedes - it's OK Lewis, just rest in your penthouse in Monaco and let someone else have a go. Oh, have you signed your contract for next year yet? George would be much cheaper...

A word of advice, lindosfan, don't mess with VS, she's a dangerous woman. Whisper it softly, but Parahandy hasn't been seen in public for over a year... :guns:

I remember it well - thought I was on for a win there :( . You've just reminded me of a classic Frankie Howerd quote when he was referring to one of the pretty Pompeii ladies: "...so chaste, but so easily caught". :naughty:

Just an IMO. I would be amazed if Hamilton has the stamina to get through this weekend and win. He's made of strong stuff but this would be exceptional if he's fit enough for it all. We'll see I guess.
