After having his ten position grid penalty lifted for hitting Mark The Web in the arse at the Japanese GP the FIA decided to give almost the same penalty back to young Seb for slowing up Heikki Kovalainen during qualifying. This time though they were kind enough to only shit-can him five places. I think the FIA stewards just wanted to see if they could make Sebastian cry again. Those cruel bastards! Yet Vettel overcame and stormed from 17'th to 4'th in that piece of shit known as the STR. They have always said rain is the great equalizer and time and again it proves to be the case. Just like in Japan Vettel was right up there with the big boys, luckily this time he was rewarded for his heroic stomping of the field. After the race the young man had no words, just howls of happiness, though in all honesty it sounded like he'd got his foot caught in a bear trap.
Lewis Hamilton's tires wore away and he ended up beaching himself in a gravel trap down the pit lane entry. I couldn't believe my eyes. While I'm not a massive Hamilton supporter, I was just amazed this had happened to him. The guy has Michael Schumacher type luck, and is one hell of a driver as well... so to see him slide off the pit entrance and beach himself was just astonishing. Once I'd seen his race was over, I couldn't help but laugh out loud for a good few minutes. Not that I wished bad luck to fall upon him, but seeing Alonso drive past his crippled team mate just made me lose it. I can only imagine Fernando's thoughts when he came across that sight. The Fern was talking about how only a miracle could keep his title hopes alive, and one happened. Just amazing.
While I don't care who wins the championship this year, I'm glad it is finally going down to the last race. While it would be cool to see Lewis win and become the first rookie champion, it'd also be funny to see Fernie win because everybody at McLaren hates him, lastly, I personally would like to see Kimi win it. I honestly feel bad for The Kimster. While at McLaren his cars always broke. Now the ever reliable Ferrari is giving him shit, granted, not as much as when he was racing the silver arrows, but still, it's breaking on him. Some say that this is Kimi's fault as he whomps the shit out of his cars like a drunk hillbilly does to his step children... but still, these cars are meant to be driven hard and Ferrari should be giving him something he can really beat on. We've seen the amazing things Kimi has done by driving his cars hard. Raikkonen has produced more awesome passes and mechanical failures in recent years than any other driver. The guy is an exciting driver and I'd like to see him win it after waiting all these years. We all know Hamilton is gonna be a many times over world champion... so I hope Kimi catches it this year. Just like I hoped Schumi would win it last year... and because I'm wishing all of this Hamilton will win, but I already knew that.

Thank you very much! Greatly appreciated!
I hear McLaren are interested in Vettel for Alonso's sure-to-be vacant seat next year. I'd be up for some of that
