its a tie!

Agree here that both MS and GF are conserving their respective engines for the Suzuka race. FA should have 'conserved' his, too. IMO, it was a futile chase...

What really 'troubled' me with Renault was the way GF was blocking MS when it was obvious that FA was really off the pace, after their first pitstops. If Ferrari were in that position/strategy,- I could imagine the uproar from everybody. Anyway, they saw it as 'part of the race' yesterday.

Suzuka will be very interesting!

Now that you mentioned it, that incident was really amusing. It was one of the unusual entertaining moments.

Fisichella couldn't believe that Alonso was THAT slow, he nearly collided at Alonso's rear end at the turn because he was coming up too fast.

And then, for nearly a mile or two while blocking Schumacher, you can tell that Fisichella was having second thoughts whether to pass Alonso or not (I think the Renault pit crew was slow to radio him that Alonso was in trouble and it was okay to pass him). Any normal F1 car would easily slingshot itself pass a slow moving car such as this (and even considering this was his teammate and Alonso was not even blocking him). So the trio was stuck in a blocking game for a few miles until Fisichella took the cue and rocketed himself pass Alonso.

That incident was funny to me because I remembered those people who were allergic to team orders, and here you are in broad daylight. This is the first time I enjoyed watching this Shanghai GP. I generally don't like the circuit. It's too wide and there are no interesting landscape or whatsoever.

every race is interesting

Last year, the most exciting race was the Suzuka GP.

This year, the most exciting race so far was the Hungarian GP.

Let's see how Suzuku will perform this time if it can top Hungaroring.

And it's forecasted to rain in Suzuka during qualifying,(and possibly during the race(?))....

Bridgestone needs to burn the midnight oil on their tyre issue!

Ganda ng race....

OT: Kahit nilalagnat ako nun, akala ni esmi magaling na ako coz panay ang hiyaw ko, bakit daw pag watch ako F1 para akong nanunuod ng boxing...


What a way to end MS's career....a great fight until the last 2 races. At least maganda ang laban ngayon unlike a couple of years back, middle of the season pa lang meron nang champion.

I'm not a fan of neither MS or FA, nor Ferrari or Renault, but I'm a BIG fan of F1 - the game/sport itself period.

With the changes in some rules, I think this was all the result...

A great season....great races and great drivers!

Sana ganito lagi ang F1 in the coming years!
