Race will start with safety car
Click to expand...

If the race starts behind the safety car, then the rules state that the teams must use extreme wets. They'll overheat in about 4 corners...
 
Warm-up lap starts...GET READY!

THE RACE STARTS! Kubica at pit.

Accident! Piquet and Rosberg out. SAFETY CAR!

This is going to be a long evening!
 
Poor DC :(
 
Perhaps it's a bit early to say this, but I think we're probably looking at reaching the two hour time limit today.
 
Safety car out! Race starts...again! Go Massa!
Track looks dry. Dry track + intermediate tyres = mad race.
And Alonso passes Kova. Vettel pushing Hamilton, Alonso pushing Vettel...this sounds great.

Once again David's car seems to have exhibited its strange magnetic properties with Williams cars.
 
Kovalainen is trying to get Alonso...
...but he can't do it.

Massa does fastest lap.
 
And Raikkonen tries to pass Trulli...
...but Trulli closes every door.

The pit-stop dance starts.
Alonso and Vettel enter. Now Kova is behind Hamilton.
Massa enters. Kova enters.
Hamliton enters. Alonso and Vettel passes Hamilton! Hamilton behind Jarno "The wall" Trulli.
Trulli spins and does a "Frontside 360" 100 points
The first turn is still wet.

After the first pit-stops:

Massa
Vettel
Alonso
Raikkonen
Fisichella (he entered very early)
Hamilton
Glock
Bourdais

Hamilton is being careful. Clearly he's not a rookie anymore
 
And Hamilton gets Fisichella. Vettel does fastest lap.
This is the first time that I DON'T want that Vettel catches the driver in front of him.
Massa fastest lap. Bourdais goes at the grass and comes out.
Grid:

Massa
Vettel
Alonso
Raikkonen
Hamilton
Glock
Fisichella (he entered very early)
Trulli

What a move - I wouldn't even have tried that in a computer game...

... and a dry race for the rest of the day? Got to be good news for Massa...
 
That was a harsh pass by Trulli.
 
And Vettel does fastest lap, closing to Massa!
Ferrari car vs Ferrari engined-car.
Massa does fastest lap.

And Kovalainen gets Trulli. Vettel enters.
Kovalainen gets Fisichella. And Hamilton late-brakes and punishes front left wheel.

I tried that in a GTR2 race a few days ago and ended up somewhere in the middle of Sao Paulo.

Well it certainly is a good race.
 
Something needs to happen for Massa to be crowned champion, and I can't see anything on the horizon.

still got another round of pit stops where anything can happen and usually things do happen
 
Massa enters. Alonso enters. Hamilton enters. Kimi enters.

I reckon Lewis has this in the bag now...
 
He's played it cool - but he's being kept very honest...

I can't see anyone (except for Vettel) having to pit again... reckon the ITV boys have got that a bit wrong (although they have corrected themselves already)... how ironic would it be, however, if Alonso could snatch the win and deny Massa the Championship? I think (and hope) that the result will be pretty much as it stands now...
 
Live timing expects another round of stops, actually.

Edit: Never mind, not anymore.
