Ah it appears we have some heretics in our midst who has not accepted the true faith.

Alfy, with your permission I would like to start a formal inquisition against these transgressors in the name of the Silver Knights. Where in fact Hamilton is the Messiah.

Dont forget that... infidels.

permission granted young knight.

but see these ppl fail to see how hamilton is the messiah. just like jesus, he was stoned, being spit on by haters. so that right there is enough to convince me that he is the messiah.

just so sad to see ppl like blue reni, polo, bse live in this world called DENIAL. its ok, they will one day they will see the light, and me, you and atlgp will be there to greet them. till then, they shall die by our swords. which btw i just got it enchanted with +50 damage to ferrari fans

watching practice, hamilton is number 1 now.

haha. even though i am a ferrari fan at heart, i do like mclaren and hamilton. mclaren have always made the prettiest f1 cars. the mp4-4 and the mp4-20 are probably the best looking cars of all time. Not so much for mp4-24. I think it looks fat particularly in the side pods but hey they can all be winners i guess.

Alfy, I am nervous that ever since Massa had his injury Raikkonen has been stepping up his game. It is his fault we did not have two silver knights on the podium last race. He was also showing some strong form during todays practice.

I am fearing that smiting the Ferrari fans will be a bit difficult as long as Raikkonen keeps his form up. Fortunately Ferrari has also blessed us by presenting a court jester as a driver. We shall forever be able to mock them for this!

I shall see to my own +15 enchantment which is more suitable for a junior knight and start smiting Ferrari fans as soon as possible!

Damn I'm looking forward to qualifier and race. I love Spa!

Schu 'comeback' caps on sale at Spa

Aug.28 (GMM) From the merchandising stands at Spa-Francorchamps on Friday, 25 euros could buy you an official cap to celebrate the "comeback" of F1's most successful driver Michael Schumacher.

The only glitch is that the former seven time world champion called off his return to replace the injured Felipe Massa.

The official caps, however, were when he made the decision seemingly already en route to his favourite circuit in Belgium; scene of his formula one debut in 1991, his first win a year later, and five other victories on the awesome layout amidst the Ardennes forest.

The merchandise features the words 'Schumi' and 'comeback' on the brim, and his personal logo alongside '09', to celebrate the sensational return that was not to be due to injury.

Just read that Mark Webber had engine problems in the last free practice. The Renault engine really does not seem to like the red bull car.

And where did Heidfeld get that sudden speed?

Badoer did the radillon-eau rouge pass @322km\h.
Was the fastest of all day and didn't complete his last fast lap due to pit errors\traffic.
This is the truth and we know it but hell, you're so slow and you are so brave to risk your career waiting for the last second to start a friggin fast lap?
I hope he has diarrhoea tomorrow.

If I were a ferrari employee in Maranello, I would walk ahead of Badoer when going into town for lunch and pretend we are not together.

Yeah i was shocked at that speed Badoer did. Pretty ballsy. He was closer to pace but his spin out in the kitty litter was end of his day. I feel bad for him. He really is as useless as Niki Lauda said

I think this track points out THE design flaw of Force India, BMW, and Toyota. That makes no sense you say, due to their stellar qualifying effort. Let me explain myself. Spa is one of the fastest circuits start to finish. Every year when teams are designing their new cars, they must make a compromise with the chassis. They must "try" to build a car that is slightly better at slower tracks than fast ones, or vice versa. Either that, or "try" to build a car that is neutral. The key word here is "TRY", especially considering the rule changes from last year to this one. It appears that the three teams mentioned above "tried" to build a car that was better at fast flowing tracks and got the formula skewed too far in that direction. I would not be suprised at all to see these same teams do well at Monza. If they do, I will not attribute it to a sudden increase in form, but rather a design flaw on their part. What is the point of dominating at the 3 fastest tracks and running like a dog at the others?? As I said before, it was not intentional on the part of these three teams to be so good at Spa and so bad at the other tracks.
