If Vettel wins five straight, then I'll probably end up doing what I did in 2004.

I hope with Webber confirming he is out at the end of this year, he is going to just crash Vettel out every time Vettel is near him. Imagine Webber in front and he's letting Vettel by. Then he just takes Vettel out.

As to replacing Webber's seat, how about Rosberg? When does his contract end? I can't see Hamilton going. Maybe Kimi. How about the two STR drivers?

Off topic, I heard Loeb did an unofficial 8:36 on practice day. That's over a minute faster than Millen's record. After Loeb's first qualifying run, he wanted to change his spring rates (from what it looked like the mechanics were doing). His first posted time was already miles ahead of the competition.

Yeah... Anyone who talks about cars, cars, cars is just not getting the picture about how important the driver is.

Eh that was WRC's fault as well. They made some dumb rules.

He's only had 1 dominate year. He's had to go down to the last race the other two years... He's hardly Schumacher dominating.

Sucks for haters that someone is so good they keep beating others... but that's life.

I love it
