For the first time ever I am hoping that it will not rain. The intermediate tires of bridgestone are not as good as Michellins

This is the wrong time for rain... :(

If it dries until tomorrow, then MS may have a chance. If not.... :?

Damn, Schumacher is behind Alonso, with Massa way back. Still, anything can happen.

Hah ... schumacher hates this new chinese track :D :D

^Yeah, he's had a terrible record both times this track has been used for F1.

Let it rain let it rain
1 2 for renault.
Good results for renault bye bye ferrari.
:D :o

F**K....I guess I jinxed it....

even if alonso wins this ..... the next 2, brazillian and japaneese will be very hard to win. hopefully :lol:

Superb effort by Michael - he was the only Bridgestone runner to make it to Q3 in a tyre that was quite inferior to the Michelin.

Go Schumi! :mrgreen:

Oh and Doornbos too! 10th Place for him isn't bad at all :shock: :!:

schumi truly is the rain master, can't believe he made it to 6th position... the rain really fucked it all up...

and it is clearly evident when comparing lap times between him and his teammates that he has lost nothing over the years, and perhaps only gained time...

lets see what happens in about 9 or 10 hours

I pray that this weather report is correct :|
