   Well Hamilton is fastest in 1st Free Practice :-D  Button is 3rd.  Hopefully they'd do the same for qualifying tomorrow.

And I hate the latest news about Sky.  I'm livid!  I hate Sky.  I don't want Sky and I'm certainly not paying for watching F1!

GRRRRRRRRRR!

Terrible news.

	I never mentioned Alonso in my recent posts. So don't worry, Brian!

	Because I remember those one or two races Hami got bogged a few spots down he really tore through the field... Winky face so you Brits don't go all crazy rage fest! It did go to show the teams are finally leveling out. Even Massa held Vettel up, and good thing about the teams reaching some balance....more chance for Ferrari and Alonso to win. Oh man I can't wait for that. Whew, I almost gave you a serious time answer James, good thing I caught myself! Edited by JJLehto - July 27 2011 at 19:09

	Yeah, Andy. Hami was Godly in this race. He was quality in Qualifying and quality in the race. Hopefully he can replicate for the rest of the season. That was a gutsy race win. Better than any of Vettel's wins too. Leading from the front is his forté and being back down the grid doesn't agree with him!

	I must have missed that incident... I was kind of distracted through a lot of it! I did see that awesome re-overtake by Hami though. Webber took him and Hami took him straight back. Awesome!

	^It was strange how badly his car was handling this weekend as well, visibly carrying masses of understeer, it was like he had a different car to what Lewis had. 5 place grid penalty to Buemi for pushing Heidfeld off the track like a dozzy sod.

	Button was a DNF... for the last two races too! I feel sorry for him, he keeps getting all the bad luck.

	I was gunna say a nice rebound for Hami, but he hasn't actually done badly at all...just for his standards I'm glad to see the 3 main teams all reach equal footing, this year may get really exciting now! Though we still need a DNF and someone to capitalize to have a good shot at defeating the 5th reich.

	Awesome race (although I was pre-occupied). Excellent race by Lewis. He's been awesome the whole weekend. I hope he's back to his best again. He's driving the life out of that McLaren! And yep, Sutil did well too. Good race there for him! Shame about Di Resta, I reckon if he'd not had that incident, he'd have been top 6 too.

	Missed the first 20 laps, had to yell at the bank and knew I was gunna miss something. Wonder how Vettel was in 5th place. Something must've happened. Of course he grabbed the spot during the last moment pit stop....or his crew got him the spot. Seemed exciting, lots of dicing, Petrov being a bloodthirsty Russian and final lap pits. Also looks like the gap may have been closed. Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari are all continually in the mix now. Vettel needs to have a DNF though, because slowly eating away may not be enough to catch him. Nothing too surprising in the results except Sutil in the Force India making it to 6th place!

	Goodness, been so busy with work I forgot about Deutschland. Good thing I remembered it's Sunday tomorrow Webber on pole! Will he maintain the lead longer than last time? It'd only take 150 feet... Look at Ricciardo down there. Good god HRT is bad Edited by JJLehto - July 23 2011 at 18:24
