Yes the penultimate race of the season is now upon us. What a farce yesterday’s qualifying was. I popped out to Tescos only to discover upon my return Q2 had been restarted and had been completed. I think as with most world champions before him, Jensen Button has us biting our nails in anticipation.

However qualifying in 14th with your major rival, your team mate Rubens Barrichello popping into pole position. He could now potentially wipe out three quarters of your lead, if you were to finish where you are.

Let’s not have a Lewis Hamilton cliffhanger, lets go and do the business. 9 years in the wings, time to step up to the plate and hold your nerve.

So what are you thoughts on his decision to drive for Ferrari in place of Massa?

I think it’s going to be great, just wondering if any of the other drivers will be as enthusiastic as Lewis Hamilton seems to be?

Don’t get me wrong, I thought at the beginning of his Ferrari dominance, he was an arrogant SOB. But then towards the end I started warming to the guy. Even more so when he appeared on Top Gear recently.

He’s definitely going to keep the other drivers honest. I agree with Eddie Jordan, he’ll be sniffing around the podium in Valencia.

At least Rubens Barrichello will be happy, for a short time, he won’t be the oldest driver on the grid
