Thanks Ed.
Hope the stewards dont penalised anyone of the 2 drivers in the championship..Plus i would want Kimi in the mix.
My long standing wishlist of 3-way-battle which the stewards robbed me of at Italy should be fulfilled in these 3 races..i hope

As Julian reported earlier, Ferrari had to change Massa's engine yesterday and will thus get a 10 grid penalty for the race tomorrow.
