MS will win if it is dry, Alonso will win if it is wet. Same for Brazil. The WDC rests in the lap of the Rain Gods :shock:

Not only is blinkbill back on line for a limited time only . . . .

more importantly China featured something I have missed . . .

My crazy friend Sato.

My prediction is that Sato will decide the championship. Not tyres, not the rain Gods . . . our good friend Sato.

And yes - he will give schumi one last love bite into the wall in Japan. . . some place he tried to take Trulli out last year from memory!!

Race Result:

1. FA
2. Kimi
3. Massa
4. Jenson
5. Fisi
6. Kubica
7. Pedro
8. Webbo

Onya Blinky :lol:

If Sato does give MS a love bite, it will because the RainGods have spoken. .......As Sato comes richochetting off the wall, he collects MS, who was about to put a lap on him........Then MS in the "spin spin spin " Pherrari (is that better Snowy?) takes the front off FA's non-mass dampered Phrenault :lol:

Guilty as charged. But gotta admit it's fun :)

Sooo... Blinky thinks Thato :twisted: will decide the outcome. He might be right. We should not discount the effect of the backmarkers. Thinking back of the 2005 Istanbul GP where Monteiro and Montoya had a closer-than-desired encounter...
