Yay! You still love me

C'mon admins, liven this thread.

Looking forward to getting up early the next 3 days everyone? At least it's mostly done and dusted by the time the wife gets up.

Hoping for a Hamilton win, and providing no reliability issues, some racing between him and Rosberg and the Redbulls who still seem closest to Merc.

Don't forget your predictions at zdkf1.com.

Damn too slow again.....

Hoping for a good fight with no wacky race antics

I wonder how Nico will attack the race, will he be cautious or throw caution to the wind.

I thought he was the cautious type till recently. But following his 'leaving his car where Lewis would hit it' incident and outbraking himself twice when under pressure makes me think otherwise.

He'll be cautious I think, cannot afford another DNF. Hamilton can actually bully him on the track now and if he fights back everyone will say, Nico's done it again, remember Monaco and Spa

Fernando Alonso has refused to rule out leaving Ferrari before the end of his contract, which runs until 2016.
The double world champion is a target of McLaren, who want him to lead their team into their new engine partnership with Honda from 2015.
Alonso was asked at the Japanese Grand Prix whether he could say definitively that he would not be at McLaren or Red Bull in 2015 or 2016.
"That's a very difficult question to answer," he replied.
"I will do the best for Ferrari."

Red Bull insiders say they are not interested in signing him, preferring to pick any new drivers from their development programme, which delivered both Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo.
When it was put to Alonso that the rumours of him leaving Ferrari had intensified, he seemed to imply that his future depended on a decision by the team, not himself.
"If they are intensified, I don't know the reason and cannot imagine the reason," Alonso said.
"I always put the interest of the team and the interest of the tifosi (fans) - this big brand Ferrari that is bigger than all of us - in front of my own interest.
"So if there is something to talk about in the future and something better for Ferrari, I will do whatever."


Asked why he would not say definitively that he was staying at Ferrari in 2015, Alonso said: "I live for my job. I prepare my job from 1 January to 31 December. It is no different here. It is more special here because it is a different team, the best team in the world.
"I have been in here five years giving everything on the track and the numbers speak for themselves.
"Outside the track - sometimes it is public, sometimes not - but my priority is always the best interest of Ferrari.
"I am not living out of the world and I am aware of all the rumours that come out. It is not helping.
"We are in the middle of a fight with Williams for third place in the constructors' championship. It is not easy and this is the first priority for me now - at the track, help the team.
"And the second priority will be my future if there is anything to talk about because there is no news from last year, from this year, from July, September, now we are in October and there is no news but there are many rumours, so we see."

Well, well, the plot thickens

Race may not go ahead, there's a typhoon threat
