http://www.formula1.com/news/headlin...0/9/11257.html - Pedro De La Rosa replaced by Nick Heidfeld. Looks like Sauber have the upper hand with tyres!

Singapore is very likely to be a wet race. http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/89, weather likely to stay.

That could make things interesting then ... well i hope so

Remember in China, Red Bull were terrible in the wet.

Lets hope for a similar result then & a good 1-2 for McLaren

Ugh, Singapore? Only circuit duller is Valencia.

[Ajthedragon]

Makes for some good crashes though.

Have we had silverstone yet?

Have we had silverstone yet?

Yep was 11th July & Mark Webber won, Lewis Hamilton came 2nd, Nico Rosberg 3rd & Jenson Button 4th.

Just done myself some research on the current points system and the points system from last year and i'd thought i would show you my findings...
Last year / This Year

Webber 187 / Hamilton 75
Hamilton 182 / Webber 74
Alonso 166 / Alonso 67
Button 165 / Button 67
Vettel 163 / Vettel 66
Massa124 / Massa50
Rosberg 112 / Rosberg 50
Kubica 108 / Kubica 42

So, Hamilton would be leading by 1 point and it would still be close for the other positions but technically be further behind seen as now 25 points is awarded for a win and 10 for last year - so it shows me that its a lot better for the championship with this years points system.

Thoughts? Which points system do you prefer?
