hahahahha I know....
*shaking head*
and I mean every word of that 
hahahaha
Here's a profile of the three drivers in the running for the title:
Blackhammer, Fernandago the Whine, and Poface...finding it hard to wait for this one...
This is probably easier to follow than the other permutation list above:
For Alonso to become champion:
Alonso first; Hamilton third or lower
or Alonso second; Hamilton sixth or lower
or Alonso third; Hamilton eighth or lower; Raikkonen second or lower
or Alonso fourth; Hamilton out of the points; Raikkonen third or lower
For Hamilton to become champion:
Hamilton first or second
or Hamilton third, fourth or fifth; Alonso second or lower
or Hamilton sixth or seventh; Alonso third or lower; Raikkonen second or lower
or Hamilton eighth; Alonso fourth or lower; Raikkonen third or lower
or Hamilton out of the points; Alonso fifth or lower; Raikkonen third or lower
For Raikkonen to become champion:
Raikkonen first; Alonso third or lower; Hamilton sixth or lower
or Raikkonen second; Alonso fourth or lower; Hamilton eighth or lower
It was looking promising in P1, but McLaren have come back strong in P2
Waiting for quali at 3am. This is nerve racking!
All of which is idle speculation, so let's throw a more concrete observation into the mix. Hamilton is British. And we British do penalty shoot-out defeats, stoical loss and last-minute collapses better than anyone.
The Stevenage-boy-comes-good-in-his-first-season story is too Hollywood, too much of a romantic ending. Far better for us all to get into work on Monday morning with a rueful smile on our face and a shrug in our shoulders, and say, 'Ah well, there's always next year'.
That's why we'll lose the rugby on Saturday, and that's why Hamilton won't win the championship. Sorry to be negative, but my guts have enough years of Britishness in them to know they're right.
Q3 going on now... Kimi has been leading in Q1 and Q2
But Hamilton has P1 with 5 mins to go
Oh wait, Massa takes P1
GAH!! I can't watch!!
C'mon Kimi!!
Meanwhile, Alonso is 5th - BEHIND Webber
BAH! Hamilton takes Kimi's 2nd place
1. Massa
2. Lewis
3. Kimi
4. Alonso
5. Webby
6. Coulthard
Massa is now the key
And he's declared that he'll do what needs to be done to get Ferrari the Driver's...
hmmmmmm
Fwaaaah!
Massa did help Kimi! He moved across off the start to block Alonso and let Kimi thru.
Lewis messed up and is in 7th place now.
Definitely not the end of the road. Gonna be interesting now!
oh wait... massa didn't let kimi thru...
Well done Kimi...
Well done dek...you kept the faith
what a sporting weekend.... especially if you're a south african & kimi supporter! .... and not so much if you're english
OMG!!!!
I still can't believe it!!! heheheeh
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! hehehehehe
Feel really sorry for Lewis, but hey, Kimi won!!!
Kimi won!
I woke up this morning and I thought I was dreaming! hahahaha
Kimi's also the Fastest of the Fast (like I didn't already know that)
On ya Kimi!
hahahahah
I wish they'd show the awards.... getting the trophy is always so disconnected from winning the Championship
Yeah, especially for those of us who live on the other side of the world to where it's all happening.
Exactly!!
And those of us who have crap local channels which don't cover any real news
Yeah, like 45 people that get killed everyday in Joburg (oops, maybe that is serious)
And those of us who have crap local channels which don't cover any real news
I'll drink to that deezee.
Do 45 people really get killed everyday in Joburg NS1?
@andro Cheers!
And yeah, you're kidding aren't ya Nuc?
Hic...
hehehehheehhe
I'm not sure about the stats for joburg, but here's a graph
This one is in 2001, but I know that the figures were still very similiar in 2005 (leading to controversy about our Head of Police):
Okay, so murders = 15,000 divided by 365
41 a day in South Africa, okay. so 45 is a bit exaggerated, but include attempted murders: 54 a day
Rapes a day: 68, it's not a pretty place.
Wow, I didn't think it'd be more dangerous than Colombia, or Russia. Jamacia seems rather high also, I knew that Jamacia had a high crime rate but didn't realise the high murder rate.
@Nuc. Do you feel unsafe when you go out at night, or don't you go out?
Wow! Yeah! I didn't expect that either!
It's common knowledge that it's unsafe to go out at night. So nobody goes out. Parents are afraid to let their kids walk home or to school, it's just unsafe.
Wow...
It's a hard world down here in SA.
