Formula One ( F1 )

.....On the Mercedes note, absolutely gutted that Schumacher couldn't fight for the win, or even a podium. But make no mistake, McLaren are still the team to beat, and I reckon Mercedes will struggle to find another win this season. I'd absolutely love for Schumacher to get a win, but i'm not so sure it'll happen......

I wish this could be true, but Mercedes version of the DRS system is so superior, that the advantage over everyone's elses is quite significant. No-one will be able to copy it, till possibly next season, as its an all-car design, and not an add-on. This, plus their very good engine, that McLaren also uses, is very powerful. Their tyre wear was supposed to be their chink in their armour, but this race showed that they have sorted that out, and now their tyre wear could be better than most competitors.

McLaren will need some major updates to catch up, or keep up. I want Lewis, or Jenson to win (but I am more Grenadian that British, so you'll guess where my allegiance most closely lies).

I predict Schumey winning a few races. I don't see Mercedes easily falling back, now they are ahead. Ross Brawn has worked hard to get them where they are, and it will be one hell of a battle to see who can beat them. I don't mind being wrong on this one - if fact I am hoping I am.
