Can Massa do it in front of his home crowd? Will Hamilton keep a cool head and drive to win the championship, rather than the race? Can he do both? This is Formula One and as we've seen this season, anything can happen.

HaHaHaHa I thought I'd better have a look and see what you picked.
I'm almost ashamed to say I watched your youtube link, and I quite enjoyed it!
Now I can say I like another 2 types of music......
country AND western 
Good luck Al, Papster is feeling the pressure, but he's gone hard considering he started late too. He's done very well to be up there and has made some inspired picks, as has 4x4 with his studied Vettel selections. 8)
Will Massa choke?? 
I guess I'll have an early start to Monday.
Cheers all
Graeme

Thanks Graeme.
I got up early and watched the race, and what an incredible, dramatic finish - the world championship decided on the last couple of corners.
It's still not clear to me why Glock slowed right at the end, but perhaps it was simply that he had run out of grip on the increasingly wet surface. I'd hate to think he did it deliberately.
Regards,
Al

Those quotes say it all I reckon.
Denshi.....the first proud winner, and Papster who was ever hopeful
even though he started the season a bit late.
Its been a bit of fun for Pete & I and to all of you - we've really got a kick out of your humorous and sometimes prophetic postings
Al, rest assured Pete will hand back the trophy soon so that we can add your name to growing list of winners (3 names is a list isn't it??).
Hehehe....the trophy should start to look better as more name plaques
get added to it  and in no way should its quality be compared to the Clarry Costa Memorial Trophy!!
Cheers
