Pre China

If sport was predictable we wouldn't care so passionately about it. Considering the start we had to the season, at least one championship should be sown up by now. But of course it isn't predictable so here we are with 3 races to go and it's all to play for. From the depths of despair with Ferrari overtaking us in the constructor's championship at Monza, to the joy of a Renault 1-2 in qualifying in China (ITV are rubbish for not showing it live!!!). Again if sport was predictable we would expect a Renault 1-2 in the race and I wouldn't have to set my alarm for an early start - as it is, I will be nervously pacing in front of the TV. Isn't sport fantastic!

Post Monza

Another contraversial weekend, with Fernando unfairly penalised after qualifying (everyone except the red team, the 3 stewards and the FIA say so :-). 3 races to go and we've lost major ground to the red cars. I still believe we will win the drivers championship. We need to go all out now to achieve this. From an IT perspective the major changes we've made for the test team have gone well mostly (a few issues remain) and we're on course for the improvements we wanted to make
