McLaren are seriously leading all the way, but there’s still room for others to shine, as Vettel, Trulli and Alonso have proven. Keep an eye on Raikkonen and Kubica though.

Free Practice 3

Many of the drivers struggled to find grip today, whether because of the cooler climates, or their tyres graining. Kovalainen went straight to the top of the timesheets, whilst Sutil headed for the gravel.

Qualifying

No rain, despite the forecasts, and we saw Raikkonen struggling whilst Massa skipped into second with ease. Trulli and Alonso put in fine performances, but it was all about Hamilton on pole position.

Conclusions

Several of our drivers believe they may have been held up in traffic, maybe even impeded, but so far there have been no penalties handed out. Barrichello is hoping he can repeat his feat from 2000, 18th to 1st in the race. We’ll have to wait and see.

With 2007 almost behind us, we’ve put together some clips covering our last 12 months in video podcast land. Whilst the quality of the first videos are frankly abysmal, it’s fun to have a brief look over our shoulders. If we can improve as much again in the next 365 days, we’ll be mighty happy.

Kudos also goes to PodShow, for getting the Manic Street Preachers onto the Podsafe Music Network, so that we can play them. Turn this one up loud!

Music played: Manic Street Preachers, Autumn Song

Music comes from music.podshow.com, with special thanks going to Allianz SE, Brembo, Toyota Motorsports GmbH, Honda Racing F1, ING Group, Red Bull Racing and RTV GmbH for the use of their video footage.

2008 is fast approaching, but before we jump head first into next season, we’ve taken a couple of minutes to look back over the things we’ve said during the past 12 months.

Hopefully you’ll join us as we fire up the flux capacitor, pull the gullwing doors and scream to 88mph in search of Sidepodcast episodes lost in the archives. Marty McFly could not hold a candle to our ‘07 review… The tunes are pretty hot too.
