Why are they hating? they wont say that to his face though would they?

This weekend will see an action packed drive from the F1 drivers with the Brazilian grand prix being the last of the season.
The current leader of the table Hamilton with 94 points believes that Felipe Massa lying in second place with 87 points could be feeling the pressure more than him with the last race of the season being in his home country of Brazil.
McLaren star Hamilton travels to Sao Paulo’s circuit holding the seven-point advantage in the Drivers’ Championship after a prevailing show at Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix.
Sundays Chinese Grand Prix means that a fifth-place or lower finish for Hamilton in Brazil will guarantee him a place in the record books as Formula One’s youngest ever World Champion.
This will cause second place Massa fighting against the odds as he aims to be the first Brazilian World Champion since 1991.
Both teams McLaren and Ferrari have some huge decisions to make this weekend as only of the teams can win.
Things they will be considering includes choice of tyres the right tyre choice always helps a driver even in modern day driving.
The grip is essential and the speeds and corners the F1 drivers take only the best tyres will do.

Claims are that Uefa has temporarily lifted the two-game Champions League ban given to Atletico Madrid.
Personally i think it is a joke they put these bans and procedures in for a purpose and then they go
and lift them before they have even been put into action whats the point?
The so called European governing body penalised Atl Madrid for the crowd trouble in their UEFA Champions League outing against Marseille at the beginning of october
The result of this concluded in a fined of £120,000 plus a bann from playing their next two European games at home, the first of which is against Liverpool next Wednesday.
Uefa announced they are considering the decision after an appeal of short notice ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Spain.

Who seen this weekends grand prix? Well I did andwhat a load of excitement that brought. It had everything from crashes, retirements, spins and loads of overtaking.
Well for Lewis Hamilton it was a weekend for him to for get having gained pole position in the qualifying laps with a great run.
But all this great work was undone when the McLaren driver was battling for fifth place with Ferrari driver Massa when he attempted an overtaking manoeuvre at turn 11 on the second lap of the race.
Massa went over the left-hand kerbing of the chicane exit before rejoining the track in which he collided with Hamilton. This collision spun Hamilton who then fell to the back of the field.
The Englishman eventually finished 12th scoring no points were as Massa finished 7th picking up 1 point and cutting Hamilton’s Championship lead to five points.
Its all to play for know!!!

Well I fink im going to ask the question so many are thinking and that is? Are we going to be in for an exciting game today?
I mean come on the game against Croatia was thrilling to watch and was the sort of performance we all ways want to see our country perform but that aint always the case as we all know.
It has been stated that Capello’s squad are in for a warm Wembley welcome when they tackle Kazakhstan in their World Cup qualifier.
We all hope that the boys give us something interesting to watch and talk about on our Saturday evening and I don’t mean negative talk either I at least want to see 4 goals and a clean sheet would be nice even if we are with out Terry we have enough cover with Wes Brown Matthew Upson and Joleon Lescott.

Yes that is I what I said people dormant I mean were exactly has Vitali Klitschko been hiding for all these years?
Well the former world heavyweight champion has come out of semi-retirement to try and claim the WBC belt from current champion Samuel Peter and insists that he will be as good as he ever was when he steps into the ring for the first time in four years on Saturday night.
We have not seen the big man in action since 2004 with his victory over Britain’s Danny Williams back in December.
A big part to why we have not seen him is due to a knee injury which has kept him out of action but has just come through a grueling 10 week training regime and the 37-year-old is ready for action
His opponent Peter, nicknamed the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’, has already fought this year, with a victory over Russian Oleg Maskaev.
Peter has already tasted defeat from Vitali’s younger brother, Wladimir Klitschko - the current IBF, WBO and IBO champion.
Now the other sibling intends to end Peter’s title run and make sure the Klitschko family have their hands of all four of the titles.
With a Klitscko win this would make history with two brothers as world heavyweight champions has never been done before.
