(Don't) lie to me

So, still another half an hour until the second practise. And then another day until qualifying and two until the race. This weekend is going to kill me.

Brazil 2009 - Friday

So, the first two practice sessions of this very special weekend are over and things don't look too bad. A 7th place - behind Vettel and Rubens - and a 5th place - behind Rubens but ahead of Vettel.
Both sessions pretty much painted the same picture: Jenson was quick on the prime tyres. Quickest even for quite a while during 2nd practice. So things look really good in that respect. It's the option tyres that worry me. He seems to struggle with them. I didn't see him drive a single lap on the supposedly quicker options that was anywhere close to his laps on prime tyres. The old temperature problem, I assume.
So no rain and a little warmer for the rest of the weekend would be nice. But I'm sure Jenson will drive another good race regardless of the circumstances. What he really needs is a decent qualifying tomorrow. Looking at the last few races it pretty much comes down to that.

And what I need is to stop thinking 4 and 6 points with one race to go rather than 14 and 16 points with two races to go. This weekend he can only win the championship, not lose it.
