And the qualify is on! :D
 
Jaime seems to struggle.
 
D'Ambrosio out of the race. he does not have a 107% time in qualy, so will almost surely not race
 
^Depends. The stewards can decide to let him race anyway. If the team can display that D'Ambrosio set competitive times in practice then he will be allowed to race.
 
^^ thats why I said almost surely. not definate, but I'm not sure D'Ambrosio has set a sub 107% time
 
Vettel seal it with 5 minutes to go. Probably.
 
De La Rosa only a few tenths off Kobayashi, I'm happy to be proven wrong! 👍
 
Ferrari looking strong.
 
Vettel.. P1.
Alonso.. P2. (Let Massa have a little joy!)
Massa.. P3.

Very different to my predictions (Except Vettel on pole of course).

One thing as well, how fast do you think that the McLaren boys would've gone on a dry setup?

The colder temperature made it take longer to get heat in the tires.

Can anyone confirm Webber's KERS is working?

I was thinking the same; may have to pick a Ferrari in the Fantasy F1 thread:)
 
Dunno, we don't know if Ferrari and Red Bull also decided to go the wet setup route as well.
 
Kobayashi the drift king :)
Him and Hamilton are the only two giving us entertainment!

Ferrari looked very strong here, i actually thought Mclaren had this one in the bag because their car is usually very strong here.
Would also like to see Vettel in the same car against Alonso or Hamilton to see what he really goes for. Personally i think alot of the speed is the car which is superior.
 
Here is the weather forecast for a nearby (just East of the circuit) airport:

Cloudy with sunny periods and 60 percent chance of showers. High 21.

And HRT thrashes Virgin!!! Looks like their new EBD is really, really turning things around for them.

Meanwhile, Vettel takes pole again, but i'm expecting Alonso to take him into turn 1, and Massa might later on.
 
Interesting quali

That was a close call earlier on that near kiss to the wall
 
I'm hoping for some rain tomorrow, time to shake things up a bit :lol:

Nice powerslide by Kobayashi by the way.

3rd edit: D'Ambrosio is allowed to start tomorrow.

You must be watching a delayed broadcast.

SpeedTV didn't show a live broadcast. It was off by 30mins I believe.

It's good to see Massa back at the top, hopefully it follows through to the checkers tomorrow.

Apparently the 107% rule only applies to the first GP of the season. D'Ambrosio didn't have speed all weekend.
 
You know, with Alonso's "electric" starts this season, I wonder if he might catch Vettel by turn 1. Also, Vettel's KERS might go wrong, giving Alonso and Massa a MUCH better start.
 
But of course, I am always hoping for McLaren to win, not Ferrari.

And I really HATE Red Bull.
 
RBR have admitted to having KERS issues this weekend. It will be interesting to see. Alonso did shoot from a cannon in Spain. Who's to say it won't happen here? Should be good.
 
Did anyone notice that McLaren got something on their empty rear wing space?
 
Really happy to see Massa back in form again! You know the guy is more than capable...but it's really reassuring to see him perform like he should when he's comfortable enough. Alonso may be the better driver (we honestly have nothing to really go in this regard as Massa is/has been all over the grid all season) but this certainly proves that they can be neck and neck. 👍

I'm always pulling for Webber but this just doesn't look like it's his season. At all.

:confused:

They've had Verizon sponsorship on the back of the rear wing for a little while now.
 
I sure hope there is no rain tommorow :sick:

With the dual DRS zones, close qualifying times (the front runners will likely be even closer on race pace), and the nature of this track...we should be in for one helluva cracker tommorow. Possibly the best F1 race I will have witnessed :)
