Webber and he hasn't got a clean track.

Danthus · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:19

I have been listening to the engines, apart from the Renault the all sound "normal".

Freakbro · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:19

Not much between the top 17 in this Q1!

massa going for softs, strange choice.

Indeed for the first session.

utajoker · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:22

webber not looking that great. scraping through by 3 tenths.

Emlyn_Dewar · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:23

Oops, bit hasty there Trulli...

One thing I've wondered about the "soft" tyres and if they are used for a quali attempt.
Would they be worth going out for another attempt in the next qualifying session on these tyres or would they have completely lost their edge?

utajoker · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:26

didnt know lotus arnt running kers. how much a lap does that give you?

Glaucus · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:29

About 4tenths.

Emlyn_Dewar · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:29

Ah well, that answers my question... Good old Ted Kravitz!
I did think it would be a bit of a waste to not attempt another run on them.

Freakbro · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:32

Job done for Vettel in Q2

Emlyn_Dewar · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:34

They should red flag rather than waste time...

Edit: Wasted a good amount of time before they decided that.

Dr Who · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:34

Maldonado won't be popular later!

Twin monitors and live streaming on BBC is awesome for F1 Q and MotoGP

Glaucus · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:34

Ha-ha that reg flag waving girl, couldn't look more bored.

utajoker · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:36

just as he lifts that car up, the cars are a lot more balanced now, i remember were a marshall used to sit on the nose as they craned them off to keep them level.

She could if she was having a conversation with Martin Brundle

Glaucus · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:37

Good god how dumb are you. It can't be just a fuel problem. They can't get it into neutral by either method.

Don't BBC do any sort of driver cam for qualifying?

Am using TV catchup for the streaming....for some reason the BBC web feed is about 5 secs behind TV catchup :confused:

Dr Who · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:42

God Martin Brundle is boring, my greatest memory will be putting him into the windscreen of a Ford Sierra at Snetterton under braking as he refused to wear a seatbelt

knip · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:44

Ironical?

Did he just make up a word? :confused:

Emlyn_Dewar · 25 Jun 2011 at 13:45

Ugh, double DRS zone for the race? So so stupid...
Canada showed us how DRS shouldn't be done imo. Was absolutely no need for the double zone, all it did is not allow passed drivers to try and get the position back.

I'd rather watch a procession than have a double DRS zone.
