2006 Malaysian Grand Prix - Race 2/18

Tax Evader · 18 Mar 2006 at 06:19

They've just been commenting MS is out :confused:

I thought he was just in?

Flibster · 18 Mar 2006 at 06:22

He is - just.

If he goes out again or not is another matter

Anyway - track open for session 2

Flibster · 18 Mar 2006 at 06:26

Schumacher, Massa, Webber, Rosberg and Button still to go out.

R.Schumacher has a engine failure on the main straight.

Now...will he start right from the back now? I have no idea...

rpstewart · 18 Mar 2006 at 06:26

Ralf looks to have put in a quick one by activating the afterburner

Shame the engine's toast.

Stormrider · 18 Mar 2006 at 06:27

another engine bites the dust - how many more to go then?

Flibster · 18 Mar 2006 at 06:29

Riiiiggghht...

Got the rules printed out here...

Ralf will stop right from the back of the grid as his engine is going to be changed after qualifying.

7 mins remaining.

Raikkonen
Montoya
R.Schumacher
Coulthard
Heidfeld
Fisichella
Trulli
Klien
Barrichello
Alonso
Villeneuve
M.Schumacher - no time set
Webber - no time set
Rosberg - no time set
Button - no time set
Massa - no time set

Wow that Williams is quick!!!

Not bad for a privateer.

Was thinking exactly that..

That is a seriously quick car...although the Cosworth engine helps a lot.

rpstewart · 18 Mar 2006 at 06:36

Agreed, would be a shame if they went with Toyotas next year. They really need a Hyundai or someone to come along and rebadge the Cossie.

It would certainly be a cheap way into F1 for Hyundai

Flibster · 18 Mar 2006 at 06:41

Track is now open for the 15min trundle and 5 min sprint

All bar R.schumacher on track. Ralfi's Toyota is on the grass smoking somewhat heavilly.

rpstewart · 18 Mar 2006 at 06:46

Shame about Reubens - he's spent six years learning how to drive someone else's car and now he's been given one which actually suits him but he's struggling to drive it

Flibster · 18 Mar 2006 at 06:49

They're now trundeling around at times between 1:36.6 and 1:40.1

God this session is dull...

Drivers now pitting and going to start blasting it...

Flibster · 18 Mar 2006 at 07:00

8 cars on track.

Klien has stuck it into the pits and is going to stay there - if he was going to start 9/10th then there's no point.

That Williams is fantastic.

They could be running a bit lighter than the otehr around them but that is frankly astounding. I knew they were going agressive this race but.... :eek:

Flibster · 18 Mar 2006 at 07:00

Session closed - laps can be completed though.

rpstewart · 18 Mar 2006 at 07:02

Been a long time since Williams have locked out the second row?

Really good to see them back at the sharp end.

Stormrider · 18 Mar 2006 at 07:02

hmmm - going to be interesting to see what fuel everyones running. Both McLarens and Alonso look heavy.
