Come on!!!

Great quali session. had to laugh at Christian horner over the radio to seb "Who needs ride height control?"

Race looks like it could be a wet one, so anything could happen.
Fingers crossed for Seb and Mark to have an awesome race.
 
Hamilton looks like he's dipped his chin in a pot of iron filings.

Awesome stuff at the end from RBR, very funny interview with Vettel in the pre qualifying build up and LOL @ Stefano Domenicali with his "Mama Mia!" comment :D
 
ooohhh and Hamilton gets outqualified by his supposedly worse team mate AGAIN (3rd time in 4 races), let the excuses flow.....:D

does rain dance for the race - otherwise it will be another dull one
 
What happened to the McLaren in Q3?!

Can't really fathom it. Either the softs don't work well for them over that short distance or they made some poor setup decisions just for Q3..

Lewis Hamilton on McLaren's poor showing on Q3: "We were doing so well in practice, Q1 and Q2, then the car started bottoming a lot more in Q3

So let me get this straight they have the car bottoming out on low fuel in Q3? That bodes well for the start of the race :D

Mclaren adjustable damper seems to be working in reverse ;)
 
Hmm I wonder what was wrong with Hamilton and Massa on that Q3, they perhaps could have done better, another impressive show by Rosberg, the car perhaps shouldn't be performing better then McLarens and Massas Ferrari but he pulled it up there.

So far, it's not a bad morning.

wtf, this is my exact morning for GP weekends, except replacing the chemex with an espresso machine and the bolivian with Blawan Java.

Er... if there is little fuel in the car and its bottoming that would suggest its trying to get as low to the tarmac as possible, surely thats a good thing?
:confused:

Or have I misunderstood you?

(not that I am insinuating Mclaren are using an illegal active ride height system of any sort :D)

No I'm saying it's a bit weird that on low tanks the car is bottoming out and they still haven't put the fuel in for the race. You would expect if the car bottomed out in Q3 without a device to raise the car they would have serious issues at the start of the race fully loaded.

Then again it was hamilton saying the car bottomed out and he's not exactly know for his technical ability.
