alonso has gone on them too.

and button but i dont think he will set a hot lap.

I think the other teams are just covering all the options...sad day for ferrari though.

Obviously going to be some 1.35.xxx's coming up by RB and McLaren.

lolmassa

On softs and still .3 seconds behind alonso?

CaptainRAVE · 14 Apr 2012 at 07:23

Omg, shut up eddy.

Well, if it was that simple eddy they would do it.

Doesn't stop him qualifying for pole. With DRS on this track, 5 places is nothing if he can stay out of trouble.

This is why I believe Hamilton is favourite to win this race. Least of all because this is one of his (if not the_ strongest tracks in the calender.

Yay, live qualifying again

Late to the party

Morning

As I was stupid and forgot to put the espresso machine on, I'm having some tea as the kettle is quicker to warm up.

It is excellent loose tea from Waterloo Tea though, and builders tea strong too.

My point being i had no idea alonso was on softs? Massa was still way behind him when he wasn't anyway.

No big shocks in Q1 (except the need for soft tyres from some of the bigger teams).

Looks like Q2 will be close, I'm expecting at least one shock departure at this stage.

Omg, merc one two.

No real surprise, the super drs is effective on this track in qualifying, they have a good shot at pole.

Though it's not looking that overpowered a feature in general

They seem to have some pace. I reckon Hamilton will beat them to pole, with the two Mercedes just behind...shame they don't have much race pace.
