Wow mclaren have the pace here.

DBT85 · 9 Apr 2011 at 09:59

and still p1 after the RBs. How will the second run go I wonder.

Masterdog · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:00

Yup, this definitely seems genuine...RB must be flat out there surely. Might not finish in that order but surely there'll be more of a competition than Oz.

DBT85 · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:01

Apparently McLaren have all the purples. You would have imagined RB getting at least one if they were fast enough.

Glaucus · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:01

If rbr are running kers. This time, is the lost time due to that rather than anything mclaren are doing.

You saying that without the kers they would be faster? They tested it in practise so I cannot believe that they would run it if it wasn't faster for them.

30 secs to go and only 4 cars have set a lap!

Can we please see a Red Bull onboard?

Its not as simple as that, Red bull tactically and those kinds of decisions are very good. If the car is faster with kers they use kers, different races will do better with different setups, Mclaren also had a "newer" car in Australia WAY newer than RB so they had more to learn/gain I would think.

Masterdog · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:05

Here you go

Flibster · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:05

Top 4 all doing almost identical S1 times and S2 times.

Masterdog · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:05

Nuts. Ah well.

drunkenmaster · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:06

Damn, but wow, closest pole in ages,Button still slower

EDIT:_ Still think that give advantage in the race to Hamilton, he simply seems the best at overtaking, following and putting in great lap after great lap right on the edge. HOpefully Mclowns won't screw up every pitstop this time around, could be in for the closest race in ages.

Fr0dders · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:06

Bugger :/

DBT85 · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:06

Vettel, Hamilton, Webber, Button.

With them being that close DRS is gonig to be VERY interesting this weekend!

Flibster · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:06

Oooooof.

Vettel just sniffs it.

Masterdog · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:06

Red Bull definitely going to need KERS this weekend, no surprise they're running it.

Glaucus · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:07

Great lap, but at least mclaren are matching them, at least on this track.

CaptainRAVE · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:07

Very close! Good to see McLaren in the running. McLaren and RBR are in a league of their own.

deuse · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:07

It's going to be a great race..I can't wait

cravin penut · 9 Apr 2011 at 10:07

that was close!
