Why didn't Lewis go out in the final 15 minutes.

[racechick]

Lewis out! I knew it would be bad but not that dismal!! Oh poo!!

[MAD MAX]

His season is just getting worse. Well done McLaren for producing a fantastic car for 2009

Nice one Sebastian, shame Mark didn't join him on the front row

What a great tactical genius Rod Nelson is............. NOT

Was it simply Rosberg underperformed again?

[racechick]

I hope Webbers heavy. He's usually heavier than Vettel.Good position if he is.

Only time will tell when the weights are revealed and then Rosberg says his new favourite catchphrase which is "I am happy with P9, we have a good strategy for the race".

Alonso is being wasted at Renault, he would put Nico's Williams on pole with ease.

YEAH
I was hoping Red Bull could block out the front row, but considering that Webber's probably heavy, like racechick pointed out, they're both in good positions
That was a really good, if nail-biting, qualifying session. I love that the field is so close now.

A rather exciting yet predictable qualifying. Hopefully the result has surely set up "the race of the season so far". (However I worry it'll peter away into a procession).
Vettel deserves alot of credit especially after his problems yesterday. How light he is we'll have to wait and see, but he and Mark Webber look to be just as quick as the Brawns around here.
Alonso was also strong, particularly in Q2 when he dragged the car into the final section. Piquet - if it was brakes then that is a shame, but if he lied and it was just him being s*** welll bye bye.

I had tipped Nakajima to do reasonably well here, but how wrong was I? Has there ever been such a strange driver? One minute he's strong the next he's spinning

Hopefully we can get a good race tomorrow, as much as I'd like Rubens (for the championship perspective) or Webber (for the hell of it) victory, I can see it going to Button. Unless of course Vettel is just as heavy.

DC had been into the RBR garage to talk to some of they guys and hinted that Vettel was a couple of laps lighter than the Brawns.... which isn't too bad for Red Bull, but gives Button an advantage, since I'm sure he'll be able to keep up with SV in the race - both cars have really good pace.

Man the BBC pit walk was soooo scripted. So bad

LOL I do like it compared to the ITV guff, but I find it all a little awkward. And I'm not liking the Eddie / DC thing all that much, though I think Jake does a good job.

I agree the BEEB do really make an effort with F1. I just found it funny when they were walking down and by chance Sam Michael would have a microphone, as would Flavio... and those mics just happened to belong to the BBC... Then Fisi was randomly walking out of the garage at the very same time

Fabulous last lap by Vettel for the pole although I'm kinda sad that I will have to record the race due to work and not watch it live.
