I think that Red Bull and Ferrari have been sandbagging in the FP sessions; disappointing for McLaren; Jenson has been slow again; I think he needs to just admit that he is too slow right now; I have heard the excuse of "not enough temperature in the tyres" too many times, Lewis manages to get on fine, stop making excuses, Jenson!

I think it comes down to driving styles again...lewis was properly on it today but wasnt quite enough in the end!..but im confident he and jenson can do well in the race tomorrow!

I hope that you're right; but a poor qualifying performance will translate into a poor race especially this year with Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault being so strong; and of course starting on the fourth row means that statistically a driver is more likely to have an incident with another car & being 7/10s off your team mate in the same car is not good! Jenson hasn't done himself any favours with his poor qualifying performances this season, he could be leading the championship if he had better starting positions!

The track is doing a hall of fame thing. I think all the drivers will do it eventually.

Oh it was someone's previous post. I thought deleting all the photo coding would leave just the photos so no one would get annoyed by having to scroll down for ages but it didn't work.

FIA race stewards in Korea, one of which is 1980 World Champion Alan Jones, have handed Michael Schumacher an official reprimand for holding up Rubens Barrichello through five corners – Turns 10 to 14 - in Q2 qualifying on Saturday.

Williams’ Barrichello, former Ferrari team-mate of Schumacher, was left furious in Q2 as he was held up by the Mercedes when winding up for a flying lap.

After hearing opinions from both drivers plus senior team representatives, the stewards decided that a reprimand would suffice for the 7-time World Champion.

‘The stewards note that, irrespective of the team (Mercedes)’s opinion that car 9 (Barrichello) was not on a “fast lap”, it is ultimately the driver’s responsibility to be conscious of closing cars via the use of mirrors and blue flags/lights,’ reads an additional note on the bottom of the stewards’ report.

Imagine the crying from Rubens if he was driving 20+yrs ago! Seems he has a vendetta with Shumi for the years he was asked to move over for the FASTER driver.

Don't worry Seb, if Mark get's ahead we can arrange a little "problem" for him
