As a Ferrari fan, it also looks better for me this weekend and Alonso looks best of the rest ahead of the RBR's and Williams. Raikkonen seems to be a fair way off Alonso's pace. Honest question but do you think this is because Alonso is driving unbelievably well or Raikkonen is slower than he was last year? Because I honestly didnt see Alonso crushing Raikkonen as he has for most of this season.

I never really expect any 'new' driver in a team to beat the driver that has been there for years already in their first year. Maybe in the second year I expect them to at least be on par.

Lewis did

Good to see Charlie Whiting finally clamp down on cars going wide on corners and gaining advantages. He has apparently ruled that anyone who goes 4 wheels off the track at the exit of Turn 8 (2nd to last corner) will have that lap deleted - advantage or no advantage.

Yeah lol I know. I just said I never expect them to. Like I won't think any less of them because they were second to their teammate in their first year, which mclaren did to perez last year. Still miffed about that. I think a second year should be given to drivers, unless the driver makes some astronomically horrible mistakes (like grosjean, I was calling for him to be dropped ASAP in 2012, but he turned out to be good in the end). Let's not even make this about rosberg and hamilton. All I'm saying is I don't think less of drivers who come second in their first year in a new team, based on that fact alone. I think less of them if they make bad decisions or whine a lot or whatever, but not purely because they weren't up to par with their teammate the first year.

Damn, Kvyat. Impressive. Hold onto those times, son.

[LiamCatterson]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL AT THE HOME RACE TOO LOL. What a phale

[Cyril Sneer Racing]

Haha, I'm actually starting to feel bad for him.

I ain't. Then again, I am sadistic

[Hammer278]

If that was a driver mistake, it's the worst choke I've seen from Lewis in his F1 career.

[LiamCatterson]

GREAT ONE FELIPE. YES YES YES OH MAN, SO HAPPY FOR THE GUY.

[Cyril Sneer Racing]

Well this should make for an interesting race. Great work, Kvyat and Williams. And continued great driving from Alonso.
Wonder what happened to Hamilton. Someone said car faillure.

[LiamCatterson]

So freakin happy man...I have supported Felipe for a long time...This makes me cry happy tears

He's not giving much away except that he's not too happy.

"Felipe Massa, who will start on pole in tomorrow's race: "I am so happy with what has happened today, with us, our team, it was such a great moment. It is a long time since I last had a pole position so for sure we need to concentrate on the race tomorrow. It is a great moment and I am in the best place to be - first place. After a long time, I hope this is just the beginning of great possibilities. I hope to be in this position again."
"Williams are back to the top, they are back to fight. I am pleased for me and the team as well."

[stonemonkey]

Haha, dig from Rosberg about Lewis ruining his final lap.
