instead i'll lend a... healing hand 
. It will be an interesting thing to see if Alonso manages to stand on the podium or will Heikki do it. Maybe Jarno can get into that fight 
, but I don't think Kubica can 
. I wonder if Hamilton can get in front of Kubi tomorrow, hope not Anyway, it may be an interesting race 
, or more interesting 
.Denthúl wrote:Maybe Ross Brawn has read my posts and put 95% of their time and resources into the 2009 car...I believe you are correct as that scenario was also mentioned by the SPEED TV commentators. God I hope their '09 package brings them the result's I think their drivers deserve.
...well, I can hope...
McLaren Fan wrote:What happened to Williams? For me, with the possible exception of BMW's woes, was the biggest talking point of the qualifying session, but James Allen and Brundle completely failed to pick up on it, and, afterwards, Jim Ryder and Mark Blundell were having another Hamilton love-in.Nakajima had traffic on his final run in Q1, Rosberg's set-up for qualifying was very much compromised so he can have a good chance in the race tomorrow because he was expecting to start dead last anyway. The "official" team comments seem to speak differently, but apparently Nico told an RTL interviewer afterwards that the car, and its updates were working fine and the car has had race setup all weekend and doesn't make his P15 look bad afterall. To be honest, that's left me a little confused...

The Williams looked impressive going round the circuit. It looks really bolted to the track and its direction change capabilities around the Nurburgring chicane looked good.McLaren Fan wrote:What happened to Williams?

Ohh I'm dying to comment on Luis' "magic drives" when he starts from behind... but its bad enough for you guys with him starting 13 and Heikki 5, that i'll cut you some slack

Denthúl wrote:Actually, McLaren Fan, I consider Piquet's performance today to be a significant improvement. If he keeps focussed in the race tomorrow, he'll have a top ten finish and possibly some points if he's lucky.And Alonso, in the same equipment, has a great chance of podium.
przemo wrote:Kovalainen just got a five places penalty for blocking Webber in quali (linky). McLaren guys are looking to have a terrible weekend. I wonder if that will change their strategy for Lewis somehow.That's harsh. When I saw that incident, Kovalainen was trying to move out of the way but Nakajima prevented him from doing so. Also, Rosberg has the penalty for the same reasons as Hamilton does.
[Edit:]
Here's the current grid, but it also shows Rosberg with 10-place penalty

. Thanks, I was looking for a technical problem, like a gear-box change or something.Kimi has done it! The youngest ever F1 champion. A[…]
