McLaren seem to have something different going on around the radiator area

very strange, how can they get away with that much less cooling at one side? the visible outlet is much smaller too

Hmm its seems like the track is going in a clockwise direction so most of the air will be rushing at the outside which is the big one on the left.

I suppose it depends what is on each side also. Perhaps the radiator is on one side and the Oil cooler is on the other side. I would not of thought that the fact that the track is clockwise would not make that much difference. TBH I am suprised that each side is different. as I would of thought that the cars down force would be unequal. But then again I am sure the mega brains in the Aero departments are far better at thing like that than me.

An interesting qualifying session indeed. I was not surprised to see McLaren out pace Ferrari given that Silverstone does feature some areas where good mechanical grip is needed and McLaren's ferocious development pace. The MP4-23 look bolted to track in all sectors of the circuit. The Ferrari, however, looked a bit of a handful, with particularly bad power oversteer. I think Raikkonen will have a fair bit of fuel in his car, but I still think the McLarens would be faster even if that were not the case. Massa made a mistake and his afternoon was topped off with a wheel not problem. Again, not ideal, but the McLarens would still be faster than him, for Massa has been off the circuit more than on it this weekend. Hamilton didn't live up to expectations once again this weekend. Yes, the conditions what with the wind etc. were tricky, but everybody had to deal with them, and, after his mistake, he still had another go in which to set a good lap - and didn't. I would also like to hear why he did not dive into the pits after his fouled lap; he wasted a lap of fuel, which could be critical in the race. I'm surprised that ITV were so surprised by Kovalainen's great performance. He's shown good pace all season, his mediocre results being mainly down to stuff beyond his control and he did look very quick in last week's testing and practice this weekend. I think McLaren are the favourites to win the race tomorrow, but Ferrari are still in it; Raikkonen is carrying some fuel and the Ferrari's pretty kind on its tyres.

Congratulations to Webber today. I think he did a great job. We didn't see too much from the Renaults, but they did pretty well to qualify where they did: Alonso 6th and Piquet 7th. Vettel did well in the Toro Rosso, coming 8th, which again shows that he's getting the hang of Formula One and is really starting to outclass Bourdais. Interestingly, Heidfeld out qualified Kubica: , although Kubica did have a puncture or something. Finally, The Williams cars were truly awful today. I feel sorry for Rosberg and Nakajima having to drive those cars for the best part of two hours tomorrow.

Thank's for saving me alot of typing as we agree 100%!! Go Kovi he need's and deserve's a win and once he get's it lookout Lewis dare I say. We all have heard that a driver's first win is the most important one in their carreer because they have finally 'learned how to win' and the mental barrier has been broken through.

Would I like to see a Ferrari win, well yes, but I think I will be happier if Kovi take's the win. Man I cannot wait till tomorrow!!! Oh and
let's hope and pray that Webber get's a podium as that would be awesome to say the least.

I suppose, but maybe he's forgotten by now - been a while

What can I say ? but

If it rains then lets hope if things were to go wrong everywhere that the 2 McLaren's don't finish, especially cute boy Hamilton and that both Ferraris get good point finishes if not win. And then dancing in the rain will be a pleasent experience.

I suppose it depends what is on each side also. Perhaps the radiator is on one side and the Oil cooler is on the other side.

BAR did that in 2003, one side cooled oil the other water.

Yes, and I have to work around that time, so will have to Tivo it and not look at forumula until I've watched the race.
