my main watching point from now on is if renault can beat toyota!!

time sheets are looking good, but then honda is up there so as always they mean almost nothing!

may have to miss quali tomorrow, hopefully computer will record it if i do!

Nice lap by Jenson, how did he do it in a Honda? I didn't see free practices again, they just didn't show them. Hopefully I can watch FP3 at least.

[Kimi_Hamilton]

I'm predicting Kimi back on form to get pole

Gah, it's absolutely impossible to read anything from the practice times!

Still, qualifying is on now so who cares.

[FerrariFan63]

There's nobody in the chatroom

I'm not sure we know the true order even now. Looks like the track improved a lot right at the end. Did Hamilton use soft tyres for his lap?

[FerrariFan63]

James Allen commenting on Massa's pole lap, where he demoted Hamilton to second.

Can he do it? NOOOOOOO he can't. ... oh, yes he can.

He was so pumped up with pro-Hamilton sentiment that he didn't even check Massa's time/place.

[bud]

Massa on pole! he is driving superbly of late, he is forcing me to change my opinion on him and of his consistency! he is becoming Massa the Man

Lewis P2
Kube P3
Kimi P4
Heikki P5
Vettel
Trulli
Heidfeld
Rosberg
Bordais

and what about the Torro Rosso compared to the RBR team, maybe Vettel should stay put

[bud]

Ferrari fan we know James Allen is pro Hamilton that isnt going to change for the rest of the season but thanks for the heads up for those who were not aware

[przemo]

A little hectic Q1, but in the end everything seems normal. Ok, Bourdais first time in Q3 and Heidfeld easily finishing Q2 in third place was a surprise
This was the first time I've seen the track "live" and I liked it, pretty tight and fast. Can't wait for the race.

[Mikep99]

Good job Massa he seems to be a new man of late.
I think Hammy is going to go all out at the start.
Payback time, he was not impressed last outing ......... But it could end up in tears if ego rules head.

Should be a good race though.

[Denthúl]

Definitely one of the more interesting qualifying sessions. For a moment, I thought Vettel might pull something out of the bag. I was quite impressed that Kubica got up to third and, crucially for the team, that Heidfeld made it in to the top ten. Quite disappointed that Barrichello could only get 19th, and that the Force India seamless-shift gearbox didn't do too much for them.

Great job by Massa! Superb last min lap, that was so Hamilton-esque hehe

And judging by Q seems like the race should be pretty unpredictable and exciting with many guys/teams showing very good pace.

Lewis is probably lighter and will def try to take on Massa on the start so T1 will be a nail bitter...

Now Bud, could you please enlighten Mclaren Fan a bit He's still unclear on who's da man

ITV claimed that Hamilton had the fuel hose on for a long time and is heavy. But, they would, wouldn't they.

How much more is Raikkonen being paid than Massa?
