WTF?! That's exactly what Lauda says! You're saying the same as Lauda. His satement is not incorrect as both drivers have scored a pole this season.

[racechick]

I haven't the energy for this.
That already both had one BEFORE TODAY!

[andrew]

Yes they've both had 1 pole each in their individual Mercedes careers (before today). But in their time together as team mates at Mercedes they've got one pole each. Can't really make this one any clearer......

[racechick]

No . They had one each in their time together at Mercedes before today. Lewis has one and now Nico has back to back poles, he was on pole at the last race. So Nico has two an Lewis has one. Or am I going mad here?

[andrew]

Just checked, <EDITED WB>Nico Rosberg got pole in bahrain. Shows just how much attention I've been paying to qualifying and (what I'm led to believe) is F1 this season.

Cue pointless and unnecessary flaming from usual suspects.

It's a wonder you're still watchin'.

[andrew]

I often think that myself when lap 6 pitstops feel like lap 20.

You're a role model for F1 martyrdom. Any ideas what the 'last straw' would be for you?

On another note, the Mercs as a little less 'ugly' with their new livery. If they'd not announced it it's not like many people would have actually noticed it, but there is more silver, I mean what they actually did is take away some of the teal plus made the tree pointed start much more prominent.

Hard to tell in pictures whether they fiddled around with the silver paint itself.

No idea. The racing is very much watered down from what it used to be. It's all gotten a bit silly really but I'm hoping for good things to come from the new engine reg's in 2014.

I was expecting it to be a bit more like the McLaren silver but the overall shade looks the same, just that there's more of it.

Man I didn't see any difference in the livery...but I didn't look out for it.

Depressing day for them today.

Merc were a shambles. There's nothing else to describe it. McLaren were crap too, but at least they're not the only ones.

His "I've just been overtaken by a Williams" outburst made me chuckle. It's not a bad thing - some of the greats have been overtaken by a Williams. Schumacher, Senna, Prost - a Williams has overtaken them all at some point.

It is a bad thing when neither Williams made it into Q2

I'm trying to cheer folk up here Lew.
