How often have you seen this man smile this year?

It was an exciting qualifying session - will it rain , wont it? The pre-qualifying was quite different with some of the runners intentionally slowing down in their hot lap to be able to run in the first part of the qually session - as they thought it would rain.

Sector by sector times:

My impressions:
Kimi:
- Did a solid job, the car did not swerve at all despite some of the sections (particularly the infield section) being slightly damp. Kimi was behind Barrichello for the first two sectors and made it all up in Sector 3. His pole lap was 3 secs quicker than last years pole
Michael:
- Looked like he was being a little cautious as he spun three times earlier today - including pre-qualifying. Was good throughout
Rubens:
Smooth lap. Was a little slow in sector 3 by his own admission. Outqualified Michael 4 out of 5 times here in Silverstone. Will be strong in the race. My pick for tomorrow's win ....
Jenson:
Looked like he could have nipped past Barrichello (but not Raikkonen)except for the bobble a couple of corners before the end
Baumgartner/Bruni:
Evil handling car - their hands were sawing like mad in the cockpit. Looked they were driving rally cars - such was the amount of input that they were giving
Alonso/Trulli:
Nothing special this time. I ont think they are running on higher fuel either
DC:
Might be running with more fuel than Raikkonen. Did not seem to make any obvious mistakes to me.
Gene:
Bad effort as could be seen by the grimace from Patrick Head after his lap. Was a second slower than Montoya....
Note: I will be adding stuff to my original post if I find something cool
