im glad to see some diversity at the front, raikkonen continues his dismal season, pulling off before he starts his hotlap for qualifying, whats wrong with mclaren!!?! looking forward to the race tomorrow :D

Goos to see someone else that MS sitting at the pole! Not specially a BAR fan but no one can deny what a huge difference they have made this year. Hope to see Montoya do well in the race though. And Raikkonen, well that´s just sad I think he´s a good driver but with one shity car.

well finally someone did the pole instead of the meister michael schumacher (although it was cause a mistake of him), i just hope the race is great and more entertaining than the others...

Looks good. It better be a good race. But rember that Schumaher lost tons of speeds with that mistake he made and he still got second place :wink:

schumi will still be the man to beat tomorrow IMO, but jenson now has a very real chance at winning his first GP! :D

[kteo2003]

i don't think think that jenson will win the gran prix tommorow because he will have at his back michael who will push right from the start and because the engine of honda doesn't have as much power as ferrari......but we will have to wait and see...

Good job Jensen... but if Schumi wouldn't have messed up at the chicane, things would have been different considering he was 0.2s quicker on split 2. Its going to be an interesting race tomorrow! Can't wait!

Norbert Haug: "We will change Kimi's engine after qualifying because we found a leakage in an exhaust valve seatring. As a consequence Kimi has to start from the back of the grid."

I don't think changing the engine will help, what they need is to change the entire car LOL

[yg60m]

Even if he says the opposite, if he had not make this mistake MS would be on pole and i think he will win tomorrow.

LOL, i used to like McLaren but ... they suck :(

I will offer my Audi road car's engine for use by Kimi - i am sure it will at least last the race

On Speed they mentioned that the Honda was pushing out 920 bhp - :shock: -> Seems pretty powerful to me. I don't think there is much in it between the Ferrari and BAR - the top speed of the BAR (with Sato) was 313 kph v/s 314 kph for Ferrari (Rubens).

What could let Jenson down is some foul up at the pits. The last couple of races they have been having some incident or the other causing them to lose a couple of seconds during the race. I hope this doesn't happen.

I hope the top 3 make it thru the first corner - I want a battle to last all race...

BAR has made tremendous strides in this year ans especially these past 3 weeks, it is going to be a very exciting race tomorrow. I really feel sorry for Raikkonen as he is probably the best driver out there besides Schumacher, if he had a car that could complete more than 10 laps, he would be challenging for the win, it is going to be very interesting what is going to happen if Schume wins his 7th titile this year, as the head of Ferrari has said that he would like to have Raikkonen on his team, very interesting indeed and even Schume acknowledges that Kimi is the one to beat as well. Good luck to all, but it would be great to see BAR be on the podium again and I bet that somewhere Villeneuve is asking why me? why me? LOL.
