I'm also surprised by today's qualifying results! I expected Ferrari to dominate especially in this track. Perhaps they're expecting rain tomorrow so the team had to come up with some strategy???

I don't think a 9th place on grid is really where Ferrari indented to be. Massa is behind because he didn't have good luck with his pit stop when mechanics could not remove front right wheel. So he didn't have enough time for a second run and fight for first of second row on grid. But I think he should finish within the point zone tomorrow, and I hope some people in front end up retiring from the race (how about some cool accidents?), giving him a better chance to win.

I am stuck in the US aswell, it is going to be shown on FOX which does not show it live
I believe it is some sort of adjustment for the brakes. I am not sure if it is a brake bias adjustment or not, but I think I remember it being commented on last season because Raikkonen was messing with that lever just before his crash in Italy.

That's quite some time difference between the first 10 cars.

Interesting indeed. Kubica and Massa showed some good pace in various stages in the wet in Monaco, maybe we can expect a good charge from them.

Aaaaaaand you jinxed them. LOL

What an awesome race.. Well if you can call it that. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!
Gotta feel for Ferrari, and Heiki, and Kubica. Very interesting result.

Gotta give props to Heidfeld too, for making two passing moves, that took two cars each time.. Very cool to watch!
Rubens was great to listen to as well in the press conference, so humble, and good to see his intense passion for the sport.

There you go. I hope all you Lewis hatters sit on a very big cactus! Bad mouthing a stunning driver like him self.... your a disgrace to motor sports and motor sport enthusiasts. All the drivers today where spectacular... Kimi, Massa, Rubens and Webber, but Lewis was that little but better.

Can't wait for the next race!

Pok.
