For the first time ever I am hoping that it will not rain. The intermediate tires of bridgestone are not as good as Michellins

This is the wrong time for rain...

If it dries until tomorrow, then MS may have a chance. If not....

Damn, Schumacher is behind Alonso, with Massa way back. Still, anything can happen.

Superb effort by Michael - he was the only Bridgestone runner to make it to Q3 in a tyre that was quite inferior to the Michelin.

lets see what happens in about 9 or 10 hours
