super confident, my setup will be the same as last race as i cant afford to upgrade from Kobayashi to Vettel. But Kobayashi is in good form with Sauber atm so it wont be too bad.Pimpwerx said:
Ferrari looks really strong thou.
For quali I am expecting RBR RBR Ferrari Ferrari and then Mercedes and MCL fighting it out for the third row.
For the race i am expecting a 1-2 RBR and Ferrari and Mcl fighting it out for place 3 and 4
But if it rains my predictions won't be worth anything :lol . The Free practice didn't tell much aside from Ferrari being unusually strong.
/me shrug
I hope so too. Well, before that we have to get through qualifying, Liuzzi bins it after the last turn and hits the pit lane wall, ouch.Pimpwerx said:It's one of those weekends.I hope it translates into another exciting race. PEACE.
Vettel to be on pole, Alonso 2nd methinks. Button to struggle, again.
Alonso breaks into the 1:14 barrier with a 1:14.808, that's pretty nifty. I expect times to tumble though as the track rubbers in. In other news the Hilarious Racing Team are so slow they cannot even beat the lap time set by Liuzzi before he crashed, truly abysmal.
Heh, I spoke to soon, Bruno Senna beats Liuzzi, by .3 of a second. :lol Yamamoto is dog slow though, but of course we all know why he is driving.

Wow! Look at how awful Petrov is. I am glad to be rid of his underperforming ass. I hope Renault swaps him out for next race and gives us all a free shot at easy points. That car should be in Q3 all the time. He's not even getting out of Q1. :lol I'm kinda sad for Kubica because they got him a lapdog, but one with like mange and a bad leg. Flav would never have allowed for that kind of disgrace. Give Chandhok that seat. PEACE.
Something tells me that the only reason he is still driving for Renault is the sponsorship the team has by Lada, because there is no way is he there by merit. In Q1 he was 8 tenths of a second slower than Kubca, which is simply shocking.Pimpwerx said:
BBC F1 thinks that he may be dumped to Virgin next year in a swap deal for Glock, I honestly think that Virgin should look elsewhere.
I expect people to be hitting 1:14.5xx ish at the very least to get pole. I still think Vettel is favourite, but Alonso is looking threatening.Britprog said:
These BBC guys just sat around and bagged on small teams, while Chandhok is standing there. Then at the end they acknowledge that the teams would still be within the 107% rule. It's a slap in the face, because Minardi sometimes didn't make that time. These new teams are doing phenomenally well for no testing. It's kinda insulting to listen to. PEACE.
I agree. In years past we had teams who were involved in F1 for years who were just as slow. In fact in Germany 2005 the Minardis and Jordans were slower comparatively than even the HRT cars during qualifying, I'm sure Eddie would love to be reminded of that.Pimpwerx said:
For being completely new teams these lot aren't that bad, the problem is all the other teams are closer than they have ever been in F1 history, so it makes these guys look bad. 2011 will see Lotus and Virgin at the very least close the gap to the mid-field. If HRT can shake off these money worries (And if the rumoured Toyota deal comes through) then they should close the gap too.
Edit: Where did the BMW Saubers come from, awful a few races ago, now Kobayashi chucks in a 1:15 dead? Nice. Also the Williams showing their strength too. Mercedes are...nowhere? The overlords will not be pleased at their home GP.
Well there goes my prediction of 1:14:5xx being the benchmark, Alonso sets a 1:14.081!!! That's an epic time and surely that cannot be beaten in Q2.
Edit: at least Button looks to be in Q3 this time, although 7tenths behind Alonso. Vettel on a 1:14.333 but is on a faster Sector 1/2 time. Mercedes JUST i Q3 at the current time, 9th for Rosberg, 10th for Schumacher.
Edit edit: Hulkenberg kicks Schumacher out of Q3, 9th for the other German.

Well, it describes his commentary, "just not good enough", he needs to be kicked out of the BBC right now. Listening to him is painful at times, and those time sare becoming more and more frequent.Juicy Bob said:

Legard describing Hulkenberg's only lap as his "personal best", somebody tell him how the F1 timing system works, the idiot clearly hasn't a clue what he is on about.
Button with a mighty Sector 2 time? His S1 was a bit rubbish though...hmm. Vettel pole! Alonso...just 2nd, 2 thousandths of a second. Vettel gets away with blatant pole theft! Massa 3rd, Webber 4th but is his car broken? Button 5th, finally out-qualifying Hamilton!

Well well well, tomorrow will be fun, although I'm not able to watch the race as I'll be at the Farnbrough Air show so I have to make sure I don't spoil the result. Alonso vs Vettel first corner..should be epic.
Not bad for a number 2...oh wait.Juicy Bob said:
Ferrari is back my ass, the F10 is the best Ferrari car since 2004, only stupid moves by Alonso and bad luck with some SC has made them look like shit, only in Turkey looked like Ferrari got something wrong, the rest of the year they have been one of the top two cars in every circuit.
