I'm actually impressed that HRT are able to get that close to the other new teams considering the difference in preparation time.

They really need to bring back the 107% rule. I know it was discussed in the other thread, but this is pretty unsafe if they are 20kph slower in the middle section.

I swear the constant rule changes and janky ass new rules in F1 really makes you scratch your head. They are confusing and stupid. Top ten have to use qualifying tires but all others can use fresh tires? Why? No more refueling during races? Why the hell not?

Also, Bahrain is such an ugly track to have a season opener on.

And please surprise us PD with 2010 F1 cars in GT5.

Might just be how wide the track is but you can really feel the cars accelerating slower, shaking all over the place due to weight, completely different beasts.

Getting sick of the ads on Australian TV coverage and the season has barely started. They use the BBC commentary so why not just leave it on you daft pricks?

Anyone saw which tires Alonso used on his last run?

If he wasn't using the harder tyres he was doing it wrong.

Anyway, Q2 will see the cars FINALLY hit 1:53, and will reveal just who is fast, and who isn't. Epic, this session will be it.

Maybe they heard you! They are so irritating though. They are paying for the damn coverage, use the commentary.

:lol fuck me the onboard with Vettel and those bumps.

Yep, that new section will be MURDER on the tyres, especially to the harsher drivers.

Vettel sets a 1:54.035, showing how Q1 analysis was totally useless. Alonso sets a 1:54.265

The last gasp showdown in Q2 is about to begin. Will the likes of Schumacher, Barrichello and Button make it to Q3? Epic.

The teams all left it to the last possible second to let the drivers out, a return to the 1 hour quali styles?

I'm suprised at the McLaren. It seems it doesn't have the one lap qualifying pace of the other teams.

Woah, that was close.

Vettel finally proves that I was right in calling 1:53s for this session with a 1:53.883, Button scrapes into the top 10 too.

The likes of Barrichello, Liuzzi, Hulkenberg, De La Rosa, Buemi, Kobayashi and Petrov all bow out of Q2. Q3 next. Sutil, Kubica and Vettel stars of the show so far, outperforming their team mates by a good margin.

Surprised Alonso couldn't match his time from earlier this morning, because he even made a small mistake on that lap.

I'd be worried if Kimi is seen in the pits. He'll take Sutil out somehow.

So, in true idiot style that I am known for here, here is my expectations for Qualifying today:
I'm calling Webber for pole, Alonso 2nd, Vettel 3rd, Hamilton 4th, Schumacher 5th, Massa 6th Button 7th, Rosberg 8th. Trulli or Glock to be fastest of the "newbies".

My Twitter, please follow as I will be conducting a blow-by-blow commentary for as many sessions (Practice, Quali and races) as possible: http://twitter.com/StopItRawr

Quoted to see how close I was pre-Q3.... and to push my twitter again as I am a complete tart :D

I think I may have got the wrong RBR car as 1st going by Q2, but then...you never know.

Wait, the cars are back to 1:55s? Wrong tyres or just...conservation qualifying? This could be huge.

Apparently a tactic is to now even bother with Q3 and get a choice of tyres for the race? That loophole needs to be closed right now, we need to see these cars, this is very bad from a fans POV.

Jenson Button is very slow too, weird. Lap aborted.

Yeah, not a fan of the tyre rule. The new timing as pretty average as well.
