Nope.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Goddamn... 9ms... what a lucky bastard.

 

[MightGoThere]

Well that was fun...

 

[AcridMeat]

Damn you slow ass Button

 

[Stop It]

Damnit, reallly, darn. Vettel pole, AGAIN. This time by only 9 thousandths of a second.

Well, one thing is clear, Button has learned how to qualify, but Vettel still has all the luck. Well done to him, again, but please Button, get ahead on the first corner.

Edit: Massa out qualified Alonso? That'll make the Spaniard mad, heh.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

How lucky was that? HOW LUCKY WAS THAT?!

 

[nny]

Wow, Vettel.

 

[wonderkins]

WOW!

wow, wow, wow, wow.

 

[DrM]

Vettel Pole! Why wasn't Hamilton out earlier?

Another brilliant move by Mclaren Pit wall.

 

[jey_16]

Hamilton is pissed!

Webber.....your a joke

 

[Chris R]

Hammy missed it by like 2 seconds, timer went checkers and then he crossed the line.

Webber to be p13 by the end of t2 tomorrow?

 

[Adamm]

Dammit!

 

[wonderkins]

Another brilliant move by Mclaren Pit wall.

Seriously, the team owns that one; not Lewis.

 

[Luckyman]

What does Webber need to do to get fired? He is trying!

 

[Adamm]

Hamilton does not look happy

 

[Juicy Bob]

McLaren cocking up the basics. Vettel snatching pole. It's almost laughable now.

 

[SunhiLegend]

He looked pissed, I'm confident he would have had pole if he got in another lap with fresh tyres.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Lewis is peeved.

 

[wonderkins]

If I'm Lewis, I take that helmet and ram it in the gut of whichever dimwit cost him a chance at pole.

 

[Shinobi]

Whoever can produce the video that showed WTF happened to Hamilton is going to be riiiiiiiiiich.

@ Vettel pissing in everyone's eye once again...cracks me up.

 

[Animal]

Vettel is a machine. on the ragged edge and still laser precise. Well done.

 

[jey_16]

Webber had the fastest first sector and then finishes behind the ferrari's! wtf! So disappointing

Let's see what Hamilton says

 

[Adamm]

All we can hope is Button & Hamilton get awesome starts tommorow

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[wonderkins]

Only four more poles to go. If Vettel does it, holy hell.

:bow Vettel :bow

edit: has any team won every pole in a single season?

 

[Edmond Dantès]

His own fault I'm afraid, He should have been paying more attention.

 

[Pterion]

When it rains it pours. What an awful and unlucky season for LH. ****!

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Is that a new guy from FOM interviewing them?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Is that Lewis' fault for dawdling too much before his hot-lap? Is that McLaren's fault for not telling him to get a move on? It's certainly not Webber's or Schumacher's fault. This whole situation could be so easily avoided with simple time management. You have 10 minutes - leaving everything to the very last second may theoretically earn you about a tenth, but it's also asking for trouble.

Its the teams fault, I understand waiting until the end to do a lap - but it was always going to be a push to start the lap on time, it left no room for error.

 

[DrM]

+ Pit wall blunder, you should have at least 5 second 'trouble' zone included in so tight outlap.

 

[SunhiLegend]

They should have got him out earlier. The tracks not going to change in a couple of minutes he didn't need to be the last one to set a lap time.

 

[Chris R]

Will Buxton is the Speed (USA) pitlane reporter. Guess he took over the interview duties?

Yeah, I've always hated this "wait till the last second" bullshit that they do...you're just asking for trouble when you do that, and that's exactly what they got. That said, Hamilton has to shoulder some of the blame, not sure WTF he was doing.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Massa out qualified Alonso. Massa and Hamilton on the second row. Hoping for another electric start from Alonso tomorrow.

 

[jey_16]

That's basically what Hamilton did to massa in Singapore quali......karma's a bitch

 

[Adamm]

4 people didnt set lap times in Q3 =/

They really need to get qualifying tyres for next year - this is becoming a joke

Paul Hembrey of Pirelli claims that they offered a solution, but that the teams rejected it. He didn't state what Pirelli had proposed, though. It is ridiculous, and getting more so.

Is everyone sick this weekend?
Perez looked like death earlier & Di resta sounds terrible

So normal then?

 

[SunhiLegend]

Ok. Time for me to go to sleep. I'm so tired.

 

[Kyaw]

Can we have a GIF of Newey's face in the pit lane please?

Koba didn't even get anywhere up in the field after going out with those prime tyres...
Can't wait for the race tomorrow.

 

[Pterion]

Hamilton for the win tomorrow. It's about time!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Hamilton for the win tomorrow. It's about time!

Button, Hamilton, Schumacher respectively.

*dreams*

 

[Shaneus]

Bahaha. Schuey and Hammy missing out. But what the fuck happened to Webber during his hot lap? There must have been an error during that lap. I bet this is the year he does a decent start yet is so far back it doesn't make any difference.

He only did it to just set a time. Was still enough to get out in front of the Renault's. Edit: I thought he set a lap right away, yet it's showing he's starting 10th? What happened there?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Kobayashi will be given 7th.

 

[Massa]

Kobayashi will be given 7th.

So PET was faster in Q3 and Q2 but he starts behind SEN because of the number in his car? That sounds ridiculous.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Wouldn't be an issue if they had actually been bothered to do something in Q3.

Woot! I was confused on why he wasn't given 7th. But nevermind then!
