Hungary - Qualifying - **spoiler**

Less than a half hour to go. Is Kimi sandbagging or is his set up not what he wants? I'm hoping Felipe will get another pole.

Afternoon Carol

Lets hope the reds can even things up on the track today

 

Good morning...6 minutes to go. We need a strong finish from both cars to have a shot at the titles; so lets see what Kimi and Massa can pull out today.

Mark

Edit....is anyone watching Inside GP and see the Monaco race Lauda won; at the finish line someone in a yellow jacket in the background decked someone just off screen with a heck of a shot...haha

 

Good afternoon to you Steve - it's 0655 here for me right now. Wonder where everyone is this morning? Actually it matters not who has pole as along as P1 & P2 are red cars.

Carol

Inside Grand Prix was good this morning - - it's on now!!!


Good morning to you Mark!

 

And good morning to you Carol. Inside GP is always good to me, I can't get enough of that show.

Mark

 

Good morning Carol. 5:01 here in still dark Southern California.

We'll see how quali goes. Kimi is still probably trying to find the right set up, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets it together for the sessions. Felipe seems to have it figured out though...so much for our concerns about the long wheelbase making the cars uncompetitive at this track. Maybe it was the Stepney detergent that bogged the cars down at Monaco X )

 

Live timing is > 9 minutes in Q1 - apparently quite windy on the circuit - saying it could affect set up. Wurz in P1 right now - that just changed and will be continually changing now. Only 6 drivers have set times.

I like the overview of everything Inside Grand Prix offers about the particular GP.

Carol

 

There not all early birds like you carol

We got Damian Hill guest presenter on ITV he s good..

 

Speed with all the commercials is currently a 9 minute lag behind the live timing. Not to complain as at least there's live coverage and not tape delayed. If an event is occurring I want to be right there with the action, not a bit later!

Carol

 

Cant believe honda can be so bad

 

I know what you mean, but I like to watch it so I stay away from Live Timing during qauli. I don't like to have the broadcast "spoiled" by already knowing who is going to be on top of each session.

Mark

 

Im in my bed..didnt sleep. Wondering if i should go downstairs and turn it on...

 

Good morning to you too Brian in still dark CA!

No kidding Steve, a bad morning for Honda - poor Jenson, he's not have a very good time of late. Not at all surprised with Spyker . .guess we'll see what their major changes will do to their cars for Turkey.

Q2 underway right now.

Carol

 

So far a bit dismal for the red cars. Perhaps things will pick up in Q2 for them.

Carol

 

Where did Hamilton pull that 1:19.5 from? That's faster than Kimi's pole from last year!

 

Wonder what happened to Massa - stopping at pit exit and being pushed back to garage? this is not good . . . .

Carol

 

That was quick! .7 faster than the rest.

 

Massa s car is bobbins he is in the knock out zone

 

Massa is out???? What happened to his car??? What did he do wrong in that last sector? He lost almost a second versus everyone else.

Another bad weekend for the Scuderia. I think this championship race is over, barring a miracle.

 

WHAT THE HELL? MASSA 14??!

 

Knocked out in Q2 - Luizzi, Davidson, Massa (14th), Wurz, Kovalainen, DC

I got a feeling it's gonna be a McLaren pole.

Carol

 

I think your feeling right

 

Wow that is a bummer to read. I am watching "live" on speed, but looks like speed is way behind!

 

Hamilton's turning laps close to the all-time record, and Kimi's .8 behind, .2 behind TRULLI???

This may be the weekend that decides the championship (on the track, at least)
