***SPOILER*** Sepang Qualifying

Hey Jensen...thanks for dashing any false hope I had of Ferrari being competitive this weekend. You too Jarno! Of course, I can't forget Domenicali either!

...I'm going to bed. I predict the top 3 will be:

1. Jensen
2. Trulli
3. Barichello

 

Final times for Q2. Both Maccas out. Close to Massa as wel...

Sorry guys but GO MARK.

 

The Macs sit about where they belong on the grid...not a top-10 car, so I'd expect Felipe should get past them. I wish we had a chance to know how fast Massa could be, but at the end of the day Red Bull, Toyota and Brawn are all in another universe at the front of the grid. They were toying with Ferrari this weekend. Williams not that far off, probably alongside Ferrari at the second level.

 

For sure, but he needs some luck for the race!

 

q3 has started. Kimi out 1st.

 

Hey, no need to apologize. I'd love to see Webber get one this weekend. It would make up for all of the times the racing gods pulled one from him in the past. It's not his fault the Ferrari's are behind the top 3 in development.

 

One of the commentators said before his car has broke down/DNF every time he has been in the lead/2nd

 

Kimi fastest! no rosberg! no Rubens!

 

some times and sector times.

Vettel now 2nd.

Trulli fastest.

Who is running the lightest

 

Kimi running heavy, perhaps? It would be interesting to see if they go for a radical strategy, considering the performance they got on the soft tyres yesterday. Kimi had long stints with great times on the super-softs so maybe they can use race strategy to get further up the grid at the finish.

...wait, this isn't Brawn & Todt at the helm. Probably just a bad lap.

 

Kimi out again. never on pole here.

 

haha.

 

I'll go out on a limb and say he doesn't get it today, barring the team draining the race load from the car and him running an empty flyer.

 

kimi 4th.

button on purples

 

Button fastest.

 

vettel .1 off s2...

rosberg 3rd

Ferrari and McLaren have a LOT of work to do.

Congrats on Brawn and Toyota

 

Looks like Kimi and Alonso are running heavy. I know the Ferrari can get performance from both the hard and soft tire, but the pace is so compromised that they may open too much of a gap to get the car into the front part of the grid.

I think Kimi should pick up points, but a podium is probably far too much to ask for at this point. They should get as many as possible though, so that by the time Bernie re-orchestrates the grid and takes away the results of the diffuser 3, Ferrari can be on top again. Seriously though, Ferrari, McLaren and Renault have a LOT of work to do.

 

I don't think kimi had KERS for Q3. they had the graffic up and an onboard cam and kimi never pressed any buttons and and the graffic didnt have the kers part.

 

NO. I think Ferrari has problem with KERS this weekend in EVERY session. I really don't see the point of employing KERS that is not working reliably but only add weight to the car.

 

Ross Brawn is toying with these guys. RB had the penalty going in or it would be a 1-2.

 

yeah thats my point, kimi had the extra weight of KERS on the car but it was switched off.
