Rd1: 2010 Bahrain Qualifying ***Spoilers***

I hope it stays that way

 

No questions about Felipe being able to return to racing and CHALLENGE FA!!! Yes its only race 1 but Felipe needs to PROVE NOTHING to anyone Well done!!!! Kimi......enjoy that junior rallye drive!!!!

 

In any case, it's very nice to see Felipe in top shape after that horrible accident

What a great comeback so far for him!

 

WooHoo - finally a reason to root for Felipe when he outperforms FA!

Felipe is baaaaaaaack

 

And it must be time to start the "Fernando sucks" thread.

Wow! certainly didn't expect Massa to beat alonso!

Well done Massa!

Schumacher needs more speed though. It is a long track, maybe the Difference in Australia won't be so big (2 tenths now).

Well done VETTEL above all though!

 

Ok, first things first.... The Ferrari's are quick!! Also it's great to see Massa back to his old form. Great result for Ferrari and Vettel too but disappointing for Schumacher.

 

I wonder how the tire situation will work for Lewis since he's had problems over practice and Ferrari has put much time on their tires, guess well know tomorrow. It seems that Ross has taken a very good approach to Q3 - but then that wouldn't be a surprise!

We'll see if Vettel's car has that speed all the way through the race tomorrow. I'm expecting some issues for them which will likely mean Ferrari 1 & 2.

Shame about Button... if this is a sign of things to come, it will be a long season for him.

....What happened to the list of drivers on the upper left hand side of the screen (a la last year....) that would change as they cross the line? You could follow who was where....

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Bring the live timing list back!!!

 

Followed by who should replace Alonso? thread
Great to see Massa back and P3 ain't bad for FA

 

Good point didn't notice that, I don't know if all the channels share the same graphics but the BBC have new graphics, might be something to do with that. We might see it again later in the season.

 

Oh the Alonso haters would love that.

 

Great job by Massa and Nico. From the way practice went, I suspect the race results might change quite a bit based on tire degradation. Either way we should be looking forward to some great racing tomorrow.

McLaren..I'm pretty worried now.

 

Next race the Massa haters may have their chance

 

+1

Didn't know where anyone was in the last session, except for the top 3

 

The race will definitely be interesting. Fastest is okay if you don't run out of fuel and can successfully conserve tires ! Really glad to see Felipe ahead of Alonso. Felipe first begun his interview by congratulating Vettel, very sportsman-like and what one would expect from him.

+1 especially since the separate live timing didn't work properly.

 

Not to reopen a can of worms but J Allen is a better interviewer than the guy they had last year.

 

Not to open an even larger can of worms, but I thought Peewee was a better interviewer than them both.

 

+1. It is lovely to see him immediately competitive. Phil is my new Kimi this season....

 

That's the fellow I was alluding to. Allen comes across as less fawning.

 

very definitely
