I kinda feel bad that it's such a running joke, that I woke up and straight away wondered if he was knocked out yet.

But he is awful.

[gospvg]

Vettel out !!

[SMD]

Oh fucking hell Vettel.

[gospvg]

Lol

[myoozikk]

Vetelololololol

[roskelld]

VetteLOL

[zxcvbnm]

WHERE'S THAT FUCKING FINGER NOW?!?!?!

[mexos]

Woah!

[roskelld]

What's going on with Button? He's not looking all that challenging at all.

[SMD]

Dat top 10, though.

[Tefleon]

Dumb question: how does qualifing work? Not the fastest gets pole but the three round things.

[SMD]

On the one hand, that's shite for Vettel. On the other hand, if he's not competing then 11th is better than 10th if it's a dry race.

[myoozikk]

Just in case anyone hadn't seen this!

[zxcvbnm]

That's unbelievably close between those top10 cars. Couldn't even get a gnat's foreskin inbetween them

edit: Massa's face at the weigh in!!! Looks like a spoilt child just been told he can't go out and play with the big children.

[roskelld]

Looking at those top ten times. Damn that's impressive, so close from 1 to 10.

[mexos]

So who the hell is going to get pole? Ham may well be fastest, but with Button struggling, Vettel out, who's going to start first?!

Going to be a Merc methinks.

Dumb question: how does qualifing work? Not the fastest gets pole but the three round things.

First round - top 17 go through to round 2.

Second round - top 10 go through.

Final round - the positions are set by that session's times.

So each round the cars that don't make it through have their positions 'locked' as it were.

[gospvg]

Webber looks good also but I would say Rosberg, would love to see Schumi at the top

I couldn't even call which team will be top.

[zxcvbnm]

Ah, how nice it is to be back on the beeb.

Tell me about it!

Come on Kimi, front row please! Didn't he get the fastest lap last race?

[gospvg]

0.3 seconds between the top 10 but Q3 comes with fuel strategy which is disappointing. Really need a shootout.

Cheers

You must have been out of watching F1 quali the past few years, this Quali set up has been going a few years now. I like it but Q3 needs to exclude race fuel.

I still prefer the old way of doing it, having 12 laps and holy shit Rosberg.

[myoozikk]

Storming lap from Rosberg that!

[gospvg]

Rosberg for pole then, gone light on fuel.

This setup brings a tension to Quali which I enjoy.

[kiroquai]

They all go light on fuel, surely?

Especially when they play the guessing game with the weather and it all goes to shit

[gospvg]

doh!! Sorry yes you are correct, I really need that extra sleep. I was thinking back to the years of fuel stops.

Even more then is amazing Rosbergs lap

[zxcvbnm]

very confident of Rosberg!!
