yeah a stop would be fucking gay.

[Halkyon]

I hope Webber has a terrible start and loses out to Rosberg and Vettel, I'm still bitter about Melbourne.

Looking forward to seeing what Hulkenberg and Kubica can do tomorrow. Would be great to see Williams get a win and could be a good chance tomorrow, Rubens is good in the wet, must be a decent chance for Sutil as well. Vettel will win though, as I dropped him from my fantasy team this week, to be replaced by Button.

I'm so pleased I went for the 45m option and don't have the option to constantly fiddle with my line-up.

Edit: Petrov set the fastest qualifying time.

1 Mark Webber 1:49.327

...

11 Vitaly Petrov 1:48.760

Does anyone know of a website where you can see the differences in F1 cars over the years?

Should be a fair amount of wastage tomorrow. Pity I'm bloody working, have a shit internet connection and will be reduced to listening to it on the radio.

[Rattlehead.ie]

I'd just like to see Schuie on the Podium, specially 1st. Vettel up there after his unfortunate start to the season and Kubica.

[morcs]

Yeah dry would be good. Interlagos last year was ace because the grid was totally jumbled, with slow cars running wet setups at the front and the bigger teams starting at the back.

In fact the grid is strangely similar! Webber up at the front, Lewis at the back, Button slightly better:

Should be an interesting one tomorrow! Good chance for the field to even out (points wise). Kind of want Rosberg and Hulkenberg to finish on the podium. Could we see an all German podium?

[dayte]

With 5 competitive drivers on the roster I don't see why not.

Apparently the weather forecast said it would dry out after the initial rain. This qualifying can be put forward as a good case in getting accurate weather forecasts banned, so teams would have to rely on intuition and luck, and bring plenty of excitement into the race weekend.

[exwhyzed]

Red Bull 1-2, midfielders will just parade around, McLarens and Ferraris will go though the field until they reach cars where the speed difference on the straight is such that it means they cannot simply drive past.

Unless it rains this will probably be another shitfest.

[the_debaser]

What time does the race start tomorrow guys?

[MrPogo]

9am

Based on their grid positions and the performance of the cars, the Red Bulls should walk it. Based on car reliability and track record of the drivers, I doubt they will.

[morcs]

Watching the Ferrari and McLaren getting wheeled back, you could see the McLaren mechanics sort of grinning and shaking their heads whilst the Ferrari mechanics in front looked all serious and annoyed. Paranoid Ferrari mechanics must've been covering the back of their car or something.

[Sigourney Beaver]

Kubica is the danger man again for this race. Megaforce F1 depends on him!

[Blu3Flame]

Place your bets... how many shirts will Eddie Jordan need throughout the show today?

[Big Gus]

All bets are off, he's going to wear something white surely?

[PaulM]

I don't think any colour shirt will be safe for Sweatty Eddy, so I reckon 3.

[Sigourney Beaver]

It would be just like him to present himself bare-chested.

Oh god, now I'm going to have to poke out my mind's eye. I'm having flashbacks to that piece he did last year at Rubens' pad now...

[zxcvbnm]

Eddie Jordan will be presenting in nothing but a thong in Jordan Yellow. With a hornet on his cock.

lol - the shirt got mentioned straight from the off.

[Sigourney Beaver]

Humphrey, straight to the shirt!

[Big Gus]

Roffles, Jake ripping into sweaty EJ.

[Sigourney Beaver]

This "no overtaking" moan that everyone is on at the moment is utter nonsense. I was at the F3 at Oulton Park yesterday and it was exactly the same as F1. Processional and when someone does try and overtake there's contact.

[Halo]

Would a KERS-esque button even solve the overtaking problem when both cars have it?

[Sigourney Beaver]

You'd think not. Anthony Davidson suggested turbos would improve things because the boost would have to be used conservatively.

Haha, Glock's jacuzzi!

Mmm, bitten hisses...
