ah this is one of the anti vettle places?

More one of the hoping-the-title-won't-be-decided-after-half-the-season places I think.

poor schumy

It's all good, it's all good. The session was pretty much over anyway and now he knows where the limit is so might help him avoid a recurrence when it matters.

Grim.

very difficult to tell who has the fastest car the red bull mclaren merc and lotus look very even

Glico Man

That Merc looks very good and well balanced. With them and Lotus joining the Mc's and the RBs at the front, quali is going to be excellent

Poor Ferrari, looks like a dog to drive. Atm, it looks like they'll get knocked out in Q2, if Massa even makes it that far

Watched P3 and was hoping to stay up for qualifying, throwing in the towel now!

Pfft, silly amateurs! :pac:

Live timing still not ****ing working. Pity there's no driver tracker on the Red Button this session, say it was a laugh a few minutes ago.

Great seeing everyone out so early.

Ghost Train

Schumacher pushing like ****, looked great slamming the front wing through the first corner.

Didn't miss a massive amount. Vettel had a spin into the gravel trap, Ferraris still look awful.

Glico Man

The sound is much better without that stupid blown diffuser rasping...

The Ice Man still a bit frozen it seems!

Good point.. not over yet.. could start with hards for few laps , possibly safety car will come out after start or so..

freestyla

Alonso out! wtf

amacachi

Alonso out. Gonna be a few people waking up with horse heads next to them over the next few days.

Totally agree with Brundle, the wheel on the grass stuff is bloody ridiculous.

ctrl-alt-delete

Alonso not happy at all, wanted a push,

Red flagged until they sort that car.

yes, had the same idea
audio from sky now, can sync the timing with rtl, good to hear croft again

mclaren looking strong, wonder do redbull or mercedes have anything extra for the rest of q2 or q3

Grim.

come on maldonado!!

amacachi

Some differences within teams, wonder if there were tyre reasons.

Hulk .7 faster than DiResta
Maldonado .4 quicker than Senna despite losing what looked like half a second in the last few turns.

Plenty of pace in that Lotus it seems!

freestyla

I knew Alonso and Kimi are close rivals but didnt know they gonna fight for 10th place :P

elmolesto

Ferrari has a dog of a car this year.

Ghost Train

Alonso looked pissed

freestyla

Who of 4 silver arrows will get pole?

drink_milk

Good time from Hamilton! Last laps... Let's see ...

freestyla

awesome 1st 2012 quali

Glico Man

Supreme lap from Grosjean... unlucky Button just pipped him
