Raikkonen with more KERS fail?

Vettel almost outqualifying Jewis with 10 spot penalty

[Skyliner]

I'm cool with 2nd and 4th.

Edit: Wait, 3rd. Rubens loses 5 places for the gearbox replacement and Vettel loses 10 for the Kubica accident last race.

Can someone please explain to me how williams keeps failing

[Dr. Jimmmah!]

wow, what a huge brainfart to not get massa back on track in Q1. even with 4 mins to go I could see that he would be on the bubble or bumped. that's more than enough time to get out and get at least 1 if not 2 laps in.

2. TRULLI Toyota

3. GLOCK Toyota

[Dr. Jimmmah!]

[yonson]

FUUUUUUUUUUuuuu set 2 alarms and still slept through both of them Had to make sure not to look anywhere that might give away the order before I could watch quali, damn what a session, I thought trulli was gonna take pole for a second there!

Gonna hafta set 4 alarms for the race, I ain't missing that!

I wonder why Kimi didn't do another lap at the end of q3? He was easily through and seems he could have improved, Ferrari look to be easy on the tires too damnit wtf is wrong with that outfit? Didn't they learn anything from Todt and Schumi ffffffuuuuuuuuu

whats worse is that schumi was sitting at the pit wall and let this happen

oh well, lesson learned.. still no need to panic at this early point in the season. felipe scored 0 points in the first 2 races last year too and still came back to almost close the deal.

I'm wondering if he let off to save fuel for the race...

I JUST KNOW Massa is going to do something nutty at the start. It's inevitable...but will it end well?
And Alonso - Kimi starting side by side

Fuel spoiler:

Kimi is already running light on fuel. Not like Vettel (damn) but still. And Alonso being that heavy and running simular time to Ferrari is pretty fuckin good.

Re-quoted just to emphasize how big a fail Ferrari has been since Schumi left. Think of all the fuckups last year and shitty results that could have been avoided.

[yonson]

Hmmmmm, I wonder if they pulled the KERS out of the Ferrari's completely, thus giving them that much more fuel capacity...

whew, ya, i think he was just wanting to get in Q3 and just rest off his ear infection
poor guy

It wasn't just Schumi, it was the gathering of Schumi, Todt and Brawn that made Ferrari so legendary.

Anymore, I wonder how much of that was Brawn's doing.

OK Toyota, don't get taken out or take each other out on the first turn. I'll be fairly happy if Trulli finishes in the top 5.

[yonson]

put those fuel weights in spoiler mode, some people don't wanna know it...

It doesn't bother me, but others want it to be a surprise...

I'll be glad to, as long as this doesn't become Draconian about spoilers like SomethingAwful.

[rant]The spoiler police over there annoy the piss out of me. I mean, what are the rules for this? The fuel weights are an exception, as that's something new. Over there, there are people that complain about spoilers for episodes that have already aired somewhere else. "OMG, I'm in Canada and that hasn't aired here yet. Spoiler that shit!" It's like they want the world to operate on their schedule. [/rant]

I'm far too annoyed by the "serious business" on the internet.
