If you are talking about him passing the TR, those were white flags that were being waved, not yellow.

He didn't ignore any yellow in Quali. There was no yellow flag. Only white.

They were waving whites while a car was trundling around with the front wing stuck under it's nose ? Wow.

Well a white flag does mean "car trundling round the track, watch out"...

Short run to the first corner, and his last couple of starts haven't been that bad.

He was at fault for that...take the blinders off.
at no point have schumacher fans gone 'he wasn't at fault'.
It was a complete racing incident. Senna DID move twice , and his second move was in the braking zone - which everyone seems to ignore.

schumacher misjudged it. It didn't warrant an actual penalty.

The penalties dished out for every accident is getting tiresome, and michaels move was a result of senna moving to the left in the braking zone.

You don't have to back off for white flags. No one is on the track and no driver is trying to get out of a car.

I know – I was just explaining to shrieker, who seemed surprised that they would wave the "slow car ahead" flag for a slow car ahead.

Interesting to hear about Kimi, looked very careful and a bit uncomfortable around the corners. Steering problems worse or the missing practise costing?
Schumacher did not complain about qualifying or one lap grip of Pirelli's. He complained about basically Pirellis not letting them race properly during the races.

Yes, and he's absolutely right.
Formula one is not endurance, and moreover there is too much inconsistency between races. Random is not for Formula one.

Red Baron is back 8)
Good Perf By Webber Dominating Again his Team mate !
Massa Was quick and close to Fernando this time
Still Something Missunderstood..What's the point with Vettel ? He didn't set a q3 time for the second time in a row ..Don't tell me that he wants to save Tyres -_-

I hope a win for Webber he deserves it !All that he must do is : Have a Good Start , Avoid Collisions AND Bad Strategy ..( Poker Like Strategy by Vettel Last Year)

Will it ...Rain tomorrow ? cause we were supposed to have WET Qualis today -.- strange meteo..

Vettel actually ran out of supersofts to run on, he used one in Q1 and had to use 2 in Q2 to get him through to Q3.

I seriously want to know what is going on with Button though.

You dont go from getting simply out qualified, to not even being able to reach Q3 on multiple occasions, back to back.

Other teams have done this, but the cars have been pretty much similar in performance or grid position.

I asked the question of whether Button not doing any testing with the new parts could have compromised him and tbh, I'm still wondering.

He was having pace troubles in Bahrain, but Lewis was also.

However, if you look at the facts, ever since McLaren came out of testing, Jenson has been unable to get his car into Q3.

Right – Webber dominated him that much that he had a whole extra set of tyres.
