Right foot TC (throttle control)!

I missed qualifying.

Can anybody tell me how Kovalainen ended up in 7th?

Was he just slow or did something go wrong!?

The track was to blame -- normal service did not occur. I think some drivers were just more willing to push on the messed up tarmac, or had found a sweet-spot.

What a joke.

Oh well, hopefully it will rain or something to mix it up a bit.

Well I have a little theory. Hamilton, Kubica, and Alonso were all relatively quick compared to their peers. All three drivers have an aggressive turn in and are happy with a tail happy car. Could this have been their key to turn 10? Able to turn in aggressively generating more grip, also able to put the power down earlier and more aggressively and deal with the car oversteering.

to be honest the drivers who lost least time in the end went on the grass inside the curbs. there is a reason why Webber said that cross bike would have been more appropriate.

seriously, it was all very irregular. the most obvious was that McLaren have found more top speed and were stronger in sector 3 than Ferrari. the missing wheel fairing at Ferrari may have had something to do with that.

I aggree, with the fairing thing, but also should Ferarri have brought the slotted nose chassis as well as im shure that would have bettered their aero efficiency.

Indeed, Massa was 9kph slower than Hamilton at the speed trap, Raikkonen 6kph slower...

This will be the first race I get to watch all season.
No coverage sucks

[djones]

Here is a quick prediction from me...

Hamilton puts it in the wall so is out of the race.

1.Kubica
2.Raikkonen
3.Rosberg

[waynes]

just had a cheeky bet on Heikki getting onto the podium, 12/1 odds

2 pounds on that thank you very much

Sadly, the rain might be necessary to keep the track from crumbling under tyre...

I predict the winner to be... The safety car!

I think that it is going to complete more laps than most drivers.

Maybe next year we will see some good RCC concrete replace the tarmac in the chicanes, and hairpin turn 10... Maybe with 4-6 degrees of banking???
