I'm going to go with Felipe :happy: He is another Francois in my book.

If he doesn't pull it off it will be Kimi.

This was the most exciting knock-out quali.
And What dirty tactics from McLaren, keeping Lewis in so that they can release him in the path of Massa and hold him up a bit. I am happy it backfired for them and Massa got pole.

Yes, Webber has the upper hand on DC at the moment. Good effort from Rosberg, too.

I set my alarm but it didn't wake me up, so I guess it's lucky I set the DVD recorder on the timer!

I didn't think too much of the qualifying session itself, but it was ok I guess.

DC and Barrichello have got to start from the back row of the grid for the race for using different engines during quali, to the ones they used in Australia.

Anyone notice Rosberg sneak into 6th place?!

Well DC was only a few hundeds of a sec slower than Mark and a couple of spots lower on the grid. A lot depends on how they are fuelled.

Indeed a great effort from Nico..... what went wrong with Wurz though? Not to mebtion the Renaults who seemed fortunate to not be eliminated in stage 1, along with Rubens. It would seem that Honda have produced a bigger donkey than Toyota this year.

It will be interesting to see how the first stops pan out, more in terms of between the teamates than the teams though. God I wish we had a non strategy related (ie free to run Q2 type low fuel loads) qualifying....

Just a reminder to my fellow Aussie residents that Qualy will be shown on TEN at 11pm tonight Melbourne time.

He does have alot of similar quality's as Francois..............Your right about that. I see like Ive said before He and Kimi being very hard to beat as a team this year and for a while yet. Its Sir Jackie and Francois all over again. :shock:

Yes. Cevert might have been co-driver to JYS, but he was never his bitch.

Has anyone else noticed that there are no tarmac runoffs at Sepang?

Yep, but it's two from two... :wink:

So credit to Mark. He retains his rep' as qualifying king over his team-mates... :thumbsup:

Well hopefully Mark will manage to finish a race at Sepang.... his record currently standing at 0 from 5 tries..

Hopefully DC will something more orthodox and professional here than he did at Albert Park.... maybe lay off the Red Bull before the race :wink:

I think both the Ferrari's are lower on fuel, and i think they will pit between lap 15 and 18. Massa is only 0.6s slower in Q3 compared with Q2. Kimi is only 0.8s slower.

When you look at the times of Alonso and Hamilton, there gap is more than a second. 1.3s and 1.6s.

Anyone want to predict the Top 3? I'll guess:

1. Raikkonen
2. Alonso
3. Hamilton
