- The cars are out for practice 3! #
- Practice results are too weird. It’s difficult to make much sense of them #
- Quali is under way! Fisi goes P1 early on #
- FWIW, I’m listening to Radio 5 Live’s commentary today, rather than putting up with James Allen on ITV #
- Only 8 cars setting a time so far. Have they made a mistake by increasing the length of Q1 to 20 minutes? #
- McLaren come out - Kovy on his way to set a time #
- Trulli goes purple - faster than anyone else #
- Now Rosberg looking handy #
- DC goes 2nd - good time #
- Hamilton goes purple in S1 #
- Here comes Kovy - pole by well over a second, but Hamilton is set to beat it. #
- Whoa, Hamilton struggling there #
- He messed up - Kovy remains on provisional pole #
- Kovy goes 2nd as well #
- Hamilton goes provisional pole #
- Crofty has a chesty cough. It’s like having Murray Walker back! #
- Not long to go now, and a couple of big names in the ‘drop zone’ - Alonso, Webber, Trulli, Glock, Nakajima #
- Alonso is out! #
- Knocked out of Q2: 11 BAR 12 ALO 13 BUT 14 NAK 15 WEB 16 RAI #
- Q3 is now only 10 minutes long, so it will be tense stuff I reckon #
- Did Alonso calculate to finish outside of the top 10? He now has that all important fuel advantage! #
- Q3 begins, and no cars are coming out! #
- The law of unintended consequences strikes #
- Vettel just pulls off into the pits.. I wonder why #
- Massa goes P1, just ahead of Kovy, But now Hamilton goes provisional pole! Lots of fast laps in succession there #
- Vettel opting not to set a lap to save his fuel! Very interesting! #
- They need to get rid of this nonsensical race fuel load nonsense, as I have always said. It is a farce that some people aren’t trying #
- Kubica goes purple in S1! Will he get pole?? #
- Oh, big moment on the exit of turn 12! That might have ruined his lap #
- Kubica DOES go pole! But Hamilton will probably beat him #
- Yes, Hamilton is on pole. #
- Two big stories of the day: Raikkonen 16th and Kubica an amazing 2nd!! He could well have been pole without that mistake #
- Top ten: 1 HAM 2 KUB 3 KOV 4 MAS 5 HEI 6 TRU 7 ROS 8 COU 9 GLO 10 VET #
- Watching the re-run of qualifying. Enduring James Allen for the first time. It seems as though he doesn’t listen to MB at all. Repeats him #
