So 2nd Qualifying just finished, and I must say, it resulted in one of the most bizarre start-up grids I've ever seen.

I'm not gonna post the results here yet since Speed TV will show it at 8.00PM (I just followed the live timing).

Anyone else follow the live timing? Opinions?
 
The format is confusing... 😕

Your boy is ahead of Alonso though... hahahaha... :thumbsup:

...and both Red Bulls are ahead of both McLarens... 😱

Mark Webber (formerly of Jaguar) and Nick Heidfeld.

bR: 🙂 You gotta admit, Karthikeyan drove pretty well considering it's his first official session and the fact that he's only been in the "F1 world" for 4 weeks. He was much faster than his teammate, and only ~3sec slower than Button in the same conditions. That's pretty good.

I'm more shocked at Trulli in his Toyota. Would you have thought he would be on the front row??

It's gonna be an AWESOME race. We get to see teh McLaren boys fight from midfield to the top, Schumi is gonna go in "supermode" to catch up from the back of the pack. I must say, this new Qualifying format is great for the spectators!
 
Yeah he drove pretty damn well yesterday... :thumbsup: keeping in mind that he was one of the few first ones out on the wet track... with the crappy jordan. 🙁

I think the weather ruined a lot of people's weekend... lol.

Well I mean, Schumi had it coming. For so long, the weather always helped them out, so this time around he got screwed. Webber is up there, so that's good.

did you notice how twitchy the Jordan chassis was? Damn! On the other hand, RedBull chassis was quite smooth.

I think Red Bull are gonna surprised a lot of people this season. And Klien seems fast now!
 
Hmm... which channel should I watch the race... TSN or SpeedTV.... Currently leaning towards SpeedTV. 🙂
 
hmmm methinks that stupid one set of tires per weekend is making everyone conserve their set... which means no overtaking. 🙁
 
Damnit.I mentioned to my Dad yesterday 3 drivers who I believed would win the race.
Those same 3 drivers got positions 1, 2 and 3 in the race.
I wish I had put money on that 🙁

there was a lot of over taking!

The Alonso/JV battle, then Button and someone else.

Look at DC....damn he was good! And how the hell did Barichello end up getting 2nd?????

yeah but the first half was incredibly boring... 😛

BAR pulls out their cars on the penultimate lap so they can change engines. smart move. 🙂
 
I'm not reading any of the replies in this thread because I had to shut it off with 15 laps remaining. I'm going to finish watching it after my son goes to bed tonight.

they did?? they made no mention of that during the Speed broadcast.

That's such a stupid loophole though..so everyone out of the points will get a new engine (theoretically) and only 8 drivers will complete a race.

make the kid watch F1!! Get him into karts. Imagine if he makes it big, you'll never have to work again!!! 😀
 
thats because speedtv is watching the same thing we are... 😛

i was checking the results speed and it says Button is 1 lap down and Sato two... but in the unofficial results on tv it said Button was 1:10 down and Sato 1 lap down... so i'm guessing they did pull out on the last lap...
