Agreed, live timing is sex.

If Webber was able to get a few more laps in with those new tyres at the end he could have ended up on the first row.

No one was near him for the first half of the session, he did well to bank that nice lap.

[ctjet]

oh and i didnt mention that "Fisico" looks good for a win, not that im cheering for him or anything but he kept on pumpin in the fast ones with no probs

and wat happened to Alonso???

SMWBH syndrome.

Lets hope Webber gets a podium, Williams/Cosworth combo looking ok at the moment hopefully they can keep it up.

Rosberg has certainly impressed.....so far.

[ctjet]

SMWBH syndrome.

... huh?

[Paradizzle]

... huh?

Small man with big head. I dont like him.

[ctjet]

isnt that sort of a requirement for the modern F1 pilot tho??

can anybody say Scott Speed?

[Paradizzle]

But i mean litreally, he is a small man and has a large over sized head. (not ego related) although that is large aswell.

[Duncan]

uh-oh webber is getting beaten by mr team mate again.....

[gtr660hp]

what the??? Nico>>>> P3 (not bad for a newbie!!!) glad to see Alonso at P8-might get interesting if he starts to come through the pack. I'm betting Fisi doesnt last long at the front-hmmm could be an interesting race with this jumbled grid.

[gtr660hp]

fisi wins!!! what the... both williams blow up...hmmm there will be some butt kicking at Cosworth

[Beer Baron]

well the race was good for the first 20 laps, then it was a bit of a snooze fest.

it was nice to see webber not taking any crap from rosberg at turn 1. but they both got hung out to dry a bit. I dont think there was any great need for rosberg to squeeze webber so far off line as webber was always going to come up the inside, rosberg should have been more concerned with the rest of them (gonzo in particular).

shame the cossies blew, but 2 fresh engines for melbourne means i will get to hear a V8 at 21 000rpm in qualifying.

[Roy]

Just pray that Melbourne turns on some hot weather for the next GP.

Massa again impressed, well me anyway.

[ctjet]

im betting Raikkonen was a serial killer in his past life, and now the almighty is punishing him in this life for all his wrong doings in his past life...

if its not his car taking him out its somebody elses

[gtr660hp]

I'm glad Kimi got shunted-it will make it interesting later in the season when he tries to regain some points.

Yep fresh cossies for the boys in Melbourne-love to see the williams on P1 P2

I reckon Nico will get is arse kicked for the turn 1 move.

Far too busy trying to squeeze his teammate right to the inside, there is no excuse for allowing someone around the outside

[MONTOYA]

Rookie mistake from Rosberg.He should have realised Webber was going though and just tried to stop Alonso.He ruined Webbers and his own chance to shine up front before their motors went.

Montoya wasnt that quick and hardly seen him,but Raikkenon would have been fast i think as always.But its starting to look like the Renaults are gona run away with it again.

absolutely. like i said above he was far too concerned with keeping webber behind him when he should have been thinking about a fast starting, fuel heavy renault. because had he and webber kept alonso behind i doubt alonso would have been able to pass them with the amount of fuel he was carrying. it was a dumb move by rosberg and nearly ended badly. he is so quick though and will definately keep webber on his toes.
