Well if you can't get an RBR out of Q1, even without KERS, and on the harder tire, you can't really say too much...

Exactly...they were saying that kers gives a 0.3-0.4 sec advantage on this track...webber wasn't even near that...excuses again...

[benm]

Whats the go with the McLaren suits, they trying to help out Ferrari in the marketing department are they....

[Galois]

So hoping Vettel doesn't just drive away again. Would be great if his kers bails and that long straight serves as a battle ground between Button and Vettel. That might be asking too much though? Do the other back-runners have kers? Are they going to launch past Webber like last week? Hopefully he recovers well, it's going to be a bad GP for him and he'll be fighting all afternoon, but i bet he'll get some points out of it, assuming no-one takes him out.

Look forward to reading about wtf happened with that tyre choice and lap time.

lol...only just checked qualy times...fail webber? anyone notice or hear of anything in particular?

or did he just plain screw up?

or his awesome luck...or lack there of has returned

[-Jimmy-]

His KERS hasn't been working all weekend and he decided to stay on the harder tyre for Q1.

[wolverine]

Can they strip out the KERS overnight and run ballast instead? Might as well carry weight where it can be useful if possible.

[ctjet]

theres already enough ballast in the drivers seat holding that car up

[boiracer]

KERS is no excuse for being that far down the field.

i wanna see him do well....but it just keeps going backwards. I'd say if he doesn't do well this year he should/will retire......or they are deliberately making his car suck balls so he can help hold the rest of the pack back so Veetool can win easier, and to give them an excuse to ditch him next year for someone else? Barichello maybe? he likes being second fiddle to German elitists doesnt he??

either way...i dont see it hapeneing for Webber. maybe he needs some prettier arm candy to BOOSt his confidence?

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Poor webber, I feel sorry for him sometimes. He's certainly one of the best drivers, but he's never had luck on his side.

Redbull's now the top team, they may want someone like Di Resta, Petrov or Rosberg for some new blood in 2012. Though ferrari still stick with massa (I think webber>massa though)

Cause Weber will be holding a lot of Vettel's challengers back from 18th position on the grid. Unless he lassoos the cars in front to get a bit of a run up the straights.

WTF with Weber? wrong tyre choice,be interesting to know the real story on who made the desision. Not suprised to see KERS not working on mark but just fine on sebs, same cars my a@$

I'm mystified. The simple fact is an RB7 should be able to get into q2 on 7 cylinders, never mind hard tyres. And mark's a better driver than that ... at least, I've always thought he was. He's still the same guy that came close to winning the title last year, but I have to ask if his head's right. I wrote off Australia as a one-off, in Malaysia he was screwed by the KERS failure, but I can't think of any reason for this qualifying performance except him being out of the game mentally. He can fix it but he needs to take a good jar look at himself, I think

looking forward to the race today. televised from 4pm in tassy. not sure when its televised in other states. are we thinking another win for vetel?

[lmanion]

Webber also only managed 5 laps in P3 and only one of those was a timed lap, seems something has been up with his car all weekend he was way down in the other practise sessions as well. Whatever the cause without KERS here it will be a very long day for him.

[boiracer]

in the interview...he was very cautious, but pretty much said his car sucks

and yet the race he has kers and still nothing much..

[limpus]

LOL at Button...stopping in the wrong team's pit garage during the pit stop....nice one!!
