McLarens driver suits look great this weekend, if they kept that design for the rest of the year it wouldn't be a shame

[dezz]

Not number 3 or 4 today either

Webs has them exactly where he wants them

doesn't matter, if Webber got pole he'd just clutch slip and be 8th at the first corner so it's probably better he start back there to keep an eye on the front runners straight up.

did anyone notice Vet's head is about half the size width wise as button/hamilton? he still has time to put on the kg I guess.

from his own mouth

Daniel Ricciardo: "It feels really nice not being on the back of the grid and finishing ahead of Tonio, which is a small target I had set myself, so I'm happy to have achieved that. But I don't want to stop there, I want to do it constantly and progress in one way or another. It's been a tough weekend having suffered some mechanical problems in yesterday's practice sessions, so we didn't get to run as much as we would have liked today. I was aware that I had to give everything I could in this qualifying session and it's really satisfying to have done a good job. Now we have to wait and see how tomorrow goes but I think we should have a good set-up because we didn't go completely aggressive in qualifying."

new boy dun good.

Can't wait for the race, every time hamilton lines up next to vettel, vettel must be wetting himself

any time anyone is within 100m of hamo on the track they are probably wetting themselves wondering when he will take them out, LOL

No offence to ricci and the HRT crew but once you hit 107% quali time why not bring it in at that point to save the tyres? They're not going to get much better except between teammates and they could have better race pace which I would think is more important....from a team point of view.

Bahaha, hopefully he points his car at vettels again, might shake vettel into a mistake

pretty sure they will still have pretty much a full range of new tyres. they only did 1 qualifying session after all, so they would've only used 2 sets of tyres at most.

So.........why did captain chin not take a fresh engine?! Is he running out for the season?!

[mad082]

i reakon it was a team thing to help get vettel to win the championship ASAP. once that's done and dusted then i think they might let mark have a chance at winning to make sure they can cement his place at number 2 in the championship (forever number 2, LOL)

just watched vettels pole lap on tv. as the dopes (presenters) mentioned, he spends a lot of time on the limiter on the first straight, and a bit on the back straight.

sweet jesus, they are the ugliest grid girls in the history of the sport

Didi u see the side by side laps compared with lewis? they are neck and neck and sometimes lewis in front but the second chicane is where vettel gets it

[ctjet]

you forget how fast they get off the line

[dezz]

If Hamilton is anywhere near the back of Vettel's car coming onto a straight he should have him fairly easily..If Alonso gets close he should have him even easier

LOOK BUT NEVER STARE
