Oh, and massa is finished as a pilot in this sport. Todays performance was undefendable

He went off at turn one 6 times... You hear me? Just today... 6 times

Ferrari are in big trouble, even my mate who is just a casual F1 fan turned to me and said that the back of that ferrari is loose as hell. There mnight be some one lap pace in it, but tomorrow is crucial for them

Hopefully get to see nando slice through some of the field tomorrow!

pretty special effort from Massa... nawwwt

and yes, the back end of the Fezza looks wayward as all heck. the blown diffuser ban has not been kind to them

[Topstage_S14]

Ferrari should've found a suiter for his seat whilst he was on extended sick leave trying to get the spring out of his head.

[ctjet]

i put a $20 down that he wont last the season

straight swap for perez i reckon

[dezz]

Kubica should be right soon...

[ctjet]

HRT out for the race

suppose its for the best

Are they out officially?

I heard that the 107% was just a guideline and they're still allowed to run.

New regulations allow those who have been overlapped to continue to catch up even on safety car. To hindering leaders when they come through again.

nope. they're out. both cars massively off the pace and over 1 second outside the 107% cut-off

they'd just be moving road-blocks anyway

[GTR32X]

Yep their out!!!!

Man this year is going to be a very interesting year to watch...

Looks like Mercedes is the ones who has set the pace.

Very surprised that Grosjean was 3rd in Q3 but good on him.

[tweety bird]

good call on the hrt.

now, just one more day of that flog.

[Roy]

Massa being so much slower isnt encouraging. He really needed to come out fighting this year....not a good start. Would love to see him go long and take out Hamo coming out of the pit

[tweety bird]

massa's as good as gone.

[Roy]

So is Vettel. Webber out qualified him with no KERS. I shall from this day forward refer Vettle to Cougar, he was holding on too tight. He has lost his edge.

Meanwhile, my man of the match for Quali ...

if anybody was really looking he did the job alongside Alonso in a shit car in his first few races with no testing and less experience then he has these days. I really want to believe I can wear my Lotus jacket with pride

If only he had dropped Homo whilst he was standing so close

[tweety bird]

todays race should be a good shakedown race for kimi, i don't expect him to do that well, but he'll get there soon.

Romain Grosjean was a huge shock for me, i expected him to be back with Daniel (Daniel did good in his own right by beating his teammate).

the only bad part about massa being so far back is he has no chance to takeout the sob.

3 Seconds of GroupA/C on one of the TVs in the background - give us more!!!

[hrd-hr30]

very interesting qualy - good to see it all mixed up this year. Grosjean did an awesome job, so did Maldonardo - nice to see the Williams back up there too. And Hulkenberg. Schumacher consistently outpaced Rosberg through Practice and Qualy too. Now we just need one of his storming starts and watch Lewis tear up with memories of Monza lol... I don't think he'll be an easy beat this year bring on the race!

[sh@un]

Looks like Mercedes is the ones who has set the pace.

by not even getting one car in the top 3 for quali- how do you figure??

very promising start to Grojean's campaign

That's about how long we were out there before the car shit itself!

[Chris-06R]

Bad luck, you guys running the hr31 or 32 or both?
