    OzGP Qualifying, Race thread

    Today I got reminded why in 2006 I thought Raikkonen may never win the title! Disappointing. :\
    Webbo must have run over a giant black cat on his way to the track this morning. That guy has atrocious luck.

    Good stuff from Kubica though... we were only a wee little slide away from a Pole on Pole. On Friday no one though the BMW's would be up there either - good stuff!

    Code:

    In qualifyings like this I forget that I am a Ferrari fan. Naturally I am gutted for Kimi and hope that Massa can have good race tomorrow. But the qualy was absolutely stunning. I watched the BMWs with amazement and I think that they can become even more competitive with foreseable future. Lewis drove like a man possesed and Heiki was very fast. McLaren deserve congratulations that they managed to stay competitive after the draconian penaltis they suffered. I feel sad for Alonso and Nelson and I hope that Renault will be able to strike back.
    The race tomorrow will be amazing. Between Top 5 I have no idea who will win, honestly. I think that Hedfeld could be a lot heavier and the battle between Lewis and Kubica will be intense since both are young and ambitious.
    The Formula 1 is the biggest winner today.

    I agree. If the lack of TC is the cause of all this variation and visual entertainment, then we are in for a great season!

    At least Fernando has a BIG plus out of all this : he ain't got a team mate to worry him, period!!
    When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

    LOL that's harsh...but true...but harsh

    But let's see what happens in the race, Renaults are pretty durable and racing is a bit different than quali. I expect Alonso to score points and interested to see how NPJr performs.

    It's times like these I wish I had access to at least 7 on board feeds to track the progress of various drivers. I'm left with the F1 site's lvie timing
    you can't argue with results.

    It was certainly an interesting qualifying session. Raikkonen must be absolutely gutted, having to start from row 8. Hamilton will be elated because his main threat (the Ferraris) didn't perform as well as expected. I think the BMW's may surprise a few people in the race.

    BMW are awesome. If they can improve the car as with williams in 2003, Ferrari and McLaren may face their match.

    It seems that the qualy was excellent for McLaren Mercedes, good for BMW, bad for Ferrari and disastrous for Renault.
