Vettel's gonna have his mirrors full down to turn one. Those Ferrari's are gonna breathe down his neck. Alonso's gonna lead by turn 4. Kimi doesn't have a chance to win tomorrow, given his 3 spot penalty. Gonna be a great race

Don't be so sure.

I can understand Nico being a second behind Lewis and Checo being a second behind Jenson. Fred being out qualified by Massa again was a surprise but WTF is Webber doing 2.5 seconds back from Seb???

Mark's radio wasn't working, so he didn't get the call to go for a new set of Inters. Seb did, and got fresh rubber, Mark stayed out on old rubber, hence the difference.

They've been team-mates now for long enough that we know that Mark can match Vettel about 45% at least in quali. Last year the quali results were only 11-9 in Seb's favour.

I can't believe Kimi got a penalty for this: Malaysia 13 Qualifying - Raikkonen Rosberg Blocking Incident - YouTube !!

Where was Kimi supposed to go with Sutil next to him? I guess Kimi should have used The Matrix to get out of Rosberg's way.

Wow! Indeed, I have no idea what Kimi could have done that would have been safe! Brings to mind Senna at that Suzuka chicane in 1989.

Thanks for posting that.

Lotus reported that Raikkonen only impeded the Mercedes accidentally because he was suffering from a hydraulics problem.

The team are yet to decide whether to lodge an appeal.

It's clear from the video that Kimi was on the racing line causing NR to lift. That's blocking!

Oh, please! That's merely bad luck, and nothing intentional. What the hell was Kimi supposed to do? Sutil was next to Kimi, and Rosberg closing up on them both at a higher rate of speed.

Edit: Go to bed Taz. It's passed midnight. 1am race start? Ha! I'm going to sleep.

The Stewards found that Rosberg, who qualified 6th, had been unnecessarily hindered between Turns 12 and 15 by Raikkonen.
