Brawn:

Lewis was looking OK, and unfortunately caught a kerb and damaged the car underneath and broke the floor, and we didn’t realise the consequence of that until a bit later in the session

Floor damage hampered Hamilton, says Brawn | Adam Cooper's F1 Blog
@ Steve, I think the predicted chance of rain has been reduced, although it may be still in the cards.
I think we may be in for an interesting race with The Boss charging from mid field Kimi and Rogro with probably the best chance of a strong one stopper, Hulk starting at the front, and Webber with his typical starting/ technical issues

Haven't had the chance to see qualifying, but it is clear from the result that Ferrari have to forget this year's title.

Last year, Vettel had a great car to use to close down a points gap.

Unless Raikkonen and Hamilton are going to repay their debts from last year and take Deb out at every first corner from here to Interlagos, then it's clear that Ferrari do not jave the car, and the ability to make a car, capable of taking the fight.

Shame on you Luca. This is your fault. Promotion based on nationality to try to build your own political aspiration at the cost of my beloved Scuderia is a insult to Mr Ferrari's legacy.

Enzo cared only for winning, not how many votes a pipe-dream might bring.

I meant Seb. Keyboard user malfunction.

I agree Doc. Should be a great Race no matter what, however just Seb and this title needs a challenge. So I hope someone gets ahead of him at Turn 1 and makes a race of it.

They wont even make it to the grid is my off the wall prediction. A crash being pushed to their grid slots. http://www.motorsportforums.com/imag...ies/tongue.gif

The FIA need to do something about the slip streaming tactic loop hole being used by Ferrari in Qually. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing Ferrari, I'd do it myself if I was team boss... but c'mon FIA, lets close the loop hole and let Qually be about what it should be.

Why would they outlaw the tactic if it clearly doesn't work anyway?

Both were on a flying lap. That can't be counting as blocking, can it?

If that was Sutil's idea of 'flying lap pace' then he deserves to be dead last!
