:rolleyes:

not really representative given most of the session was red flagged - 26 minutes missing of the session, only 5 mins running at the end, hardly anyone had set anything note at the start of the session - mostly just installation laps as per normal 1st 10-15mins of a practice session.

qually should give us the best idea so far how far Luca really is behind the game - i don't expect much at all for Valencia, if he's still over a second behind Kimi at Spa and Monza then he'll be lucky to retain the reserve position until Massa returns

i don't smoke - i'm training for a half marathon so the 2 don't really go hand in hand, plus i'd like to live past 60 and still be able to walk up slight hills or stairs

hence why it wasn't really representative - the times are pretty much meaningless due to the total lack of running. maybe a couple of people got a couple of clear laps at he end but everyones running was severely hampered

well this year a couple of times a ferrari hasn't made it out of Q1, whilst the other hasn't done amazingly either.

i'll go out on a limb and same, combined, the Ferrari Qually won't be the worst even this year, even if Badoer is right at the back

There you have it!
Dead last and 1.5 seconds slower than 19th placed Alguersuari, a rookie with only one F1 race under his belt!
Not a surprise given that he is missing almost every apex by quite a few meters.
This driver choice is a disgrace for Ferrari. :mad:

i said wait for qually, i waited, he was shocking, apparently he was 6 tenths up on his best lap on the last lap but screwed up the last corner, that still would have left him best part of a second off the back.

i maintain that Bourdais should be in that seat - he knows the tracks, he's managed by Todt Jnr, he's free, he's not piquet, what more could you want!

Well, that really was awful. But so what? No need to get worked up about it. It's one driver not doing well in qualifying for a motor race, not a massacre of children.

Only that we are not watching a Unesco charity show but a F1 race where every point in the constructors championship costs a team millions, millions that Badoer is obvioulsy not worth.
