Yeah I was no big fan of Alonso's behaviour last year, but I'd much rather have him challenging for the championship than Raikkonen, Ferrari might as well have a cardboard cut-out driving their car.

This always makes me laugh.

I believe Pele's presentation was to Michael Schumacher.

[Alastair]

Proof indeed that he does have a personality

That was a classic Kimi moment. You can't really imagine Lewis coming out with such a line.

Just a reminder that F1 qualifying is on in about half-an-hour folks.

mosely thing was a big old fuss about nothing in the end.

[Rossco]

Yeahhhhhhhhh! Awesome lap by LH to finish the session off and grab pole! Wooop woop!

[PeteJ]

What a lap!

Should be a good race with the track falling apart!

It'll be a nightmare tomorrow. I'd imagine many people will fall off the track. Shame Webber did that at the end of Q2. He's making DC look like a right muppet at the moment. Although you could argue DC does that himself.

Kimi is a legend, the best driver, not an F1 obsessed bore and his off track exploits are interesting to say the least.

Amazing final lap by Hamilton, so far ahead of Kubica and the Ferrari's it's almost strange.

What do you mean? An earthquake's heading for tomorrow?

A legend? The only thing that's legendary about him is how boring and dull he is. So he got drunk a couple of times... wow(!) I don't think you could even say there's a single best driver just now, I think it was hilarious how much of a panning Massa was getting at the start of season compared to the "ice-man" (read: cardboard-cutout) when really, Raikonnen has been off the track plenty of times this year alone, especially in Australia when he made more than one unforced trip off the track, not to mention shunting Sutil off at Monaco.

[Malc]

I don't like Kimi either, he's not committed to any team he's been with, and is generally boring and dull. The only thing that amused me is when Brundle was doing the grid walk pre-race, he asked Kimi why he was late out, he replied with: "I was taking a s***!"

[Paulos G]

Great lap by LH at the end. Be interesting to see what the fuel loads are like in the race.

[Richard.John]

I think LH will be in big **** for that. Ignored a red light and caused an avoidable accident under SC conditions.
