Nice effort Ferrari, one stoppers all round I reckon.

Jordan and Coulthard are getting on my tits already. Can't the show just start ten minutes before qualy/the race? I hate unnecessary build up in sport. They're doing too many 'explainy' bits too. ITV are not a good exemplar!

Jordan got on my tits last weekend but he seemed better today, hopefully he's been told to calm down, also I like Coulthard. If you don't like the pre race stuff then just tune in 10 mins before start time

I wouldn't say Ferraris put in a nice effort tbh Raikkonen is fueled for two stops so was just plain not fast. He's been having KERS issues all weekend and I don't think he ran with it in his last lap. If it's not sorted by tomorrow I doubt he'll jump forward at the start again and could just be stuck in traffic. Also, Massa.... wtf That's all that can be said really.

Again, not a super light car for Jenson. Damn that boy/car is quick. Suprised to see Vettle as light as he is considering he'll be starting from 13th. Maybe hoping for early rain?.

He had a 10 place grid penalty following the incident with Kubica last weekend.

I know, hence why I'm surprised he's running so light. The rest of the guys around the mid-field are gonna be on 1 stop, so maybe Red Bull are hoping for rain to pull a cheeky 3 stop shuffle around.

Yep, I've already started muting between sessions like I did with the ads. Filling up time with forced nonsense is zzz.

I actually enjoy their opinions and thoughts pre and post qualifying/race. It's nice to hear some professionals talk about what went wrong or right for the drivers and I prefer BBC's trio of presenters rather than ITV's last set of people.

The amount of nonsense EJ talks is almost comical, I guess we needed a replacement for Blundells unique take on the English language. I wasn't looking forward to Coulthard being part of the BBC team but I think he actually works quite well as a pundit. Jake Humphrey could get run over by a bus and I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. It's great to have Ted Kravitz back; I loved when he was quizzing Whitmarsh about the Hamilton/Trulli debacle.

Massa got done up like a kipper though. He must have been fuming with his "advisors". Kimi must be fuelled pretty heavy, though don't know about one stopping, that means have the super soft tyres on for too long surely?

Today's 2 hour 30 minute show for qualifying was far too OTT, Sky+ it, watch it as soon as it's finished and job done in 40 minutes.

Check out the weights linked above, he aint fuelled for a 1 stop

Good was getting worried for a minute. He'll probably bin it before the first pit-stop anyway lol.

[NecronomiconUK]

Fingers crossed, as much as I have warmed to Massa of late, hopefully another nil points for Maranello
