HAMILTON GETS POLE!!!!!

Hamilton
Raikonen
Massa
Alonso
Kovaleinen

Should be a great start, as the commentators said, Hamilton is swamped by people very very desperate to beat him. Massa must be fuelled for a couple more laps me thinks - hard to tell as ITV only showed about the final ten seconds of his flying lap. Felt sorry for Kubica, that's his glimmer of hop gone.

excellent pole from Hamilton ! I hope he can get the job done tomorrow, but I think it's gonna be an interesting race to watch as Raikonen, Hamilton, Kovalainen, Massa and Alonso were all pretty fast.

Good to see Pedrosa taking pole as well, it's about time those repsol Honda's are moving more to the front of the pack.

Standard F1 engines coming in 2010. BBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

yep, I agree, and I also don't think this rule will ever gonna happen, I cannot imagine teams like Ferrari, Mercedes, BMW, Renault etc are gonna race with the same engine....
it would destroy the whole principle of the F1, if they wan't to safe money let them make engines that last 4 instead of 2 races and put steel brake disc on these cars...

Pedrosa's on Bridgestones now, amazing the difference eh - they are now the sole tyre supplier for 2010 in Moto GP.

Force India are retaining Sutil and Fisichella for 2009 if anyone missed the news yesterday.

Rossi for the win tomorrow. The man is riding on another level this season and already winning the title hasn't stopped him. Go Rossi!

[VR46]

Yep, he'll have the lead by about the eighth lap then show 'em how it's done

Good start to the morning tomorrow. F1 is straight after the Moto Gp.

So there's a couple of hours to go. It's 12:50 here in the States. Anyone else hanging about to watch the race?

[Richard.John]

Just one hour behind for me!

Yup. Get on hounds until it starts!

[Paulos G]

Heh. I would do but I don't think Mrs G would be too happy with the noise I make! Gonna watch the Moto GP.

[Paulos G]

Also, I don't think I'm quite in a fit state to pilot a Hound at this moment.

[Richard.John]

Hound??

[Paulos G]

Hound as in Chromehounds. About to watch the Moto GP. Need more coffee!!!

[Paulos G]

BTW, what time does the main event start?
