crazy q3... That last 2mins was great, have to find the onboard clips of the RBRs and Macs they would be some great viewing..

Hopefully Mark can either get the jump at the start (not holding my breath but possible) or go off like a madman on a different strategy for the win..

It sure was! All the teams came out of q3 with about 2 min to go and every subsequent driver kept raising the bar, culminating with vettel at the end with the pole.

It was a great qualy, for sure. I stupidly traded away Petrov for Schumi last night, thinking rain + tire chaos = shrewd race for the wily old veteran ... but he doesn't even look like he's trying any more.

That first corner will look awfully small, I think, with 4 cars trying to occupy 1 racing line.

I decided to shake the team up a bit...went with WEB/HAM/MAS. Losing the pole sucks, but will see how it works out. Didn't feel too comfortable with Petrov.

It's amazing how vet/ham and web/bou are evenly matched. RBR and mclaren are a step ahead of everyone right now. I think RBR is on top but mclaren is closing ground REAL fast. Ferrari has work to do but I would never count them out.

I traded Alonso for Webber this week so now I have the two drinks cars and Massa in the lineup.

Poor Alonso - he was just staring at the times after the race as if in dismay. I bet this wasn't what he expected when he signed the contract with Ferrari.
