Bye bye, Buemi, Alguersuari, Nakajima, Grosjean, and Badoer.
Luca was really pushing, too bad that pesky RBR (or was it a STR) got in the damn way!
Button/Hamilton/Alonso out in Q2
Fisi in Q3
Alguersuari is improving in each race. This time almost beat his team mate.
Really, that's all I can say after Q2...

Those STR cars are really good.

Fisi really wants Badoer's place.

We will have some fireworks tomorrow. Two cars with KERS in P12 and P15, Alonso, and Button who needs to make up positions as fast as possible. Nice suprise from BMW boys

Wow. 7 tenths covering the Q2 field.
Button only 14th. Toyotas, BMWs and Fisi seem really hooked up.

I wonder what's up with Button. Barrichello was quick here, so it wasn't because the track doesn't fit the car. It's a shame he's got his WDC almost guaranteed by this point, and now that Webber's engine blasted in FP3, even more.
Behold Fisi, for he has awaken to the Ferrari rumors!

I heard a rumour that Toyota brass have told the F1 team that they either win a race this season or they're out of F1.
They're going all out.

Wow Hammo out is a surprise - really thought the Mac would shine here - maybe a race saver stat as qualy isn't as important here with the big straights and KERS?

Oooh, Button P14. Still, it might be a blessing in disguise; Toyota have done some great things with Glock by running him so heavily he only needs to one-stop. If anybody can execute a brilliant strategy here, it's Ross Brawn.

Well, sometimes you need a fire under your belly to get things moving. Toyota don't want a repeat of Bahrain; that was embarrassing.

Even so the cars quality are still very very important, and Ferrari's powered cars and Ferrari itself has been pretty decent this weekend.

listening to the driver interviews on 5 Live (Cos we cannot get damn internet coverage here stateside!! grrr)
It seems sector 2 is the one causing the problems... with most who are out, Button, Alonso, Hamilton all saying they are not sure what has gone on!

Alonso said that since Q1 they knew they were not going very well. They almost expected then their position seeing other people was going faster.

Now rumours of Fisico going to Ferrari might be even bigger now

Heartly congrats to him. tomorrow's race will be very exciting. Several great dogs in the mid fields will make it even more exciting.
that's all to weird too be true, IMHO it's all about getting the tyres to work at these temperatures
