We have the most topsy turvy grid I think I've ever seen for a normal qualifying session. We could be on for a very exciting race. I certainly wouldn't want to make any prediction for the result.

TRULLI FTW

I'd like to see that.

I'll make a prediction: this is going to be EPIC.

Trulli for a win and Force India to score points in this race, hopefully a podium position.

-KB

I'd love to see Fisi win, but doubt whether it can happen. Trulli will be a big threat, especially as he qualified relatively heavy.

Overtaking today

That was bloody cheeky driving from Kimi there.

wtf was that from Kimi

WAT HAPPENED!!!!111

Bloody hell. Fifth of the field out and a number of wing changes needed.

Jesus te
he Red Bulls launched like rocket ships ... what the hell? Webber passing people left right and centre.

Surely, that's not allowed?

KIMI went deliberately off road to pass 4 cars...

Very slow starts from Button, Barrichello and Hamilton.

Grosjean, what an idiot...

WTF Raikkonen did? Illegaly passed some cars, and destroyed Kubica's wing. Where are the stewards?

Aaaaaaaaaa!

I'm not sure that he went off deliberately, but he certainly made a concious decision not to pull back onto the track before passing four cars. Absolutely taking the piss, if you ask me.

Grosjean is living up to its reputation from GP2.

Raikkonen really should get a stop go given past history here.

that was good.

Come on... he did not even try to stay on the track....

Agreed.

y not? He took the long way 'round.

Did Kimi get punted up the bum?

That was an AMAZING start though....he has great reflexes to juke around the stalled Rubens, avoid mayhem in turn one, and come out of the first lap running.

Guys, on lap 2, Luca BADoer is in purple. This is the last time that will ever happen....or that his name will appear on the timing screens, for that matter.

Erm, there is a chat as well.

BTW, Renault ought to be looking for another driver for the next race. Absolutely clueless driving by Grosjean. Couple of races ban ought to be obligatory.

Really p!ssed about Button, he looked good for making up places there.

why is f1.com not sending me my password?

I don't know. It's largely irrelevant, because I still think that what he did was outrageous. He should be penalised.

Kimi will breeze past Fisi up the hill.

@ people moaning a stop-and-go to kimi

get a grip. He used the longer way

Quick Nick made a couple of mistakes on that first lap.

Brakes too late and La Source and got nailed by Kubica, then went off at Les Combes.

Raik, alive and kicking

Nice one Kimi.

They just showed a slowmo there was contact between Raikkonen and Kubica

Penalised because having a p...s eh balls?

KERS advantage gets KR into first, but what a bore, completely removes the driver skill element.

No.

If something the incident will studied after the race and nothing will happen.

according to Peter Windsor Kimi caused pile up

(paper clips need straightening in N.C. ...)

Yes, its the car - the colour gives unfare competive edge too.

Hahaha! Nice One Romain!

Longer, but grippier way.

Damn shame Button is out, RB is getting past cars, I've no doubt JB could as well, and could have got some good points.

Grippier?!

Just heard Grosjean on TV, Button closed the door on him 'cause he didn't see the Renault. They had a talk after the crash, it's Button himself that told that to RG.

damn, badoer getting owned there

Damn, Jaime was having a nice weekend... Damn Grosjean.

This is the first time in a long time Kimi looks like an absolute winner (doing ballsy things and reacting, not thinking - something Hamilton seems to do a lot). Hope he get the first win for Ferrari this season, that'd be poetic justice.

Yes, It's well known that the run off area there is gripper than the track.

So ... in a few corners we 'll have Ferrari First and Last

Closed the door? The replay we saw showed JB overtaking HK and getting hit from behind.
