Should bring up a comparison with his former engineer, Jock Clear...

Senna in the Wall of Champions - does he now have a chance of winning a championship?

What's the point of having a commentary team for sessions that the BBC don't cover at all, to my knowledge, on any medium?

Why does Jacques look like....

Actually I don't know what he looks like. He looks like Blaine from Pokémon.

Like a lame version of Vin Diesel.

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

Add Maldonado to that list. I think it's a sign that Williams ARE going to be champions again one day.

For the second race in a row, Pastor Maldonado gives Williams a lot of work to do.

What a funny slide it was!

I always feel empty inside every time Vettel gets pole...

I'm sure that's quite satisfying for Horner and Newey to be on pole after all the controversy.

Disappointing from Kimi, his form - but hopefully not his motivation - has really dropped off from Monaco onwards.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the race, maybe we'll finally get the first ever Vettel-Hamilton-Alonso podium.

Kimi had a differential problem all session. I was reading @F1PitRadio throughout qualifying and it cropped up early on. It's not something you can fix in the middle of a session.

Same, I think its because the chances of an entertaining race at the front drop to almost 0. he'll have a 3s lead by lap 3 then just stay there til the end of the race.

schumacher had crossed the line 0.04 sec. after the session was over. WTF is going on with that man. I would udnerstand him being sow. i would even accept if he had crossed the line1-2-3 sec. after the chequered flag. But 0.04 sec. and then setting his personal fastest 1st sector..... man thats one hell of a season for him.

Mercedes starts to look like they would have hired Schumi just to sabotage his driving. All the time wheels falling off and all possible other similar @#$%& in every gp..

Ross described it as an 'Operational Error', Schumacher's going through a bit of a 'Hamilton' phase with this team at the moment.

There's no doubt he'll suffer damage right in the middle of the pack for turn 1 and 2 :
A) because he's aggressive and in a quicker car, and
B) because he'll expect the younger guys to react a certain way, but they won't.

Not all the blame is on Merc though, Schumie should have gone all out on his first run.

Looking forward to a good fight from the top 3 though!

no, actually that was the approach they took, one average lap to het the tyres an then the hotlap, Nico did it and Michael did his first one, but didn't make it when he was starting his hot lap.

it must be frustrating as hell, really, even Nico seemed dissapointed just to miss fp3, i wonder what he'd be saying if he was the one having so many problems.

but the guy is a warrior, if he survives the first lap i can see him pulling one of the best races yet.

imho Alonso is going to win, at least fight hard for it, the guy's been incredible for a while, and judging by Massa's pace, it seems the car is better now so rivals should be scared

Yeah, I saw that afterwards. He still seemed to be having a quiet weekend though, and then there was the ridiculous situation with the steering on Thursday at Monaco. Hopefully Kimi has a good race.
