Red Bull

Rosberg has to sit out this weekend due to food poisoning, which was discovered early in the morning, meaning Neel Jani will fill him in. We wish Nico a speedy recovery. From what we can see, he’s doing decently.

Toro Rosso

We expect similar performance like in the previous race, so not much to hope for in qualifying

Williams

Looks like a good pace from Nick. We might expect a tight battle involving us and among the others in qualifying. Jose kinda far off from the grand-scheme of things but it's fine overall.

Spyker

Andre looks to be improving quite fine as we hoped for. Hopefully if we go for a good result we might be at least going for something.

McLaren

Another tricky session for both drivers, beginning to hurt us how far off the pace they both are

Red Bull

A bad day for us, our drivers will have to work hard to gain positions.

Toro Rosso

We hope Kobayashi can have a good start tomorrow.

McLaren

Great qualifying for both cars inside the top 8 - chance for Robert to score his first points of the season

Honda

Brilliant quali for Sato again, both drivers are on song starting in the top 10, hoping we can score our first double points of the season.

Obviously you have to question whats going on with Alonso and Montoya today as well, to be that far ahead of the field is quite astonishing given how tight things have been this season.

Williams

Very good qualifying from Felipe in P3. It doesn't look quite good for Nick though whose just outside top 10. Hopefully we have a good race from there to score good points.

Spyker

Not quite of a good qualifying to expect from us. We might be in a damage limitation unless if anything dramatic happens.

Red Bull

Could’ve been much better.

Toro Rosso

We could’ve finished in a good position.

Williams

Felipe made a fantastic start but later he couldn't hold on for 1st from Montoya. Nick has had his terrible race after colliding with Sato but did recover nicely. Just not what he wanted to satisfy in front of German crowds today.

Spyker

We already knew it'll be damage limitation for us as we predicted yesterday. However it's an ok result for Timo, although we have so much work to do ahead.

McLaren

Great drive from both drivers, double points scoring race. Both title challenges are on

Toyota

Great to see Jenson on the podium but Lewis needs to step it up.

Williams

Very convincing lap time from Nick again. Jose also manages to improve greatly today. It's gonna be a close fight ahead and hopefully we get a good result in qualifying.

Spyker

Good signs for us. We are somewhat still in a difficult position at the moment but it could set up things interesting ahead of qualifying. We hope for something good here.

McLaren

Standard practice session from the guys, roll on qualifiying

Red Bull

Not the best of sessions

Toro Rosso

A great lap from Jani, but we shouldn’t expect much.

Red Bull

What a lap from Kimi, we didn’t expect such a performance from him. Rosberg should improve a lot.

Toro Rosso

It wasn’t a surprise, maybe we’ll manage to finish in the top 15

Williams

Yikes, that's gotta hurt us. Our pace in quali wasn't very good at all today, and it puts us right in a difficult place to fight for points. It's going to be challenging.

Spyker

Andre with a surprising P9 to split the Williams cars is an amazing stuff. Hopefully with a bit of good luck maybe we can score points from here.
