Yeap, just watched the qualifying session on TV just now. Mark Webber, in my opinion, ran a great lap and I really want to see the race tomorrow. I hope he does well, a podium finish maybe?

I was teh sad on what happened to Alonso. I had high hopes for him, but seeing that car spin out of the track just broke my heart. Damn slippery corner.

And I'm disappointed with McLaren.

BTW - You are the definition of professionalism (?) d00d!

 

[millencolin]

hell ya...i am professional..........NOT

hopefully that podium that he so deserves comes his way...go webber

 

[Solid Lifters]

Damn it! Alonso 18th? He spun out? Damn!

Oh well, that's the way it goes. I really want him to take it all this year.

Slidey.................... boo hoo, Alonso.

Go taku, go slide

Not another bloody(red) fest

With a bit of green

IMO, that was phenominal from Webber. And Kline didn't do too badly to get the Jag 13th posisiton as well.
I'm really intrigued now at what stratergy Jaguar are running for tommorow.
Also interesting to see Webber being the only michelin runner to split the Ferraris. Hmm... I wonder if it's gonna be another Hungary.

Hungary? Yum! Yum! Nice to watch for a change.

It doesn't matter if Ferrari wins, just that there are overtaking and not a BIG gap(<5sec is nice) like in Melbourne.
