I liked Kimi when he was in F1 but hes not anymore and dont care about NASCAR in any form but Speed is really NASCAR tv I guess.

Can we not have a little F1 time without the other racing intrutions?
Speed TV can be annoying with their NASCAR bias, but TSN is equally annoying for those of us north of the border. I am grateful that I can watch the BBC F1 coverage through TSN (meaning no cut aways to NASCAR), but the moment qualifying finished TSN left F1 to show us baseball and hockey hi-lights.

BTW ... interesting qualifying session. I agree with Martin Brundle who was saying an extra set of options might make Q3 more interesting. But would they? Or would the teams just save them for the race. Finally as much as I am NOT a Alonso or Ferrari fan, good on Alonso and Ferrari for splitting the McLaren's on the starting grid. As usual in 2011, tomorrow's race should be good.

Hamilton and Alonso lined up right behind the Bulls!!!! Can the Bulls handle the pressure of the two best drivers on the field! Will Vettel show what he is made off or will the car make him look good again. Can Hammy and Fernando push their cars to a new level? Hammy proved it can be done in China let's see what tomorrow brings us!

Red Bull won't make the same mistake with tires twice. McLaren is fighting for third with Alonso.

Nice to see Webber take a poll. It'll be interesting to see if Vettel can overcome his Catalunya hex.

How is it that Rosberg always find that something extra over his more experienced teammate?

I love how the tires this year affect the race strategies but Im not feeling the 1 lap q3 and park it to save tires. I liked when the pole sitter was determined at the very last second with all the drivers going all out at the end of the session, but I guess we can't have it all.

Vettel did look a little pouty that he didnt get the pole. Can't wait to see the race tomorrow

Tomorrow is going to be a dogfight up and down the field, maybe the best race yet this year if you don't count Webber and Vettel taking 1-2, unless they take each other out.

Can't wait to see Hami, Alonso, Butters, Petrov and the rest of the top 9 throw it down. The 2 second gap between prime and options will make this race hairball. Q3 lap from Alonso was impressive.

Nice pole by Webber but Vettel didn't have KERS. Red Bull is clearly favoring Webber now with this new round of self-inflicted sabotage, they must really hate themselves.

Or it's Horner's rope a dope strategy, get Vettel into the points lead and then cut Webber loose, so Scuderia won't know which to cover.

Ha, that's pretty funny. Funnier if true. We were told that Vettel's KERS wasn't working but I didn't see any incar footage of Webber's working either? Furthermore, how hard would it be to disengage the meter to make it look like it wasn't working just to fox your rivals even more?

Could it be that he didn't record a lap in Q3?.... because his KERS was not working? Always better to have the facts before one speaks.

Semantics ......

Rosberg is pegging Faux7 like a 2 dollar pichara, a pity Mercedes waisted good money on him they should have gone for his faster but hapless ex-teammate Barichelllo .
