No one!
Bruno "I only got my drive because of my dead uncle" Senna is clearly the overrated one in that team, and I think many of us might have been guilty of thinking Pastor was just a journeyman pay-driver funded by Chavez at best.. so far, those who did, including me, have been wrong!
Fantastic. I bet Senna is pretty annoyed. Real shame the pressure got to him. I hope it means that Williams are actually now competitive. Dont give a toss if they win races, after last season I just want to see them regularly in the hunt.
Just heard, sounds like Lewis' car has a problem....... Whitmarsh is playing it down, but who knows?
Amazing qually though. Like one of the commentators said, the only thing "normal" about it was Hamilton on pole. But if his car has a issue, he might not even be there!!!! Madness.
And then, Hamilton is all good vibes, isnt he? Congratulating Maldonado warmly, then being all nice in the press conference about him and Alonso. It was amazing, I nearly believed him!!!!! :)

Hands up, guilty.
Im not going to suggest he is the next great, but he is certainly not crap. It will be interesting to see how his temperament will hold out, he is going to be under huge pressure tomorrow. He has some serious talent around him.

He doesn't seem scared of it. He certainly wasn't fazed by Hamilton in Monaco last year until they had a coming together. He chased Alonso all the way in Oz, and might have got him had he not put a wheel on the kerb. I'm quietly impressed by him...

True, he does have balls.
> I'm quietly impressed by him...
Well, I wouldn't go that far yet, but he is proving to me that he is a lot better than I ever credited him for.
Not just him though. I'm am close to shock at the progress Williams have made since last season.

Lewis definitely looks to have his head in a perfect place. I wonder how hard it was Alonso to not look bemused! lol
I don't get how Senna's car could look so awful on the track when Maldonados didn't.
I can't wait to see this drag race down to turn 1. Anything could happen there with this grid!

Senna doesn't have car-setup skills, yet Maldonado does?
It's the Schumacher syndrome again. People hired Ralf because of his name, they've done the same with Senna.. bad move.

Give the bloke (Bruno) a chance. I recall many hanging similar
comments on Pastor, now he is on pole.

I think that's a little harsh (on both Ralf and Senna), Bruno has performed
better than I expected although I concede that he has got where he is as a
result of his name, and the money that that attracts.
