Yup. Can we make it snow, or something?

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!!!!! :)

Tomorrow should be fun.

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.

So if Maldonado were to win would that count as a freak
occurance...regardless of what else occurs?

No coincidence Sam Michael has left Williams and now McLaren keep on
fucking up.

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!

Yeah, looks like Hamilton will be penalised. Shame, it was a great
lap.

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 dont know where to go with that.

Ahhhhh, hang on....... Are you referring to the fine specimen of a man
that is Maldonado?

Considering he knew he had pole as indeed Lewis knew he did not have
it during the interviews, I'd say both showed very good qualities.

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.

I dont think he is that bad. Just had the same kind of mare Button had.
I'll give him a while.
