Couldn't agree more. Also, Webber is not happy at all.

I'm happy for a Vettel pole, but I realize that it's only thanks to the rain. I'm pretty sure that tomorrow he will be overtaken by both Ferraris in the blink of an eye. Which is sad...
However, that being said, I hope Ferrari will let Massa do his thing and won't interfere. That guy deserves a win or at least a podium, even if that means that he beats Alonso. :)

Speaking of Massa. Awkward behavior in the press conference, or was it just me? Probably Stefano has told him that he has to let a certain driver pass him in the race :O

I will be so mad if that's the case. I mean I - kinda - understood the situation last year, because Alonso was obviously fighting for the championship. But this is a new year with a clean slate, and so far Massa is doing really well.

I'm just so impressed by Bianchi. You can say that it's because STR and Williams slipped back but even so, he's only 1.6s slower than the best Q1 time and he was so much quicker than the other guys at the back.

It sounded like he was losing his voice.

Anyone know why the McLaren PR people have pink shirts?

McLaren has female clothing apparently. You can buy them from their eshop...

Yeah, the guy is a nice surprise (for me at least). And it shows that most talk about drivers' talent and ability is just speculation or bs tbh. Wasn't there talk about Bianchi not being taken up by Ferrari, because he didn't impress in the simulator?
I want to hear Webber now.

Ferrari rated Bianchi as better than Perez I believe.

Look at the times: Vergne 1:38.1, Bottas 1:38.2, Bianchi 1:38.4, Pic 1:39.3, Chilton 1:39.6

Both Marussia/Caterham have progressed, but Bianchi's time is just staggering.

Seems like no one can stop Vettel,0.9 seconds faster than Massa, biggest gap in qualifying that i can remember.

And what's wrong with Webber? He's 2.5 seconds slower than his team mate,and they have the same car! i don't know may be there was a problem with the car (he has KERS failure until proven otherwise!) but that's a huge gap.

A great quali for Massa,his first front row start since Germany 2010,what if he wins...

Bad luck for Force India,they were really fast in dry...

and Bianchi continues to impress...
A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor.

Webber didn't get over the line in time to start his last lap.
