Hammys helmet is gorgeous. Hardly any yellow, and its good!

Be worried about his rear right though a lil bit.

I wonder how many points Pastor would have if you converted qualifying positions into points? Surely over 100...

I think that if all the F1 circuits were street circuits and if the guy had a brain, Maldonado could be a world champion in that kind of scenario.

Maybe Pastor would be good in IndyCars then? Lots of street tracks over there.

Interesting to see them broadcasting the press conference.

Always rated him well Pastor, and he has had a lot of stick, way more than he deserves.

They need now to find something wrong on Hamilton's car and give him a penalty, and let Maldonado start from P1 :D

If you turned qualifying results into points, Maldonado would have 90 'Saturday' points.

"The last time Mclaren took 4 straight poles was in the last century - Mika Hakkinen in 1999"

Wow!

Wow

"Over the last couple of races we deliberately stopped sending out press releases because, truthfully, we did not believe our performance was giving us anything worth reporting. However, today’s qualifying performance has begun to give me confidence that we are back on the path to the promised land of the midfield and we have another six races to continue to extract the pace that is in the upgrades we have put on the car." - Tony Fernandes

I'll continue the trend, wow... But look at how close Glock was to Kovalainen. Consider Marussia don't have KERS, don't have Renault engines and don't have parts from Red Bull like Caterham. That's a great performance from them and Caterham continue to be a disappointment.

Marussia are improving. 2014 has to be the aim for them. I believe that Pat Symonds is doing a very good job over there.

Caterham moved base, so they're starting all over again :roll::

I don't agree with people complaining about Mercedes not setting times in Q3. It's likely that if they had they'd still have been 9th and 10th. For me it's more interesting to have them starting there on a different strategy than have them starting there on Super Softs like everyone else. Even setting times on Softs would have added nothing. Of course, this being Mercedes it is likely to be a c**p strategy. :p

Mark Webber escaped with just a reprimand after impeding Timo Glock in Q1.
