I think we are now going to see just how good a driver Vettel really is. Don't get me wrong he can drive but as I said all last season, his success was largely down to the car (something he admits himself).

We know he can drive, now we will find out if he can race :driver: I just hope McLaren can keep building on this.

Completely agree!!

Couldn't help but notice the look of relief on Webbers face after vettel only managed to place Sixth.

I'm a Mclaren fan so that's good news.  Impressed with the Mercs as well.

Watching the Spaniard stick a wheel on the grass, and slide (not so majestically) from the track has made my day so far. :signLOL:

omg...this is going to be an amazing season  :jumping:

stunning drive from schumie too, slightly overlooked i think, im not a fan of his but that was some drive - will be interesting to see what the protest from redbull and lotus does to effect the standings  :popcornsoda:

button pure class as always and "man of the match" for me goes to Kobayashi...right up the pack into midfield!

Finally got round to seeing qualifying. OMG, it was like a Lotus track day, cant believe how much side-ways action there was.  :chicken:
Dont want to be the harbinger of doom but if they dont settle down and find some grip i can see a major crash going down.  :driver:

Well im not sure that could have gone any better Mclaren lockout the front row, Vettel 6th and Webber out qualifying him and Gonzo spitting his dumby out because the marshalls wouldnt push him back on track.

Lets hope Mclarens race pace is even quicker it normally is. I fancy mercedes to be a little slower in the race as they carnt use that drs f duct thingy for the whole lap.

The Mclaren looked pretty formidable though, very smooth round the track unlike most other cars during qualifying, almost looked easy for them, kinda like redbull over the last two years!

Carnt wait to see what Vettel is really made of now he actually has to race, i reckon hes gonna bin it, then go crying to adrian newey to make him look like a world beater again.

Judging by the lack of grip there will be more than one safety car tomorrow.

I think Lewis and Jenson should just drive the whole race side by side and not let anyone pass  :grin:

Seriously though I would love to see a McLaren 1-2 and Alonso to crash :happy2:

Well done JB  :congrats: :congrats:

Shame Vettel needed the Safety Car to jump Hamilton. Hopefully we can get a McLaren 1-2 in Malaysia  :happy2:
