There isn't enough time for Michael now. He will start from 10th if the engine is fine.

Michael gets out of his car!

Massa is very happy with his pole position. Raikkonen is second and Trulli is 3rd.
Alonso, Barrichello, Fisichella, R Schumacher, Heidfeld, Kubica and M Schumacher make the top 10.

Massa's racing suit is not in the usual Ferrari colours but in the colours of the Brazilian flag!

For the sake of the race I think that it's a pity MS car problems prevented him from getting a chance to claim pole. :( What little chance he did have has just got alot worse.

Ferrari starting to have mechanical problems and with Kimi driving for them next year. :flag:

It seems the problem with Michael's car was fuel pressure related.

Although this makes it easier for Alonso, I don't like to see mechanical failures deciding the result. But that is racing I suppose!

Looking forward to a clean race and I think I will be watching this one LIVE :D :D
I'll just go to bed with the kids :shock:
I'm back and yes supporting Alonso "The Cute" in the Ferrari!
