Yes, Kimi will be a big threat, the toyotas are looking good. The Williams are doing ok, Not bad from Webber with such limited track time The AGG., times are going to be interesting
Thanks for your work,yet again

Kimi just great! as Toyota!!
tomorrow will be indeed very interesting!!
Montoya nowhere... as ferrari...

Not a problem guys.

This is the closest qualifying so far. And the Toyotas are very strong here considering that Ralf Schumacher is just 75 thousandths off Trulli!

I am wondering if just a couple of degrees of track temp is favouring specific cars once it gets over 29-30c

Looks like the bridgestone are made for 'mid-race', but if then the track temp will be >35?C, they'll begin to melt badly... =/

Looks like the bridgestone are made for cold 'mid-race'...

Oh Alonso The Cute missed out by a fraction. Hopefully he'll make it up tomorrow. Kimi looks strong too!

Michael in 7th
Montoya in 12th
Villeneuve in 14th There goes in 8 'n' Pole

Should be a good delayed race

Good Luck All

On Rubens engine change. Ross Brawn said

As for the problem which led us to change the engine in Rubens? car, it is not one we have seen before, so we will be investigating further to discover the cause

Team Quotes following Saturday Qualifying are now available here

Reliability of Williams and Ferarri is hurting them badly in the constructors World Championship.
NH changed engine twice and again (!!) problems on Rubens' car...

Pat Symonds makes the point that temperatures are going to affect the different cars in diffrent ways. Reading between the lines in the michelin report, getting to race end with viable tyres could be interesting for their runners! The problems that Barrichello is having race after race suggests that Ferrari are really pushing development on the fly, he is being a test driver at the races, and paying the penalty for doing so.

yeah, only in this weekend he has had already 2 problems, it was hidraulics first now the engine... it indeed looks like he's just testing parts for MS... althought, of course, i could be just bad luck

The fact that he is having problems with differing mechanical bits makes me think what I think

All I can say is poor Barrichello.

Kapel gets angry when I say he is Michael's helper but how can you explain this ? Isn't this a brand new engine for this race ? And it blows up just from a few laps in practice
This is Ferrari we are talking not Honda

I dont think Kappy gets angry at you, he just gets angry because Barri. doesn't get to race.
But Barri.. new what he was signing when he put pen to contract
