alonso is king :D
he was up 0.4 in second sector but made a small mistake in 3rd sector
look where is fisichella ? more than half second behind

trulli also good, look where ralf is ? a second behind

many drivers made mistakes

ferrari seem quicker but in race pace we'll see

enjoy alonso win tomorrow :wink:

Alonso is amazing I must say!

Kimi seems to be making too many mistakes :shock:
I hope de la Rosa keeps his cool in the race

Ferrari improved one car in terms of pace. How reliable it is we'll know tomorrow and the Birdgestones too 8)

Looks like we'll have the hottest race in F1 history :shock: :shock:

Add it to the trivia :lol: and watch the Bridgestones melt

Yeah poor Barrichello. No one deserves to be put through such a situation.

Alonso, Trulli, Raikkonen top 3 tomorrow!

Michael retires with gearbox problems :shock:

The same old story...

It?s a shame Ferrari hasn't brought extra pieces to its gearbox.

Nevertheless... take care, Renault: Ferrari's strategy is unbeatable!

Salud everybody!
I greet you saying that I enjoy your insightful remarks very much.
Do you all agree with Alonso when saying that Trulli is the fastest driver on a single lap? :?
