Wow very good effort by both RBR drivers in Q3.

We have Vettel in pole with 1:36.1

and mark Webber in 3rd with 1:36.4 with Alonso splitting them in 2nd.

Lets just hope now that Mark makes it through the first corner without incident.

I liked how in the conference Webber said its good to have Vettel, or the "young guy" pushing him this season.

What is the bet Alonso will be a huge pain in the ass for the RBR guys, and i am guessing is the lightest based on his practice and Q2 pace. SO if Mark cant clear him then he will instantly be back around 5th or 6th as i think the RBR cars are lighter then the Brawns as well and will be jumped in pit stops.

LOL, i dont even need to watch the race, i know what going to happen already:)

But, i would not be surprised if Vettel picks up his second GP win tomorrow with Webz on for a 4th, maybe a podium

Damn missed qualy since it was on so early.

When do they post car weights?

Alonso did time 7 tenths faster in q2 so shouldnt be too light. Hope the new-improved R29 without kers is more competitive.

Great to see RedBull up there :)

Do we have a list of the teams who have already modified their diffusers?

1. Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull, 644kg

2. Fernando Alonso, Renault, 637

3. Mark Webber, Red Bull, 646.5

4. Rubens Barrichello, Brawn GP, 661

5. Jenson Button, Brawn GP, 659

6. Jarno Trulli, Toyota, 664.5

7. Nico Rosberg, Williams, 650.5

8. Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari, 673.5

9. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, 679

10. Sebastien Buemi, Toro Rosso, 673

11. Nick Heidfeld, BMW Sauber, 679

12. Heikki Kovalainen, McLaren, 697

13. Felipe Massa, Ferrari, 690

14. Kazuki Nakajima, Williams, 682.7

15. Sebastien Bourdais, Toro Rosso, 690

16. Nelson Piquet, Renault, 697.9

17. Robert Kubica, BMW Sauber, 659

18. Adrian Sutil, Force India, 648

19. Timo Glock, Toyota, 652

20. Giancarlo Fisichella, Force India, 679.5

So Vettel has now out quaoified Webber 3-0, if you include fuel its probably 2-1. Old Rubens fuelled heavier but with a better lap looks good for the win if he can get off the line and capitalise on all the mess that will result from Webber going backwards off the line :)

Come on Webber, would so love to see him get a win

Depends where you qualify. If you havea quick car and stuck in traffic then you are losing tenths of not seconds each lap. Throw a light fuel load in, soft tyres and have a go at getting on the front two rows and getting a stormer of a start and try to do a bit of a dash.

If you pit 7 laps into the race you are going to come out at the tail of the field with no traffic to hold you up meaning you can punch out laps as quick as tyre conservation will allow. IF you come up on a car then they will be back markers so easier to pass, and the cars ahead will be peeling off ahead of you. Then at the end of the race your car will be at its quickest and ready to race while everybody else will be carrying a wounded car on shit tyres.

Trust me, i am the supreme son of rajab of strategy :P

Looks exactly like what RBR and Alonso have done.. fuel it light and try to dash away at the start. We'll find out soon if it works for them! My tip is the Brawn cars to menace them until they pit and then leapfrog them after the stops (as you said later). I don't feel that an early pit stop is a good option but I'm happy to be proven wrong!! ;)

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
