Alonso not improving, half a second down. Oh dear.

**Lithium** · 10th October 2010, 03:00

Damn Kubica!!!!! Nooo...

**Kyss4k** · 10th October 2010, 03:01

Kubica

**tifoso SF** · 10th October 2010, 03:02

looking bad... oh dear

**SanderV** · 10th October 2010, 03:02

Disappointing session but I think Alonso did the maximum. Look at Kubica in 4th...

**Ste** · 10th October 2010, 03:02

Well, lets hope that our race pace is better than our Qualifying pace. Alonso lines up 4th but has Kubica between him and Webber. Not great.

**Lithium** · 10th October 2010, 03:03

Well at least ALO is ahead of Button, still second row then... Phew... I hope Bob will let Nando through wothout much of a fight..

They're good friends after all..

Why did Hamilton get a drop?

**SanderV** · 10th October 2010, 03:03

Going back to bed now, hope for a better race.

**tifosi1035** · 10th October 2010, 03:03

to get past Kubica and webbo is the key, vettel can win for all i care, we have to take points off Webber...... Come on fred, you can do it!!!!!@

**Nathan** · 10th October 2010, 03:04

Could have been worse, really. When i saw KUB ahead of us, I thought we're going to be a the 3rd row... PANICK MODE!!! But then ALO nailed BUT, which is nice and surprising with our pace. I calmed down a bit, lol. Let's hope for a better race pace

Dang....Massa didn't make it

**Tommack** · 10th October 2010, 03:06

Legard earlier: "So: It's Williams from Ferrari from Red Bulls and Schumacher from Massa" This guy makes me feel like screaming. Someone tell this twit there is a standings board on the side of our screen.

I'm not going to sleep now, lol. Too pumped on caffeine, taurine, F1 excitement, etc. Can't wait for the race

That was in Q2...

**vcs316** · 10th October 2010, 03:08

Hoping for Red Bulls to make a bad start or take out each other..

We need to beat Webber, he is our main competitor now.

**Katu** · 10th October 2010, 03:08

oh well the race has not yet started, let's see what happens there. in buttons best interests, i hope hamilton won't jump him in start, red bulls can handle themselves and kubica... well we just need a good start. and maybe schumi can teach hamilton a little lesson after those last comments.

**F1si** · 10th October 2010, 03:10

Well, this is quite okay. It was quite obvious that if everything goes normally the both Red Bull cars will be in front of us. Hamilton will be penalized so the only "problem" is Kubica. Let's hope for a good race and podium for Fernando and points for Felipe.

Agree. He's the only one we really need to worry about. And Lewis, but I'd rather close the cap in-front than worry about Mr.Crashalot behind. Need to nail Kubica off the line and hope the Bulls have problems or Alonso can overtake them!

**DanielM** · 10th October 2010, 03:13

Poor last lap from Alonso, he failed to improve on 2 sectors. Im pretty certain his first run was on softs.

**Kingdom Hearts** · 10th October 2010, 03:14

Hard race for us, I hope Alonso can get to the podium. Button is a good starter, I fear the start.

Kubica is a tough driver to overtake. He is the new "Trulli Train"

But yes, our sole focus should be on Webber. Hamster will self detonate. Vettel thinks having the fastest laps each GP is more important than winning.. Maybe it helps ihis confidence, Lewis is a bit like that too.. He cant take the pressure...
