As a McLaren man through and through I am the first tosay that this season feels extremely alive and exciting. Awesome. Actual competition not just two Hoovers sponsored by a red bull and 22 other cars.
We`ll see if they have race pace though, Mercedes AMG. And Suber got both cars in top ten.

Awesome front row for mercs! Wonder who will lead by the first corner.
Yikes. That's very strange. Would've jumped up a few if he did that again.

So, how far will Mercedes fall back during the race?

For the lap I meant.
Super KK!!!
Raw Merc Power hehe... yeah you have a good point there.. only fact that keeps me from grinning until tomorrow. Uh smugNico in pressconference ^^
With the DRS loss, they will bunch up the top 5, causing a massive pile-up. Webber to win. Vettel first DNF when he realises he *can't* actually overtake.Koba win then
ARGH Fucking Australian coverage. Let's skip the post-quali interviews and hear some no-knowledge tossers comment on something they have zero experience in. Good job you cunts.

On that fast lap, Rosberg was already 4 tenths up before the start of the long straight, so I wouldn't be so sure about that. If anything, tyre wear will be the big factor.

That was a really interesting qualifying session. I really hope Rosberg has good race pace.
I really hope the Red Bulls have significantly better race pace than quali pace too. =/

Interesting note that Lewis has never won a race when starting lower than 4th.

Sauber are looking great through S2 and they're the fastest through the speed trap. Hopefully we'll see Kobay's first podium tomorrow.
Yeah, I just turn it off after the flag drops these days, they are utterly useless.
I don't know what I'd do if I got to see him on that podium.

That would be amazing for Sauber.
Yeah, that's a given with the Mercedes' as well. That plus the DRS thing I don't think will work too favourably for them. Be good if that didn't happen, but we all know the Silver Arrows are shocking with preserving rubber.
Would be the greatest moment in f1 history
I'll bring the peanut butter...
Koba actually has his first real chance for a podium purely down to raw pace than the weather. Great job Sauber.
Webber was on used options I think, hence the drop off in lap time. Great moment for Mercedes, but we all know their race speed drop-off.
LOL @ VETTEL. Seeing Webgod P1 and Vettel P11 at the end of Q2 made me chuckle.

It's not like Sky coverage is debatable enough as it is, but they still go on about this shit with a guy who's never been in a motor race in his life and another who used to race MOTORCYCLES. Don't give a shit, just give us the coverage.
Oh, post-race is on *now*. 10 minutes after it happened. Dickheads.
I'd kill for the ability to get guaranteed ad-free coverage of Sky. It's so shit having to deal with 320x240 streams and the tripe that us Australians get.

Kobayashi ftw.
Sauber better not screw up the tyre strategy tomorrow.

Great qualifying!
The days when the top teams almost automatically went into Q3 without trying hard appear to be gone.

Pressure's getting to him. But he himself said he preferred the older-spec car and it sounds like they could've changed to the new one right up until today.
And yes, I'm absolutely loving this

Shit, forgot about that.
Installing now.
Now need to find a way on how to get it playing on my TV.
Move to the best country in the world, done.
Is the stream any good? I mean is there lack or other problems usually?
All my disappointment over hamiltons gearbox penalty has been firmly washed away by the king of the douche bags having to start 11th after being trounced by his teammate.
If it is a dry race tomorrow then I can see the mercs struggling, they will have to push due to strong competition and I doubt the tyres will hold up anyway near as long as they want.

We start our takeover of the dance scene when we release some hot club bangers.
