Useless from Webber.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Rosberg is killing it

 

[Sloane]

Jesus, Rosberg.

Expected Kimi to do better.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Rosberg getting pole

 

[Adamm]

Oh dear alonso

 

[Psychotext]

Amazing.

 

[Omiee]

Good job nico!!!

 

[Hackbert]

..i´ll be eating crow.. great lap Rosberg. Did not see that coming

sigh.. no points for that. had anyone Rosberg for pole?

 

[nny]

Kimi :/ great stuff from Nico!

 

[DBT85]

Well done Nico

 

[Addnan]

The fuck happened to Raikkonen.

 

[Xun]

Nico!

He almost sounded a bit like Vettel there for a second.

 

[navanman]

Awful lap from Kimi. Not going to help with his race tomorrow.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Where did Kimi's pace go?

 

[Adamm]

Also no made a lot of mistakes on his lap, no wonder he just pitted

 

[Psychotext]

Surprising to see Alonso making mistakes.

I'd love to know who has new mediums for the race. Not Red Bull that's for sure.

 

[Hackbert]

Where did Kimi's pace go?

maybe race pace changes?

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

The fuck happened to Raikkonen.

It's all about the race with these shit tyres.

Kimi or Alonso for the win.

 

[brotkasten]

Wow, for some reason I didn't think about Nico at all. I wonder how I'll do on the predictor.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Sloppy last lap from Fernando.

Still, 3rd isn't all that bad, on the better side of the track as well for the start, correct?

 

[Ce-Lin]

Massa strategy was excellent, nice position to start with a tire advantage, I'm tempted to bet on him for the GP win tomorrow...

Spoiler

naaaaah

 

[Omiee]

Vettel wanted to go to burger king?

 

[Addnan]

Alonso is going to win. Should be a easy win if practice is anything to go by. Kimi might be able to get podium since he probably has the best long distance pace.

 

[Sloane]

Massa strategy was excellent, nice position to start with a tire advantage, I'm tempted to bet on him for the GP win tomorrow...

Spoiler

naaaaah

Yeah, in theory he should be able to do very well on hard from 4th but... well.

 

[Kassu]

Alonso leading the race after few laps again? I doubt Rosberg and Vettel have the same race pace.

 

[Adamm]

Massa will start 4th tommorow on hard tires, he stands a good chance tommorow

 

[ramparter]

Alonso starting 3rd, he got this. Massa's strategy should be interesting but he will probably be super slow and then he'll have no clue why.

 

[Road]

Alonso x Vettel to win, with more chances for the first (sorry, Mercedes).

Curious to see if Massa will fuck up already at the start or after the first pit.

 

[Ce-Lin]

also tomorrow Vettel brake testing Alonso @ turn 2 again hoping for front wing damage, you read it here first.

Have no fear, team will probably mess up something with his strategy for sure

 

[SunhiLegend]

Impressive lap from Nico.

 

[Dilly]

Here's hoping Vettel's racepace sucks.

 

[duckroll]

Good showing from Rosberg. Not particularly noteworthy qualifying session aside from that. Webber is pretty disappointing.

 

[Psychotext]

Unless Red Bull was sandbagging their race pace Alonso looked significantly quicker.

Massa or Alonso.

Alonso will be 1st or 2nd by the first corner. He's a monster starter.

 

[ramparter]

Happy for Nico, I hope he manages to get some decent points tomorrow, I would support him for the win if it wasn't for Nando. Still I'll be glad if he wins this but Mercedes haven't quite proved themselves in race pace.

 

[Omiee]

Alonso will probably win with vettel and raikonnen to fight for podium places. Massa could make it hard on rbr and lotus though.

 

[Ce-Lin]

no really, if Massa can deal with traffic during the few first laps and manage his tires by no battling with early quicker cars on softer compound I believe he got this on the bag if the Ferrari race pace is the same as in free practice.

 

[startyourengine]

shit, lotus is awful, was hoping kimi at least a top 5

 

[DrM]

Webber will be toast if he gets his start as he knows best

 

[Wes]

Rosberg? Neat!

Massa doesn't need to team for that. He needs to figure out what those gizmos are, that are holding him up again.

"It’s difficult to understand exactly what happened today, because the start went very well," said Massa, who started the race in fifth. "I was immediately quick and the car was working perfectly. At the first stop, I fitted the Medium tyres and after a few laps I began to suffer with graining on the front. That meant I lost ground to other cars and it was probably down to a problem linked to the track conditions and my driving style.

"All weekend, I haven’t felt comfortable with these tyres and in the race, any attempts I made to save them was useless. But for this problem, I would certainly have been in the fight for the podium, but I am still confident because I was able to bring home a good points haul which is important in a season that has only just begun."

But I'm sure that's his team's fault again.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Massa in 4th, with the fast starting Ferrari's I hope Alonso doesn't damage his car at the start, every race start is so nerve racking.

Especially with that first corner.

 

[Ce-Lin]

Especially with Vettel

fixed

 

[DrM]

Especially with that first corner.

And with two FIs behind this will be awesome first corner
