I'm sure not only the Aussie fans... I cheered as well for a driver finally being at a place where he barely belongs.. mid-field. Good job Ricciardo!
I got the feelings (expected it far before the season) Kimi is hardly ever gonna be able to catch up with Alonso.. Ferrari made the wrong call last year.. they should have taken Hulkenberg!
@Benni...
\Yes mate... he did a pretty good job! He is in the wrong car though.. but good job from the Dane
Indeed. Hardly any mention of his performance on Sky TV so far, but his was probably the drive of the session for me. Awesome job for his first qual session.
Delighted to see Lewis on pole. Nice to see Daniel 2nd, just for the crowd reaction Cant stand Ferrari, so happy to see one of them out in Q2. Always great to see a Vettel fail.
Overall that was hugely entertaining. Lets hope the race is as exciting.
At least the new engines have much more torque, finally it's inferesting to watch, now that the cars are going sideways more. Even on dry tracks. No more rail racing. The pole lap was pretty nice too.
Seems like I'm the only one who's not happy about Vettel failing. Although it's great to see some other's fighting for the lead, I'd still want to see Vettel to be there aswell and actually fighting for the win.
And it seems like Vettel and Magnussen are going to get a grid-penalty for ingoring yellow flags in Q2, which would be pity for both drivers.
EDIT: didn't happen
Didn't quite managed to get up at 7:00 this morning to watch the Quali
But judging from this recording of the Free Practice TV stations need to work a little with thier sound balance, the cars become unhearable as soon as someone if speaking at the same time.
Regarding loudness in real life, a friend of mine lifes in Melbourne, not very close to the track, and he was woken up by the cars this morning
FINALLY i remember what these shits sound like. i been thinking since practices wtf they remind me of. well i got it now LFS+TWEAK+stupidly high numbers
Nah. I'm not happy that he failed because of car problems. I want to see what he does with a less-than-best car, but I don't want to see him kneecapped by mechanical issues.
