PIA looked disappointed that he missed pole. And moreover, McLaren have bandied about too much, about two #1 drivers. Many 'rules' that should stay 'internal' are out in the public. I expect NOR and PIA to fight in the opening lap, and either a coming together / overtake in T1 or T9-10 (and I hope it doesn't happen) . This is the only hope for VER or RUS or anyone else to even have the possibility for a non-McLaren win. In normal course, wet or dry, this is a cakewalk for McLaren P1-P2.

Has the website gone to sh%%?

Other than that, great performance. But, i think we have a a tricky old car. Touch of the red bull about it. Not a surprise though.

Has the team chosen a setup with high downforce for wet conditions?

I've watched qualifying 3 times! I can't get over how strong they were in sector 3. I heard an interesting take on qualifying by a commentator, can't remember who. He suggested that qualifying this year is going to be a very fraught and tense affair specifically for McLaren. His reasoning behind this is that even though at least for now there's a decent performance gap between McLaren and the other teams, the 2 drivers are so closely matched that they'll be pushing hard for those milliseconds to overcome each other, so a lot of mental strength and discipline will be required. Every defeat will be a hammer blow.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?
Kimi Raikkonen: I can only drive one car, obviously.

Wow, I hadn't had time to get on the forum, expected pages of commentary to wade through, but looks like everyone is struggling loading the site. Top performance from the team though.

I just watched the pole lap again. The car is glued to the road. It went wherever he wanted to put it. And he got a small tow on the entrance to the straight before turns 9 and 10 lol
