Yeah maybe so, very unforgiving track. One mistake and theres a whole lot of concrete to greet you. He did drive a flawless race in Spain but alot more fast flowing corners.

Doubt he'll be considering retiring / Redbull retiring him after recent performances. In the post quali interviews Vettel looked to have lemon flavoured taste in his mouth. He's never been beaten by a team mate, let alone an old one before.

Race starts 9:00pm Sunday night, One HD.

He's in form atm for sure. Back to back wins and dominance over Vettel will be huge for his confidence and championship challenge if he can stay out to trouble tomorrow.

Not too sure where he came from though. I'm sure they were showing the sector times and he was .2 seconds behind kubica every time. Good stuff.

Webber's car has been fine so far this year - its been Vetel who has had the issues.

It was a case of the stupid local director not showing webber... his sector times were good, but they were just showing Kubica at the end of Q3.

I was expecting Vetel to come back and smash everyone after his disapointment in Spain, but obviously he isn't on top of the car at the moment.

Massa was doing well, but as Scooby and I were discussing during practice last night, I think Webber is a better driver than Massa and he is certainly in an overall better car this season.

Webber to win, unless Vetel goes nuts and takes it from him. Kubica to come 5th, he hasn't got the race pace.

I love how Vettel can never congratulate Mark.
Awesome when he nailed it! Did't even get to see it because of how focused they were on Kubica's lap who himself was flying too but to see Mark come from nowhere rocked!

Qualifying is so exciting, they should give them points for it! :O

Mark's pole lap.



Alonso's crash in qualifying.

Goddam thats a tight track, if webber makes it through the first corner still in pole and drives clean, how the f*** is anyone meant to pass him.

Prediction is webber to do a repeat pole to finish in first.

Agree. Webber has a good drive at the moment. Far superior to his Williams days. Car is reliable and he is in form. No one would be going anywhere.

awesome awesome lap by web.
dont know where he pulled that extra pace from ! kubica had been flying in all practice sessions, and mark seemed to be off the pace !

definitely sucks that its now 2 WEEKS IN A ROW that we'v been watching the wrong car when mark has gone pole.

cheers for the vid pyth!
incredible commitment, and the critical last sector fastest of anyone despite a small error into the 2nd last turn !

The thing that gets me is that even though those laps are quick, you can distinctly see where he made mistakes and lost time. I reckon there's at least another .7 he could pull from a perfect lap.

I was thinking the same thing myself, but thought it was probably just me thinking he mucked up a corner a bit and lost corner speed, seeing as Im not an F1 driver, but I guess im not the only one that saw it.

Ive been playing alot of open wheelers in Grid lately, on driver cam too, so I reckon I know what im talking about now.

Grid = real life clearly.

Those 4 or so corners after the tunnel exit were insane, blink and bam, wall. Agreed though that there is fractions of a section to make up.

You should check out the top gear ep where hamster drives the renault. Said his mind just couldn't physically compute the actions required. By the time he got to the corner and think turn, he missed it. Funky stuff.

If he keeps going like this it leaves webber wherever he wants.

If he wins the championship and wants to stay at red bull, they would be insane to drop him.

The only thing people should be giving webber kudos for is being a f*****g fast qualifier (which makes sense considering he is a glorified test driver). It is such a god damn shame with how F1 has become now that even a scrub on pole can just comfortably drive untouched with clean air in front of them.

I'm defs not dark about ferrari, in fact im quite happy with alonso coming 7th (or whatever he got after losing a position to msc in the last f*****g second), he did start from pit lane after all.

Why would Red Bull dump Webber now? More precisely, why would Webber dump Red Bull?

Red Bull would dump Webber because he is a s*** driver in a good car. Webber is also an old c*** (he has 5 years on Massa). Your precision is correct, Webber would never dump Red Bull.

Gotta admit he's getting better tho. No way in hell in previous years he'd have avoided that pile-up in front of him in the last few laps. 4-5 years ago he'd have launched himself over the 2 of em.

Let's face it the only 'racing' we saw last night was Alonso kicking through the chaff at the start of the race.

It would be bloody great to see casa's face if webber went to Ferrari lol.

So vettel must be realy s*** if he has the same car and cant keep up. Once Webber was 10 seconds ahead, vettel would have had the same clean are but still couldnt do the same pace.

Not sure what race you were watching, but I'd say it was the opposite. Back markers are a f*****g rolling hazard, assuming they haven't crashed into each other already.

And Webber was pulling away from his teammate in an identical car at a rate of like 0.4 - 0.5s a lap. That's a clear win if ever there was one, unlike Belgium last year where that heap of s*** Fezza was holding up the Force India (!) in second.

And don't cry for Alonso, the FIA stewards are on his side.

I have nothing against Webber but i think that Red Bull got the car right this year more than Webber got his game right. I mean hes been around for years, yes he's had a s*** choice of cars, but he hasn't really come close now has he, Vettel is doing just as good so it begs the question, is it the car or the driver? imo its a mixture of the two but the car is a much more important aspect and i just think Red Bull did a great job this year. But again well done Webber XD

Well beating his teammate by 4 tenths in qualifying is quite alot when you consider what the spread of even the top 10 cars usually is.

If one team is 1 or 2 tenths quicker than both drivers of another team it's fair to say there's a better package there... but beating your own teammate with 'the same car' by 4 tenths - that's just plain better driving.
