So happy they are reshowing Quali before the race tonight.

I've missed everything because of moving yesterday.

As for Heidfeld, at the beginning neither BMW was doing good at all, I think Kubica was like 13 at the end of Q1 or something like that.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. But did you see the results of Practice session 3? I expected them to both do well in quali after getting P1 and P4.

hopefully a safety car caused by kimi and hamilton taking one another out.

Or Hamilton just hits him in the pits again, or Kimi returns the favor. As for Heidfeld, at the beginning neither BMW was doing good at all, I think Kubica was like 13 at the end of Q1 or something like that. Oh well Kubica brought it up to speed by the end too bad Heidfeld didn't make it that far. Toro Rosso make another good qualifying, this time both in Q3. Should be an interesting race with a decent amount of overtaking down the straight.

ugh

From what they're reporting, the weather is supposed to be cooperative this weekend. Pray for some safety car action if you want things to get mixed up a bit. Otherwise, I wouldn't expect a lot of change at the top of the grid. Kimi has a good chance at stealing some thunder.

Toyota is showing good form.....Glock in particular.

It gets better.

Oh well, I'm off to bed.

[Jon325i]

Fucking fuck, Heidfeld doesn't get out of Q1... yet he somehow secured his contract with BMW next year. Fuck that.

Yep - watching it now. I'm not sure what kind of issue he was battling with the car, but he was way off the pace. Toyota is showing good form.....Glock in particular.

Expect the TF108 to do well here, the team is based out of Cologne, DE, but they do a lot of testing at Fuji.

Yes pleeease. How does that come from this?

T-minus 18 minutes until quali. :D

Not a night race - its called Japan being 16 hours ahead of me (19 hours for the east coast). So you guys back east have it on really late where its prime evening time for me. And frankly, we left coasters deserve it......after waking up at 4:30am just to watch the races all season long. You guys can feel my pain for once :-P


Jon

Lol I like watching the quali's and practice at 1am a lot more than 7-8am myself. I stay up late all the time and I am not what you call a morning person hahaha. Since college has started I have actually given up watching practice and just watch quali and the race. Finally get to see a practice again though :P

[Jon325i]

Is this a night race? My dad thought it was, but I thought Singapore was the only nocturnal venue.

Practice is tonight at 1am for those that usually don't watch it because of how early it is. Now you can see it if you are a night owl.

10PM west coast.
