Hockenheim Qualifying
Well we went a bit dark ages here in deepest South Wales today when a tiny bit of rain caused a powercut - you'd have thought the Welsh would have got the hang of rain by now - but luckily it came back on in time for the Qualifying!
Q1 was stopped after Scott Speed decided to keep his foot in whilst on the grass and smashed up his Toro Rosso nicely. The usual suspects were dropped for Q2, which showed the Hondas to be back up to a respectable speed.
Not too sure what the Schumacher brothers were on during Q3, with Ralf deciding to hit de la Rosa at the hairpin, damaging his own suspension in the process. He came from so far back I can't believe that he thought he'd actually get past, especially as it was just the fuel burn section of Q3, it was a totally stupid move. As for Michael, what was he thinking? His entrance into the Pit would have got him a penalty in Indycar for unsafe driving, and for him to be released by his team to almost take the front of off Alonso's Renault should be severely reprimanded, it was an extremely dangerous maneuver. The same goes for Toyota for when they finally got Ralf's car fixed and sent him out, forcing Jenson Button to take evasive action - in the Pitlane!
This is supposed to be the pinnacle of Motorsport, but with actions like that it's more like a sunday down your local race track with a bunch of kids.
Kimi's on Pole, I think he's running light on fuel.
I'm sat watching the F3 race from Snetterton, and have just seen Bruno Senna's massive crash that he was really lucky to walk away from unharmed. His car hit wheels with the car in front and was launched into the air, reports say that the car actually hit the underside of the bridge that goes over the circuit at that point - the TV pictures were not good enough to make it out - before crashing down and pretty much disintregrating!

it anoyed me what Schumi did to Fernando but still it happens but they should know better wouldn't have been happy if he'd taken them both out!
Even if kimi is light on fuel I hope he keeps where he is! He's a brilliant driver and needs to show what he can do which is win lol :)
