Redbull had the double wishbone pullrod system with meant it took most of the season to get the double diffuser working right but once they got it bolted onto the car it did not make that much off a difference, now they have had over the winter to perfect it along with the blown exhaust system they are unstoppable on higher downforce tracks, with the 4 week summer break coming up it might help other teams get blown exhaust system to work and with some hope copy the flexible wings.

Now that's ridiculous.
Great stuff from Red Bull again, hope Vettel gets the start fine finally.

Correct me if my arithmetic is failing me, but that looks like Yamamoto is only within 109% of the pole time. From next year he wouldn't even be allowed to race. I think slow backmarkers could play a role into tomorrows win.
I don't know if it would be the actual pole or the Q1 time; if Q1, both HRTs would be out, if Q3, Di Grassi would also be out, and would not have a time under 107% from the whole weekend to fall back on.
FTR Di Grassi is still running over the minimal weight as he's heavier than Glock.
Anyway, I belive that if the 107% rule is re-implemented next year, they'd take the Q1 times, as you won't have the same track conditions in Q3.
Does anyone have the qualifying times from Q1?
I couldn't make my google search sufficiently vague enough to find them.

Can't be bothered to do the calculations, but it seems to be clearly over the 107%.

Well my dodgy arithmetic says was still outside the 107% marker for Q1 and so was Senna. di Grassi would be in though.
107% rule should apply to the fastest time of Qualiy not from Q1 in my opinion, or maybe the rule is under that???
Yeah, I agree in general, but Greybull made a good point about track conditions. What if it was raining in Q1 but dry in Q3? Seven or even fourteen cars could be out the race before it started.
Hamilton:
Nah, the marshalls would have a look at Free Practice times I guess... Like how it was done at Spa 2001 for instance. 4 cars were out of the 107% due to heavy rain, but they were allowed to race on Sunday.
Yeah, I guess I'm thinking too logically, they would have to look at the whole weekend and make a judgement.
If weather changes in Qualiy sessions then imo 107% should not apply.
Damn.
Old footage but gives you a good idea of the second side of competition in F1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U66aUZMNHYM and how they 'interpret the rules'.
Was also interested to hear that Adrian describes tyres as the least understood compenent and that the data they are supplied in the form of a tyre model from the supplier is pretty 'simple'.

Does anyone have BBC one stream link ? I have one, but this is kind a low quality 
will watch start of this fail and that's it.
no need to see the rest of the boredom.

Should be intresting if a Redbull gets a bad start, thats about it.
what i find interesting is how small the gap between the two HRT cars is, if as stated / thought by a lot of people (myself included) yamamoto is only there because of his sponsorship money rather than outright speed it either means that senna isn't that quick a driver either or the HRT is really easy to drive at its (low) limits or yamamoto is better than he's given credit for.
:sleep2:
Ugh this is becoming like NASCAR in terms of bodywork cautions... 
Lol rosberg and sutil and kubica!!! :d :d
