Vettel is teh legend. Only one lap to qualify and he nails pole. He even got hit by a Torro Rosso and managed to still win. (Can't believe that did no damage)
Dig a hole for the next man and you'll fall in.

Buemi again totally out did his team mate, here hoping Hopless or is that Bordasis gets the boot for Hartley to have a crack next year

Another great race was very gutterd for Trulli as he looked to be in the points again

Can't wait for the next race this season is only going to get more intresting

I have got a feeling Vettel is going to dominate this sport like MS

Yip Vettel is teh man, not only is he fast, but hes got a great personality as well. This quote is from before the race when Martin Brundle and Coulthard were doing there grid, when he mentioned he names his cars:

"My original car was called ‘Kate’. But then it got smashed at the opening race in Australia. So we called this one ‘Kate's Dirty Sister’ because it is more aggressive and faster," Vettel said.

Awesome :lol:

If he keeps getting snashed by his teammate like this race (Qually in particualr), I cant see him lasting the season. Personally I dont know if I'd like Hartley to jump in there this year, he doesn;t really have much experience still, and would be a shame to see him get put in the seat, only to be shown up due to lack of experience behind the wheel of a f1 car.

I know Brendon personally and he is a very focused and responsible man, I don't think that he is not up the task, he has set some records in F1 car during testing (as far as I know :)). I would love to see him doing F1.

I would love nothing more than to see him in F1, and I dont doubt his focus, I just don't want to see him thrown to the lions due to lack of experience.

i was lucky enough to be taken for a few laps of ruapuna by brendon, then have a shoot out with him in a sentra cup car! got to within a second of him! so i was pretty happy with that! i had done 20 or so laps, he did his time on his first and only flying lap in that car :lol: his first time ever in a tin top race car was that day as well

i am sure redbull wont put him in until they are sure he is upto it
remember they have been developing him for quite some time now.
i do think a season in gp2 or similar would be a good idea. the WSR3.5 drive is certainly going to help

I jsut can't see why he hasn't adapted this year should have suited him with less girp and the cars more basic like champ cars

Or was it the fact he was the only really decent driver in the champ car series made him look alot better than he ever really was

I reckon give Hartley a blat, he cant do any worse that Bordais is doing at the moment

I actually would like to see Hartley race a season GP2 before getting thrown into F1.I to don't doubt his ability but I think he needs more experience before he goes into the show.

Should be a interesting race. Good to see that Red Bull are continuing there good form, out qualifying the Brawn's on higher fuel load is pretty impressive!

Bring it on!!!
Can someone with sky tell me what time it starts?
