I was a bit annoyed qualifying didn't start immediately..I hate waiting for an hour (prefer my bed)

[Kymmy]

Looks like the HRTs will race,they're a good half second within the Q1 107% time

Woops, webber just went faster.. but kartthikeyan is still within 0.3 and DLR is well ahead of him..

It at least allows them to see how the car performs in race conditions

Well Hamilton and Button have secured the front row for tomorrow race with Vettel down in sixth but will be pushed up to fifth because of Kimi's penalty.

And both HRT cars through to the race as well. Pleased for them.

l see Ferrarri are still struggling massively as they cannot find any pace.

I love the fact that al the Jenson critics that said he only won the championship because he had the best car ( which is all vettel has done) and that on an equal footing with the likes of Hamilton he'd get his arse handed to him - have all but gone quiet?

[Kymmy]

Jenson has the advantage of being soft on his tyres where as Lewis is a lot more aggressive and more of a natural driver (it's why I like him and before him used to support Jean Alesi) but I still think that given a clear track that Lewis will nearly always post a better time. Last week Lewis got a bad start which gave Jenson the clear air and the McLarens do love clear air..

Jenson's title was a clear cut affair primarily due to the car there is no doubt about that but yes he is a good driver (otherwise he wouldn't be in F1)

Looks like we are in for a interesting race as it is now raining in Sepang.

[MarkC1984]

So if Hamilton does leave at the end of this season, as the papers keep saying he will, what team would take him? Ferrari wouldn't pair him and Alonso together again after the oh so successful season at McLaren. Red Bull have said they won't sign him, and Mercedes are also apprently not interested.

Would he then sign for McLaren again on a shorter contract or would he move to a lesser team? I think he would re sign with McLaren myself.

[denphone]

There is no way that he will go to a smaller team and l for one expect him to resign for McLaren.

[Kymmy]

Or go to Indycar especially if he wins the championship

[denphone]

Heres hoping for a restart soon as the rain has got a bit lighter.

[colin25]

At least this race has over taking...show me a race with no overtaking, that is the race I have turned off

[denphone]

Its becoming a bit of a disaster for McLaren though.
