Nice qualifing!
1st Kimi stealing the pole from Schumy by just 0.002 seconds
Although i don't like Kimi (as a man and character) i'll support him tomorrow in front of Schumy.
2nd Schumy
3rd YES BMW's pilot Nick Heidfeld. Told ya those guys are getting more and more competitive. Lets see how they hold up tomorrow in the race. But the car performed well to achive this time and the driver also.
4th Massa (strategic position)
5th Alonso (wich i feel very bad for him because of the problems, i expected more and a fight with schumy)
Let's see what tomorrow's race has for us.
GO BMW! Go Alonso

YES BRAVO Kubica. Keep it up
Sorry for alonso but not that sorry because if he wouldn't have had the engine failure then kubi wouldn't get the 3rd place anymore. Sorry alonso has my nr1 simpathy as a driver and as character, but my love is for BMW team.
But anyway what's up with those crazy italians moving alosno from the 5th place to 10th?! I mean are they crazy or alonso maybe told the hard truth (this ain't sport anymore) ?! I mean hell they think schumacher is the center of the earth and the core of f1 but not like that. He go away so easily in the hungarian GP with those ugly corner cuttings and manouvers, he got away doing EXACTLY what alonso was wrongly acused of, in the monaco gp, and now this?! I mean he is above the laws or what? More they even helepd the guy. Cuz i'm pretty sure that if alosno would have kept his original position on the gird then he wouldn't have had engine problems later on, problems caused from the excesive stress on the engine so that he could keep up and earn more points.
ANYWAY all in all, a great hurray for BMW team. But hey i don't get it why some people are getting penalties for speeding in the pit lane! Don't they have a switch on the steering wheel that limits the speed to the 60km/h (if i'm not mistaken) automaticly? Or the it's the driver that commits the error and switches to limited speed too late? (heidfeld).
Anyway...VERY IMPRESSED by the BMW power and the top speeds also. 2nd top speed was hiedfeld's. 348km/h
WOW!
Told ya guys they will get more and more competitive and with the proper drivers they will be able to challange for the driver's championship and even for the constructor's. They already passed toyota wich has a budged of over 500milion $. Impressive! I'm a happy bmw fan now.

It's not those "crazy Italians", first of all.
If you like one driver, that's fine. But you don't have to make such comments, like if he would have kept his starting grid position his engine would have not blown up. They have to make their engines so that they survive, even if the driver gives 100% all the time. His engine would have blown anyways. Period.
Yes, sometimes they are too late with the limiter. They are not super-humans, they are just regular guys that get paid for driving fast. They make mistakes just like you and me.
Formula one is losing a great driver to the end of the season, hopefully with another championship. An impressive career ends, and F1 will lose a lot with him.
