Mclaren's rule!!!! And that lap by Hamilton was stunning. Can't wait for the race tomorrow. I hope the order stays that way. Really couldn't be bothered about 3rd place as long as there's a Mclaren on steps 1 and 2.

@normally_crazy: I thought I'd be the first to post after qualifying..seems I might have underestimated you guys

Cheers!

Hamma did a superb lap to get pole,i think he is heavier than Alonso,alonso lost it in the slow S on his last flyer.I was watching Practice yesterday and Ferrari do seem to have a very consistent long run speed.Mclaren were suffering in sector 2 after their first laps.will be intresting to watch.

A grest start is important here because of the long straight a car behind and easily enter the slip stream and make a pass at turn 1.No predictions as they always go wrong.

Todays newspapers say Alonoso to quit Mclaren, obviously thats a rumour. These journos surely have no work.

paras211 · 17th June 2007, 13:26

is the race today or tomorrow if its today wat happened in qualifying

merve_extreme · 17th June 2007, 13:46

2230 today on StarSports

1)king Alonso
2)Hamilton
3)Heidfeld

It does look like its alonso's Gp today provided he gets into the FIRST Corner before Hamilton...hes tried to pull the same off in the last two gp's and failed but if he does full it off this time then hes taking Top spot.Hamilton cant see him in any other place than 2nd.looks Like its a MCLAREN MERCEDES 1/2
Their cars are WILD

...Theres no stopping them this time.
Bmw's looked pretty strong and its Heidfeld at no3.
As for the Ferrari's I trust the man kimi to screw it up again.
Massa hmmmm...cant say.

Ferrari's kinda gettin screwed big time hiring Kimi... Massa seems to be so much better and faster.

danlalan · 17th June 2007, 20:42

If Kimi can smile..then he may just win a gp.
Hes bad luck for the team.He need to improve or he may not have a seat next yr.

razor4077 · 17th June 2007, 21:42

Hamilton for the win...
Ferrari 2-3.. massa, kimi

alonso's gonna blow his fuse and do something silly (i hope!). he's cracking under pressure, is mr.champ....

ooof what a race.... hamilton holding off alonso seems to me as the defining moment of the championship.

1. hamilton
2. alonso
3. massa

karthik247 · 18th June 2007, 00:07

Nice race, good racing btw McLaran drivers (Hamilton n Alonso) and Ferrari drivers (Massa n Kimi). The #2 drivers of both teams seem to be stronger than the #1 drivers!!

McLaren looks really strong. Hope Ferrari can bounce back after testing.

1. Hamilton
2. Alonso
3. Massa
4. Raikkonen

merve_extreme · 18th June 2007, 00:18

very good drive from Hamma and also from Massa to keep Kimi behind him on soft tyres.

Very happy to see Dieter Zeste on the podium and also a good show from Alonso and Hamma to show unity in the team,but it looked very artificial to say the least.

Gordon · 18th June 2007, 00:21

Good race. Not a huge fan of McLaren, but Hamilton drove well, and I really wanted him to win. The point at which he and Alonso challenged each other was heart-pounding. Loved the way he kept Alonso at bay. Massa drove well, but has a very annoying attitude. What's up with Raikkonen?!
