Very glad to know Fisi & Force India made it to the pole!

Good luck to them for tomorrow's race, hope to see Fisi on the podium!

Great Qualifying. Way to go Fisi.

I think Kimi might win

Great to See Force India on the Pole.Absolutly amazing and that too on the Spa circuit.Lets see how they take the first corner...

Superb qualifying, it was refreshing to see something new this time other than mclarens, brawn,redbull on the pole all the time.

Way to go fisi, would love to see him win tomo.

Way to go FORCE INDIA!!!

Sutil has lot more fuel and is also looking good for a points finish and possibly podium.

ishotmydog · 30th August 2009, 02:11

yeah baby, first ever P1 for Force India. Well done, Fisi.
hope he gets a proper start and leads the whole race

F1 cant get better anything than this for this season. No Indian driver, no problem, atleast one Indian company making it to the podium after a tiring 2 yr journey.

All the best to Fisi and yes, we are glued to our tv sets for tomorrows race.

time of race: check
no power cut: check
drinks: check
glued to bean bag: check

its race time!!!! hoping to see if this is the king of good times.
Does Fissi have it in him to turn it into race victory? too early to say.
Is this THE race for 1st points for Force India? Yes if Fissi has a level head and does not bungle the car up.
Can Force India beat the KERS equipped car? there is the catch. Kimi can storm out of this pack and into the top and barrichello could follow suit.
realistically, awesome result if Force india stay within top 5. or maybe 7.
even better if Sutil makes up places and joins Fissi.
Not being pessimistic but being realistic.

Looking at the fuel weights & lap times in qualifying, Toyota (Trulli) looks the the strongest bet for the win. However, we have seen the Toyota performing well over 1 lap & but become a whimper in the race. I hope Kimi wins.

WOW!!! Fisi on Pole! Just a thought: Incase by any chance if Fisi wins, then it would be the first time in Formula 1 history that the Indian National Anthem would be played for the winning team. Wouldn't that be a proud and emotional moment for all we Indians!!!

and i'm looking forward for that moment of pride and joy.

The fuel load is light, but not by much. And if it rains, Force India has a 60% chance of winning, owing to the spray he's going to kick up and the amount of time he can hold everyone back for. Good luck Force India, win it!

Hoping that the Ferraris ( Kimi ) stays away from the Force India, as they are the ones that have deprived FIs from scoring championship points more then once in the past.

Ok guys, anyone have any link to watch F1 online?? if so pls forward me!
