Great qualifying session

Michael Schumacher has a battle on his hands from sixth

Knowlesy · 12 Jun 2004, 17:49 (Ref:1001939)

I can't believe who's on pole? I mean, who is Ralf Schumacher?

alesi95 · 12 Jun 2004, 17:49 (Ref:1001941)

Ralf will drop to fourth at the start 2morrow so that he can drive into Montoya.

f1manoz · 12 Jun 2004, 17:51 (Ref:1001942)

Button to win!

Where on earth has the Williams pace come from?!?!?

Raven · 12 Jun 2004, 17:51 (Ref:1001943)

Looks like an exciting session. Shame about Sato, I wonder if BAR will start him from the pit lane. I would imagine it's worth the gamble to tank up and go for a 1 or 2 stopper with a fresh engine as we often see a safety car period in Montreal.

alesi95 · 12 Jun 2004, 17:51 (Ref:1001944)

If this does happen tomorrow i want a great big "OOOOOOO HOW DID HE KNOW THAT." from everyone in the forum.

Kicking-back · 12 Jun 2004, 17:53 (Ref:1001946)

Some of this is down to the track - if you have lots of power or VERY good traction (a la Renault) you will do well here.

Ferrari may be running more fuel, but with so many cars ahead of them, I can't see them winning.

Raven · 12 Jun 2004, 17:54 (Ref:1001947)

So what's the deal with Schumacher? Is the hot weather kicking in again? It'd be great to see someone else win for a change.

BootsOntheSide · 12 Jun 2004, 18:06 (Ref:1001958)

I thought Williams would do well here, considering the BWM's power, and Ralf has the stronger record here.

What happened to Sato, Massa and Bruni?

I doubt Ferrari lack of pace is due to heat - I doubt it'd be hotter than Bahrain, and the other Bridgestone guys are on their typical pace.

Good stuff form Klien -maybe Webber's heavier?

Kicking-back · 12 Jun 2004, 18:10 (Ref:1001959)

Bruni - some technical problem in pre-qual and qual.

Massa - puncture.

Sato - did a 360 in final corner, kept his head though and booted the power across the line.

Webber - scrappy lap, locking brakes all over the place

Whats the odds that ralfs manager will be up and down the pit lane talking contracts after that performance. What a lap....hey we could even see some passing tomorrow!

Willi Webber does that every Gp meeting.

pole2pole · 12 Jun 2004, 18:15 (Ref:1001966)

Very true but you no what this sport is like

Sodemo · 12 Jun 2004, 18:20 (Ref:1001967)

Are the Bridgestone tyres too soft, maybe they are graining badly?

Kicking-back · 12 Jun 2004, 18:22 (Ref:1001969)

Not particularly, it would seem.

Hs to be something like that or could michael be running on alot of fuel. If so it could pay off big in the race

That strategy only works with a clear run at the track.

He's got too many cars ahead of him.

It is a interesting grid ralf fan roll on the race.

ralf fan · 12 Jun 2004, 18:36 (Ref:1001985)

yeah but a 1 min 12.... they used to do those times when they had flat out quly with no race fuel... i think Williams may be lighter that Bar.... maybe?

You could be right here and looking at michaels pace i think he is carrying more fuel than anybody. All he has to do is stay with the pack and once they peel off into the pits for there stops he can then bang in quick laps

Problem with that is "the pack" in front of him have a variety of different speeds. He'll be held up while some can pull away.
