Apparently they Dennis' boys have made their homework, surely better than at Ferrari.

Either that, or everyone is running different fuel loads and testing different setups (notice the position of the Renaults).

**Bononi** · 11 May 2007, 14:36 (Ref:1911128)

I'm sure tomorrow will be different. But so far is very promising.

Satorian · 11 May 2007, 14:57 (Ref:1911144)

I guess Renault wanted to get some kind of good press out there (and probably rolled into the pits on the momentum of an empty tank once they crossed the line). I don't expect them any higher than P6 tomorrow.

Charlies · 11 May 2007, 15:37 (Ref:1911167)

Still expect Ferrari to move to the front tomorrow, I think their just biding their time. McLaren should be close, but I'd be amazed if Renault has made that big a jump forward since Bahrain.

Could ferrari be just not showing their true pace? then then catch everyone by surprise in qualy? they have said it was cus of slippery conditions ... might be just a cover up

Ferrari palys F1 like poker. Don't tip your hand until it counts.
Massa wins Sunday.

mjstallard · 12 May 2007, 10:23 (Ref:1911520)

Hammeroony fastest in Praccy 3 and AD rocking up at 8th place...bring on qually!

RBR i am finding a bit weird in fp1 they were both down fp2 MW up DC down and in fp3 DC up MW down, whats going on?

if the pattern continues it's MW up in quali DC down and in the race DC up MW down.

Ant says, the new chicane reminds him of the old 'Bus Stop' at SPA. It has added a new technical aspect he loves, to what was just two high speed corners before.
He predicts the chance to overtake there when others get it wrong, and that the tricky exit makes it more likely to overtake cars on the main straight.

He also predicts collisions there now on lap one! Hope not!

Interesting that drivers of faster aero cars like Massa say they don't like it!

Sodemo · 12 May 2007, 11:11 (Ref:1911537)

I fully believe that Ferrari will be up there come Sunday.

Knowlesy · 12 May 2007, 12:06 (Ref:1911558)

Quali underway now then.

**Peter Mallett** · 12 May 2007, 12:09 (Ref:1911561)

Speed going nowhere.

**Peter Mallett** · 12 May 2007, 12:12 (Ref:1911565)

Massa pushing it a bit.

**Peter Mallett** · 12 May 2007, 12:12 (Ref:1911566)

Albers, does he really deserve a seat?

**Peter Mallett** · 12 May 2007, 12:14 (Ref:1911568)

Looks like Webber is struggling. More sabotage?

Knowlesy · 12 May 2007, 12:14 (Ref:1911570)

Webber has put the car where it really shouldn't be.

**Peter Mallett** · 12 May 2007, 12:15 (Ref:1911571)

Mallett talking to himself. (no change there then).

No change there either.

Knowlesy · 12 May 2007, 12:18 (Ref:1911575)

Speed, Albers, Sutil, Webber, Wurz and Ralf "I will for sure be in F1 next year" Schumacher are all out.

**Adam43** · 12 May 2007, 12:18 (Ref:1911576)

Webber has died, he has just said so. If you can't get the car on track you pay the ultimate price! Crikey, that is a bit drastic for not getting through to Q2 (Jense would be in trouble

).

Knowlesy · 12 May 2007, 12:20 (Ref:1911578)

So Webber is going to top himself then apparently.

Q2 coming up.

Knowlesy · 12 May 2007, 12:22 (Ref:1911581)

Wurz cannot qualify at all, which is troubling.

Rick · 12 May 2007, 12:24 (Ref:1911584)

can someone please give Webber a car that doesn't break - PLEASE!!!!
