Kubica scores his first pole..

A small error by Massa costs him podium..

Why do i feel that Kmi is quite heavy on fuel as compared to others..

Yeah, nice to see BMW on pole.

Lol, not podium., podium is the celebration stand for the first 3 places after the race

I too think Kimi is heavy on fuel and so is Lewis.

Kimi always says about Quali. perf.

his race setup is awesome, but he cant get the car to p1 in quali.
+
he carries more fuel, Sepang he ran an extra ap than Massa & overtook him in pits

 

[Dipen01]

yeah besides Massa has been sharp in Quali since schumi times.. Kubica is ultra light, I bet he he stops in 8-9 laps.. Massa might be a lap or two lighter than Kimi.

Now trick here is to pass Hamilton as soon as possible may be on 1st corner (yeah its gonna be tough) but kimi always gets perfect starts lets see..

 

[s18000rpm]

why Kubica has been quicker

Q: It's as if you now have to patent your Robert Kubica weight-loss diet. You lost six kilos before the season started, how much of a factor is that in your performance this year?

Robert Kubica: I don't know. It's difficult to say but we have seen that with lighter drivers, if I was lighter, I would go a bit quicker, so I decided with my engineer to make a maximum effort to reduce weight from the car and from myself and I worked hard and this is the kind of result we can get from it. It was maximum effort, very hard for myself, but still I managed it.

Post-qualifying press conference - Bahrain

[Dipen01]

Kubica is not leaving Raikonnen as he is lighter...

I see another overtaking.. But i think Kimi should let him pass..

Ham has pathetic start..seemed as he was sleeeping

 

[sachin_kothari]

cant say about hamilton but his car was definetly sleeping

 

[s18000rpm]

did alonso (fa) did it on purpose?

 

[Dipen01]

I guess couple of more disqualifications and Hamilton might break into top 6... as certainly he will be on 1stop fuel now...

lol no... Ham accelerated very fast...

As expected Kubica was the lightest..

 

[sachin_kothari]

and ferrari are recording fastest laps

button is having a bad day

fisichella in points for now

 

[Dipen01]

he hasnt stopped

I hope hes on 1 stop....

But nah hes lapping pretty good.. he will pit soon...

 

[sachin_kothari]

he is doing good to resist hamilton

 

[Dipen01]

Lap times of Massa are getting slower as compared to Kimi

And Fisi loses

Ham Pits

Raiko fastest..

Both Ferrari faster by .5 secs than BMW..

Ppl thought BMW was fastest

 

[s18000rpm]

ham is a noobo.

btw maybe kimi is holding back, coz anyway he wil lead the championsip today, why not give the much needed points to massa.

How does the fact that Kubica is lighter help in better qualifying times ? If I remember correctly there is rule mandating that the car weight+fuel weight+driver weight should not be less than 600 KG at any point of the race.
In fact weren't Honda fined for a similar thing sometime ago.

 

[Dipen01]

whats your take?

I think kimi was just offpace today.. As in yeah in the Middle stint he was superawesome.. actually both the Ferrari's but at the start he couldnt get away from Kubica...

And his lap times were slower than Massa even though he was lighter.. Ofcourse he was holding back lightest Kubica... but i thought he would get away easily

During middle stint kimi did pretty good..

Kubica should thank his 3rd place to ham..

damn he was sleeping at the start and banged into alonso later on
(Actually it may be both ways.. Alonso mite have braked suddently too.. nevertheless his laptimes were horrible 1.5 sec offpace througout the race and 1 sec offpace to Heiki ? i think his car must have taken some damage)..
