everyone keeps comming up with excuses WHY Ferrari got pole e.g. light on fuel, tyres only work good for a few laps etc.
Well keep in mind that Ferrari thinks about the race pace not POLE..and everyone out there had to do about 10 laps so we know for sure they have more fuel then trulli had at the USGP last year. Also, Ferrari tested there about 2 weeks ago and im sure they got alot of data and went back to Maranello and got an aero for the first 2 races. AND to top it off, have you guys seen the new aero on the Ferrari ? it looks brilliant! The difuser is suppose to be wicked --make up for alot down force that was lost due to 2005 regulations AND at high speeds its suppose to -undo itself ( downforce for diffuser) so they can get that extra top speed... im telling you Ferrari is going to take the cake tis year ! woot!!
I was so happy when Ferrari got 1-2 and MS pole.... i was claping and i woke up everyone in the house...they all came to the living room asking me if i was drunk and if just got home... haha

The commentators said the Ferraris had to be light on fuel to make the time they did. That means a pole focus. We'll see who comes in first for fuel tomorrow. I bet on Ferrari pitting on or about the same lap as the Renaults. Montoya and Raikkonen will go 10 laps further. Now that's race focus.
New season... time to set that alarm for 4:45am. whoa.

MB-Bob as longest they pit when the renualts do thats good imo. Since they are the ones to beat. ML is all the way so Kimi is going to have it to the to the top. To me it seem like MS wasent expecting pole. Oh well lets just sit and wait !

Time will tell if the McLaren stays under him reliably. If it does, no contest..

After Massa's failure to hold back Alonso, a 3 stopper would not work, so MS came in on lap 11 (as scheduled, not early at all) and they put in more fuel, to make the second stint longer, and turn it into a two stopper. No brainer, really.
