Go Kimi! Grapped the pole - yes! Had me scared with that off-course excursion!

Unfortunately, I think that he's light on fuel (Mercedes probably wanted to 'tweak' BMW by taking pole on their home track).

He can probably make the podium, as McLaren has been ahead of Renault this weekend, but I think that the top of the podium will be red again.

I don't think that McLaren even thought of BMW. Given their performance in the last races. BMW is not even top 10.

In any case, I think had MS got some clean ground he could have made a pole run. No problem because I'm still happy that the mumbling F*ck got back on top. I think is has something to do with their new suspension changes they arrived at in testing. Now, last year the Kimsters engine went out, so cross your fingers till the very end.

Woho yup kimi got pole, he was happy- i was happy even though i'm a tiffosi. Reason why ? Because both Ferrari's are going to pass Kimi- BUT Kimi will take points away from Fonzo! Man this WDC is going to go down to the wire!!! sooo exciting !

Edward, get a date and watch the F1 with her- haha cuddling during the race !

Yeah, I had a sleep over on Sunday morning. I left her in bed though. Even though she knows some of the drivers etc.

Was really upset about that right real failure of the air gun.

WTF is up with Ralfie. Damn son, can you drive. Rickie Bobby might be able to show him some stuff...

I wish Kimi would show some class. Look at MS. 89 victories and the guy acts like its his first time. SF (kimi) Stuttering Fawk looks sullen and and comes off like a *****. What gives Kimi?

Feeling bad for Weber too. Damn Monaco and know Germany.

Hey emrliquidlife, in your X-1/9 blog, is that a white Fiat 500 in the background? The Abarth versions of that car are fantastic!
