raikkonen out...

Great just woke up, got my time conversions a bit wrong there... Now I need to see the re-run just to see what happened to get all these positions out of whack

@randiolo: yeh, having watched the entire thing now, I can understand your comment a bit better, there were no cars on track for the last 4 or 5 mins of qually... so a great succes for the new qually format there.

@randiolo: I'm curious how much of a sense you could get of what was going on on track during the new style qually, seems to me that without some sort of app on your phone or tablet it would be pretty confusing and hard to get a good idea of who's doing what and who's in danger of being eliminated.

how did it all work out, I couldn't stay awake for qually. Did Charlie come out with a shepherd's crook at the end of the pitlane to pull the eliminated cars of the track?

Aston Martin announces a partnership, not with Force India but with Red Bull Racing?

Don't really know how this is going to pan out, other than that Adrian Newey is apparently designing a Hyper car for them.

Any way, glad to hear Vijay will be sticking around a while longer

Where Haas F1 failed to deliver on their promise, Renault comes through. We have a yellow car on the grid for 2016 people.

I'm happy to see a bit more colour on the grid, it would have been even better if they got some of the old mild seven colours in there but hey you can't have every thing. With the black details it kind of reminds me of the benson & hedges Jordan's.

@lauraacourson: Why don't you obtain the heck out of some actual ad space? Instead of dumping to these boards, you are testing my endurance.

You realize how it is...Often

Also, what the heck is wrong with "MetalGearSolid" in your biscuits? your kids should know the joys of MGS

@rethla: I think the only thing we will actually see if this does get implemented is a lot more people complaining about getting blocked on a hot lap and as a result slower people getting grid penalties. Oh and possibly more sound bites of kimi raikkonen asking to get this F#%$ing (insert slower team here) out of his way

The qualifying change up seems such a silly thing to implement, like reverse grid positions or a blancpain style qualifying race, I didn't really see the problem with the 3 part qually set up they had in the first place, or even the way most other motor sports decide the grid order.

Why did they feel the need to change it up in the first place? Did people only watch Q3 and do they think this will get people to tune in for the whole thing?

I don't get it
