Maybe, but nice to see McLaren are finding a bit of form back.

Watched all of the qualifying yesterday...its a very weird and unfair process...you can be quickest all day (eg in Q1 and Q2) yet it means bugger-all if you have a poor Q3. Why can't they keep the quickest laps from all three qualifying rounds, especially as the final one only lasts 10 minutes?

They've tried various rules over the years - the reason why Q3 is the decider is all to do with race strategy - you have to start the race on the fuel load that you started Q3 with. The cars go into parc ferme after Q3...

Flakey start - Kovaleinen comes off with a puncture. Hamilton challenging strongly on Massa....

Sloping off to the pub now to watch the rest.... later, people.

What a stupid rule...no wonder most teams leave it to the last minute (literally) to get in their qualifying lap
