Mercedes on the POLE !?!?!??

Kimi drove the MERC to the pole position in tomorrow's F1. Not only that but was the quickest in 2 practice sessions. What's up with that? MERC could rarely get to the finish line so far this year without breaking down.

And I must say I like to see Schumi not making the top 3! He'ss probably end up winning tomorrow, but this makes for much more interesting viewing.

Yes it's great to see Kimi on the Pole! McLaren has a revised chassis too. I wonder what his fuel/tires strategy is, compared with Michael's?

Sincerely,
Paul

Did BAR Honda (Alfonso?) place a Pole position again? I wonder if Sato in his BAR Honda will be fogging for mosquitoes again? Sato just hasn't had any luck with those engines lately and hopefully to continue so.

Looks like Michael has the 2 stop strategy vs. Kimi's 3.

There's no longer any suspense in F1...same **** different track! I hope MB/McLaren's new car will actually make a difference. Of course, with $600 million invested in F1, Ferrari should win every race.

Sorry Color - It's not the actual race but time trials.

Yes... around F1 time, seems as I have to avoid all the forums b/c somebody always posts the results in the title. Even if it is only timre trials, it still is a spoiler. I'd better watch tivo before surfing any further!

PS. I wonder what the Vegas odds were for MB on Pole. I guess despite DC's lack of enthusiasm about the new chasis, it did make a difference afterall.
