Sato drops it. No change there then.

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Apr 2008, 11:16 (Ref:2170175)

Fisi might struggle now.

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Apr 2008, 11:31 (Ref:2170184)

From Q1 Nakajima and Button impressed me (live timing only).

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Apr 2008, 11:34 (Ref:2170186)

Q2 is very exciting at the moment there must be oooh, no cars on track 2.5 mins in.

**Born Racer** · 5 Apr 2008, 11:36 (Ref:2170189)

Massa should be punished.

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Apr 2008, 11:37 (Ref:2170191)

Why?

gachjoel · 5 Apr 2008, 11:41 (Ref:2170194)

take a close look if they show the on board camera with massa on the straight.
From what i could see,the yellow was just being displayed,so there is no way he could have seen it.
Plus i thought the dash had yellow warning lights on it,if so,if wasn`t flashing.
So imo i would say he done nothing wrong

mjstallard · 5 Apr 2008, 11:42 (Ref:2170195)

He set his fastest lap under waved yellows, but the incident happened about 3 seconds away from the finish line with Sato's crashed car way off the racing line at the side of the track. Interesting decision for the race stewards to make, as it could set a precedent for other waved yellow situations

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Apr 2008, 11:43 (Ref:2170196)

No TV coverage here.

**Born Racer** · 5 Apr 2008, 11:44 (Ref:2170198)

For ignoring/not obeying yellow flags.

Whether he saw it was irrelevant. A driver could always lie and say they didn't see it.

Or are drivers now allowed to choose whether to obey them? I must consult my blue book. I didn't read that bit.

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Apr 2008, 11:50 (Ref:2170199)

No pit to car radio?

If it's considered dangerous for the McLarens to be moving slowly whilst other cars are on track doing flyers (Malaysia), then the same rule should apply here for a stationary car. Yes, I know it was hard to spot the flag (if indeed it was just the one on the pit straight and not before the corner), but the yellow flag rule is supposed to be non-negotiable.

gachjoel · 5 Apr 2008, 11:52 (Ref:2170201)

not saying he ignored it,going by the on board camera,you just catch a millisecond of the marshal pulling out the flag.
i do think it was out of his line of sight,even if he turned his head.
But was there a yellow flag out at the previous post,coz the pit lane entrance was waving a green,then went to yellow.
i think that could be the main factor in the stewards decision

Chiefy · 5 Apr 2008, 11:54 (Ref:2170204)

Even if he'd lifted off he'd still have finished a full half-second ahead of everyone (including Raikkonen). Rules is rules (like James said) but if there was only one yellow (on the finish straight, rather than an earlier one before the final turn) then the issue becomes more grey than black and white.

Why the flags were still out is a mystery to me.

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Apr 2008, 11:57 (Ref:2170206)

I think Hamilton should get a 10 spot penalty for not bothering with 4 mins to go.

Well our mate isn't around and I'd just like to keep the momentum up.

By the way, these comments are in response to points people being interviewed and presenters are saying on TV.

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Apr 2008, 12:01 (Ref:2170209)

The Williams is going well.

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Apr 2008, 12:01 (Ref:2170210)

Is Kimi running heavy?

Kidzer · 5 Apr 2008, 12:06 (Ref:2170212)

Well played Mr Kubica!

I hope Kimi is heavy, he wasn't very quick in Quali at all.

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Apr 2008, 12:06 (Ref:2170214)

congrats to kubica!

koper · 5 Apr 2008, 12:08 (Ref:2170217)

Pole on POLE

) !!!!

Chiefy · 5 Apr 2008, 12:09 (Ref:2170218)

Stunning from the Kub!

gachjoel · 5 Apr 2008, 12:11 (Ref:2170219)

Well done Kubica,lets hope he can convert it in to the race and get a good result.
hope he wasn`t running to light

mjstallard · 5 Apr 2008, 12:14 (Ref:2170221)

Well done Robert!

Very chuffed for that pole position - I think a certain Mr. Koper is going to be pretty pleased too!

I've got a feeling those Ferraris are pretty heavy, and I wonder if Heikki has a touch more fuel than Lewis. Nick is 0.7 seconds off Robert - even with accounting for fuel, he really doesn't seem to agree with this year's Beemer
