Yeah, I think it was Louise Goodman interviewing him when he said it. Just about PMSL when I heard it. This one's right up there with DC flipping MS the bird was he was passing from the outside.

Kovy accidentally hit the pitlane speed limiter button after he passed Alonso.

7 cars made it to the finish line, but Barrichello has been disqualified. Bourdais and Kimi are still classified as finishers. Nakajima will get a 10-place penalty in Malaysia for taking out Kubica. Serves Crashuki right.

Man, check out the way Glock's car just pulled itself apart. Good to see that the wheel-retaining straps are doing their job, though.

hmmm.... the McLarens are starting on hards while the Ferraris are going for the soft...

Kimi is probably going to go for it as he has to pass a lot of people.. but he could rip his tyres to shreds...

no traction control, no brake assists.. let's see what happens..

Glock changed his gearbox in Q3, which drops him to 14th, and promotes Barrichello, Alonso, Button and Nakajima to 10th to 13th place respectively.

There was more drama in that 1 qualifying session than in the whole of a few recent seasons! I'm very happy for Kubica...but not for Räikkönen - car troubles for him, Vettel and Webber.

The temperature this morning hovered about 23 degrees Celcius, which is 10 degrees lower than yesterday, so that helped.

It's amazing that in spite of the smaller engines and the restrictions on the wings, they're still faster than the V10-powered (and similarly traction control-less) cars of early 2001.

1 minute left in FP3...Kubica and Heidfeld are flying!

Fisichella has also been unusually quick in the Force India car in all 3 sessions.
