    What is that horrible fin at the back of Alonso's car? It's even bigger than the one on the Red Bulls. I hope it won't be a trend...

    They call it a shark's fin, bro.,

    Anyway, here are the results of qualifying last night.

    Again FM was frustrated when FA and then KR pipped him.

    If on the race Alonso pits on or before lap 3 then that 2 place qualifying position was made purely to appease the Spanish crowd. Regretfully I think Nelsinho Piquet's pace is truer to Renault's race form as I think he's running on a full race fuel.

    I agree with your theory bro.

    Anyway, I sincerely hope that Renault has found the magic formula and is now back to form, so that it will be Ferrari-McLaren-BMW-Renault fighting for the top spots.....

    Note: 8:00PM-9:30PM is reserved today....

    It was a Ferrari 1-2 (KR-FM), with LH coming in 3rd. RK was 4th.

    FA was indeed light on fuel, by about 5-6 laps compared to the Ferraris and the McLarens. Sadly, he retired later in the race at 6th place due to engine problem.

    Big accident with HK. For a while, we thought that was it for him as the race stewards were frantically calling for heavy equipment assistance as the car barrelled through the barrier, because his left front tyre disintegrated. Thankfully, he looked okay when he gave the thumbs up while being carried away from the crash scene. He was later airlifted.

    Costly mistake for NH as he went into the pit when it was deemed 'closed'. He was running 5th at that time, behind his team mate RK. He was meted a 10sec stop/go penalty in the pit and finished out of the championship points.

    DC was again into some race incidents (with SB)/ and close calls (with TK)...
