3th and 6th after the qualification for the qualification!

Here's the result: http://www.formula1.com/news/article/104.html
 
Its actually 3rd and 5th. It also sounds like they are still having a lot of engine problems so even if their F1s are faster, I'm hoping they just finish the race.
 
Don't forget teams now have to start the race with the same fuel load left after quaifying, so other teams may very well be sand-bagging and trading qualifying spots for better race day pit-stop strategy. We'll see.

maomaonsx, that is not the case for today's race. It is tomorrow (qualifying) where you have to choose how much fuel to fill in. Today it is safe to assume that everybody had an almost empty tank.

Oops, yeah, I thought that was the final qualifying. But the strategy still applies, since the first qualifying determines the order to qualify on the second day.

Surprise! Schumi out of the podium after 19 races! And Ferrari after 50-something races!

Ok, they did everything wrong

: wrong tires at the start but he was able to catch first position again after the additional stop anyway. Then the brake deflector broke... nice race, maybe too many peace car entries but a nice race anyway.

Honda? They did not surprise but they did not bad too.
