Dang! P10 then still ahead of Grogro?
And what about his gearbox??
Damn what a day!
2nd race & he's out of luck already! " title="mad" />

No gearbox penalty please " title="pray" /> " title="nono" />

Oh boy this driving me crazy...I need my magnum! " title="ice" />

I remembered they showed on TV a Lotus and a Merc was fighting for position to prepare for the flying lap... I think it was Kimi's outlap... With the spray and everything I guess nobody want to be too close behind another car so I thought Kimi overtook him? Maybe I was totally wrong... h" title="hih" />

Well if he blocked Rosberg then he deserves the penalty! Anyway the rain fucked up everything for Lotus (again).
I just hate rain soooooooooooooo much. Why is it always Kimi who sits in a car which sucks in the rain? (2003 he lost the title coz of that stupid rain in the USA). A few years back Ferrari sucked in the rain and now that Kimi is at Lotus that car is also shitty under wet conditions. ker" title="hiker" />

Anyway even if it´s dry Kimi will have a hard race as he will have to fight with peeps this time which means that he will stress his tyres much more.

BTW no matter if dry or wet I would be surprised when Alonso doesnt win the race tomorrow. Doubt that Massa has a chance to fight him (if Alonso doesnt already get him at the start). I think Mercedes and FI will also be very strong.

Then let's hope Kimi can end where he starts, getting one point.
Or is that too much to ask?
Pray tell claudie! " title="see" /> h" title="hih" />

+1 " title="" />

All this talk after the first race how Lotus is fast was very exaggerated IMO. It's the same as last year when everybody was saying "when will Lotus finally win a race, they are so fast" " title="roll" /> Yeah sure, they are very fast when the conditions are just perfect for them but when not, they are nothing special. They are bad in the rain, they are not that fast in quali... even if race pace is very important, it's not everything. Look at Mercedes today, faster in dry and wet. Ferrari looked okay in dry and much better than Lotus when it was wet. Sorry for being pessimistic but after Australia and FP yesterday, today's qualifying results are just... h" title="hih" />

The car sucks in the wet. Period!

i dont think Alonso will win either.

Kimi Räikkönen Looking to Bounce Back After Tough Qualifying Finale

Hampered by the rain and demoted by a penalty, it seems Kimi’s luck was out today in Malaysia. But, if anyone who knows how to mount a comeback, it’s the Iceman…
Kimi Räikkönen Looking to Bounce Back After Tough Qualifying Finale

How was qualifying for you?

The car felt okay in the dry but then it started to rain which wasn’t what we wanted. We seem to lack grip on the intermediate tyres and they were what we used for the final session so it wasn’t possible to go any faster. We wanted more from today but tomorrow is what counts.

What is it about the wet weather performance that hasn’t quite clicked yet?

We still have similar issues to those we experienced last year in the wet and it’s to do with getting the tyres working correctly. The team are working on a solution, but we don’t have it where we want it yet so we weren’t as quick when it rained as we were in the dry. When it gets wet it gets more fun, just not so fast….

There’s more rain forecast for the race tomorrow…

We’ll see how the weather is and take it from there. If it’s mixed up then we have to try to make the right decisions at the right time. It’s the same for everybody.

You’ll be starting tenth after a meeting with the stewards; what do you think is possible from there?

It’s a shame to lose the three places but it is what it is. You never know what will happen in the race – especially here – so we’ll do our best and let’s hope we have the speed to get on the podium.

Watched the quali again..and I dont really know where did Räikkönen block Rosberg..at the start of their last quali lap, Räikkönen let Rosberg thru, they were both starting their flying lap..but then Rosberg slowed down and let Perez and Räikkönen thru..and they went..Merc did just dirty work and got their reprimand thru.

Felipe for the win! :D

Shush you.

Or I'll definitely be calling you smelly cat for real " title="giggle" />
