Pole position

I don't think they used the super soft tyres in final practice but Alonso and the Maclarens did. I reckon they are worth over 1s a lap so I wouldn't be surprised to see them come out ahead.

Well, we'll find out in the next hour!

The McLarens did well on the soft tyre. Hopefully we've got a contest for pole?

Hamilton is doing well, but only just

Perez less so. That looks serious. I hope he's allright.

The whole track looks dicey, but that barrier seems particularly deadly.

So do I and it just shows how lucky Rosberg was. Rather poor form to show his father on the coverage, I think.

Let's hope so.

Didn't do that here.

Trouble is a lot of the energy absorbing potential went when he hit the barrier but because of the angle he didn't slow down much before the 2nd impact.

Amzingly strong those cars though. I saw Mika Hakkinen's one in the science museum

I've seen that car too

I saw Piquet's brabham in the BMW musuem as well. That is scary. 1100hp+ with no traction control and no ABS. The Auto Unions in the Audi museum are pretty awesome too. They didn't think about driver safety in those days.

Ferrari museum is good as well. I love all the 50s and 60s sports racers.

I'm off to Stuttgart to check out the Porsche & Mercedes ones soon.
