Pole position

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.

Ferrari museum is really good it is nice seeing all the cars through the years.

Good eating in that part of the world as well. Ragu alla cinghiale. Mmmm.

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

They moved that barrier further back after Button hit it, so maybe they'll have another go.

It didn't look all that hard an impact. The techno-armco (or whatever it was called) seemed to work and you could see how it absorbed the energy over time. Which often looks more dramatic but of course the more sudden the stop the more the damage to the squidgy human component. Kubica doing similar speeds nearly head on into a concrete wall in Montreal looked far worse.

Worth flying one's Tornado over there for a bit of that

Actually I went to the Flugmusem here last weekend, they had a Tornado in there. And a Eurofighter. Quite a few others as well.

I have a strange urge to go to an airshow now, haven't been to one for years.

Thankfully it looks as if Perez is OK and only has concussion. I'd say there was no chance of him racing tomorrow though

Let's hope not!

If he has concussion that makes it sound unlikely. The clarity of thought and reaction times needed really don't sound like a good combination with concussion!

Perez won't be racing.

Hamilton is down in 9th on the grid. Most doubt he'd have got on the front row anyway, but that delay probably cost him several places. Especially as he decided to sit waiting in the pit lane for several minutes, letting his tyres go cold before going out for his last try.

I think the only man who can beat Vettel today is Vettel.
