Ferrari Team Quotes – Kimi Raikkonen: “Unfortunately, today we were just not
quick enough to get into Q3 and there was not much we could do about
it. It’s logical that, as other cars improve, race after race, we pay a
higher price for our decision to stop developing the F60. Tomorrow, we
can expect a tough race as it is very difficult to overtake here, so
getting into the points will be very difficult. It’s true that anything
can happen on a track like this and we will have to do our best to make
the most of every opportunity, maybe getting some help through a good
start as we have usually managed in the last few races. As for the
tyres, I think that tomorrow, there could be a problem with wear on the
softer tyre, even if the situation could improve during the race.”
Chris Dyer: “A really difficult qualifying for us,
even more so than we expected. We knew it would be tough, but we felt
we could have made it through to the final part of the session. But
honestly, today we did not have the performance to do that. Kimi did
two good laps in Q2, but it was not enough. Tomorrow’s race will be
very long, so let’s hope we can make up some places at the start and
then try and get into the points.”
FUCK ISRAEL 
the car performance looks quite dissapointing, huh? anyway, i guess it’s just like Kimi said, they have stopped developing the car while others are improving… i’m not quite optimistic about tomorrow, but i think Kimi can pass a few cars at the start and hopefully he can pick up some points for the race!Good luck Kimi!! Keep flying!=)

Don’t be sad or disappointed guys! The F60 isn’t a top car. Kimi did his best and I’m 100% sure!

I still he can make us happy by doing well in the race and winning crucial points. Though I`m happy enough to see him giving it all in last laps of Q2. :PGood Luck Kimi.

Hopefully there will be some luck for Kimi.My FP3 and Q1 photos are up – http://www.flickr.com/photos/whippeltree/sets/72157622446521458/Unfortunately I only have 1 not-so-great shot of Kimi, and but 2 of Kubica and Alonso that I’m rather pleased with.

Yes, the F60 is crap so all the more credit to Kimi that, as usual, he hasn’t said anything bad about the team (unlike Fisi who said the car is driving himand not him driving the car)…and, even more credit that he’s able to get the most out of it!!!If Ferrari don’t realize this they don’t deserve Kimi!Good Luck, Kimi!!!

Great shots ribbonseal!!! Good luck with the driver’s parade. I’m curious what did Paul say about the Youtube Kim-push incident ?:)

@YiNing thanks! Paul said that it was no big deal n he didn’t know why it was blown up into such a big thing. He said the atmosphere on the grid is always very tense and kimi may have had a bad day. He did say he was very close to kimi’s stuff but didn’t step on them. Am at the track now – it’s blisteringly hot and the stands at turn 11 are already packed
