I noticed there was no countdown timer or places being shown during Q1 - do we now have to pay Bernie to see that too?

Also, how can Manor build a car that won't start, when it ran yesterday, or is it political and they don't really want to qualify it? Odd...

I know it is a new engine - but how can McLaren be so cr*p at the moment? The handling looks to be all over the place. Ron Dennis doing his Nero impression, but I imagine it isn't so pleasant in the team bus at home time. Shocking performance.

Do you think that JB's positive speech about McL is to take a bit of wind out of FA's sails.

Seems quite a stupid decision given qualifying is soley to determine those places.
Probably by the same people who've made the new F1.com website, which is horrendous.
