whats wrong with Fernando?


Webber tops hectic qualifying at Spa

I think he has a wet weather setup.. And I don't understand why Ferrari called Fernando back in. He just had to drive another lap and not waiting till the end of the session.

By the way. Good drive from Kubica!

I ended up missing qualifying (was in the hairdresser's for three and a half hours ) but kind of wish I hadn't bothered watchng the replay of it now - I mean seriously - what happened there??? I mean I expected Red Bull to be ahead of Fernando, maybe a Mclaren or two in the worst case but to be tenth and nearly two seconds off pole?? I am confused

Oh, OK, now I'm a little less confused

Quote:Fernando Alonso (10th, Q3 - 1m 47.441s)
“Obviously, I can’t be pleased with this result, but it has to be said that if there is one track where grid position is less critical than others, then it is this one, both because of the track characteristics and because the weather can be very changeable: in some cases the right decision at the right time can see you make up an advantage of a minute, therefore we will have to be clever and make the most of every opportunity. In Q3, I only had one set of new soft tyres left and I used it on my second run when, unfortunately, there was a bit of rain. There’s no point in making a drama over this tenth place: we must stay calm and concentrated, because qualifying is one thing and the race is quite another when the points are given out, not today.”

I didn't buy the wet weather set-up story, reeks of Spanish media bullcrap

I dont buy the wet weather set up either, Massa is there too although he has couple of mistake in his run but he is still there in front of Fernando, so whats went wrong?

don't worry guys & girls, Fernando will get through the 1st corner & fight back = )

best if it rains as I suspect Fernando was running pretty high downforce (based on the speedtraps)
