Rosberg 1st ever P1 Qualifying
Congrats to rosberg and his first P1 Qualifying position. Dam he nailed that time half a second quicker than anybody.
Im thinking though in the race he wont have that much advantage. Is the W duct what is giving them such an advantage in qualifying as you can use the DRS throughout the lap. Well shall see tomorrow. He is such a happy humble guy he definately deserves hes first win.

Yes many congrtulations to Nico, what an amazing lap.

Re: Rosberg 1st ever P1 Qualifying
an amazing lap, totally deserved it. i think they swapped the bonus straight line speed they have for extra downforce which has given them the performance boost they needed.
Re: Rosberg 1st ever P1 Qualifying
Yup well done, that could be the best lap he's ever driven. If it's cool tomorrow I believe he has a genuine chance for also his first win.

Nah, lets leave it for time being.
It should be an epic seeing how Rosberg manages to race a Pole Position to a 14th place

I'm not slowing down for Nico ........

It's a good day to be a Rosberg fan, but I feel tomorrow it won't be.
Danger is real, fear is choice.

I am usually scared by Kobi


Re: Rosberg 1st ever P1 Qualifying
Very pleased for Rosberg - that was a belting lap...
Looks like a great race tommorrow...
All the ingredients are there for excitement - fast cars further back and out of place, Mercedes being a potential tyre eater, Kobi near the front, Vettel tiddled off, Lewis fired up...
Can't wait!

Re: Rosberg 1st ever P1 Qualifying
Damn, I was rooting for him to be 7th. But when I saw his time pop up I was like "uh oh, there better be a penalty for him". Anyway, congrats to him, too bad for me and my thread. 

Re: Rosberg 1st ever P1 Qualifying
His lap was something else, I think they were a bit unfair on sky calling it a "decent benchmark". Croft did try to accelerate it to a "thronemark" or something silly like that but neither of them seemed to clock how quick it was until everyone else did their laps.
Same with Kobayashi popping up into 4th, hardly got a mention.

That was a long time coming; having scored fastest lap in his very first Grand Prix. I hope his first win may come soon too, though I have this feeling his team isn't really behind him.
