Rosberg 1st ever P1 Qualifying

[Peter77]

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.

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.

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

It's a good day to be a Rosberg fan, but I feel tomorrow it won't be.

Very good performance from him. Kobi in 3rd now too. Tomorrow will be interesting.

I am usually scared by Kobi , Hamilton may end up in front after the first corner if Kobi gets his way

[GB-fan]

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!

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.

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.
