I’m afraid the qualifying session that promised much, delivered little, in yet another predictable Formula One event. Strong performances from Kubica, Hamilton, and Massa were simply not enough to stop Red Bull’s sixth consecutive pole position.

 

Qualifying One

The Monaco GP was the most likely place to see an upset in Qualifying one, but as usual the first session remains the most pointless event in global motorsport!

Chandhok was out first and set an early time of 1:23:478, but he was quickly toppled by Kubica and Glock. Then the madness ensued as practically every car took to the track to get times down in fear of a big upset.

The session was OK I guess; we got to see a lot of cars on track and at least the likes of Massa and Rosberg putting in fast times made a welcome change. However, with five minutes left, all of the slow, new cars were in the knockout zone.

Lotus threatened, a bit, but as expected, no new teams made it into Q2.

Q1 Top Three:

Massa, Webber, Vettel

Out:

Kovalainen, Trulli, Glock, di Grassi, Senna, Chandhok, Alonso

 

Qualifying Two

The first time was eventually set by Petrov with a 1:15:576, but he was quickly knocked down by his super impressive team mate.

Five minutes in and the times were as follows:

Kubica, Petrov, Massa, Liuzzi, Schumacher, Buemi, Rosberg, Sutil, Button, Alguersuari, Hamilton, Webber, Kobayashi, de la Rosa, Vettel, Hulkenberg, Barrich...
