The qualifying for this weekend's German Grand Prix certainly wasn’t the worst we’ve seen, but it didn’t exactly set my heart racing either (which seems to be a worrying development in 2010 F1 qualification).

Yet again, the first session was a forgone conclusion, the second session wasn’t much better, but there was at least a bit of excitement for the final shoot out.


Qualifying One

Di Grassi tentatively made his way around the track for his one and only run to start this session. The Brazilian had been having gear trouble all weekend and simply returned to the pits before even finishing his lap.

So the honour of being "first man to set a time" fell to Petrov with a 1:18:210. Interestingly, for this session, and come to think of it the next two as well, all of the top teams opted for an early time (probably through fear of rain).

The session was killed five minutes in when an unfortunate Liuzzi caught a little bit of wet ground exiting the final turn. His Force India was sent spinning into the pit wall and the session was red flagged (Liuzzi was completely fine. As for his career...).

Now, if you ask me, the session should have ended there and then as we now knew who the seven dropouts would be.

Unfortunately, the session restarted and predictably the three new teams all quickly found themselves in the dropout zone.

It was clear from the start that the fast teams were going to be Ferrari and Red Bull which at least set the scene for future excitement, but, as ever, Q1 was a disaster.

Q1 Top Three

Alonso
Vettel
Massa

Out

Trulli, Kovalainen, Glock (who will in fact start last due to a gear box change), Senna, Liuzzi, Yamamoto (the super slow Japanese driver this time unfairly replaces talented Chandhok), di Grassi (who never set a time)


Qualifying Two
