    An excellent qualifying session ended with Hamilton on pole followed by Sutil. Sutil had a brilliant Q3 but was let down by a small wobble at Lesmo resulting Hamilton beating him by 0.2 seconds. The Ferrari of Kimi was behind them on row 2. So the Force India IS better than the Ferrari :)

    On the two drivers on new cars, Liuzzi managed an impressive 7th place but Fisi could only get 14.

    Here is how they all line up for tomorrow:

    1. Hamilton (KERS)
    2. Sutil
    3. Kimi (KERS)
    4. Heikki (KERS)
    5. Rubens
    6. Button
    7. Liuzzi
    8. Alonso (KERS)
    9. Vettel
    10. Webber
    11. Trulli
    12. Grosjean (KERS)
    13. Kubica
    14. Fisichella
    15. Heidfeld
    16. Glock
    17. Nakajima
    18. Rosberg
    19. Beumi
    20. Algesuari

    An exciting race ahead with the KERS powered cars predicted to gain 15 metres right at the start. Sutil better watch out!

    Nobody can believe it! GF is on pole position for the Belgium GP!

    This pole is the result of an extremely quick car which was evident throughout the qualifying session. He was quickest in Q1 which is not a fuel dependent run and also 4th quickest in Q2 before taking pole in the dying seconds of Q3.

    I hope all of you will be watching Force India take what can be their first podium finish. I really want them to win, but considering that this is the first time they have done so well, I am counting out the nerves and butterflies they would have built up in the past 24 hours.

    I am with the Force! Are you?

    As the topsy-turvy qualifying sessions continue, this time it was the silver McLarens which came out on top of everyone else once the dust settled. The Brawns needless to say are a close second.

    However, the Brawns of RB (3rd) and JB (5th) are heavier than both the silver cars by almost ten Kgs. This means they can gain an advantage by pitting much later thanks to their heavier fuel load.

    KR is the first of the Ferraris in 6th with his new teammate Luca Badoer (LB) down in last place.

    The good news for Indian fans is that AS of Force India managed to reach Q2 and got a commendable 12th position for himself. His teammate GF is in 16th position.

    Here is the final Qualifying result:

    1. LH
    2. HK
    3. RB
    4. SV
    5. JB
    6. KR
    7. NR
    8. FA
    9. MW
    10. RK
    11. NH
    12. AS
    13. TG
    14. Romain Grosjean (New Renault Drivier)
    15. SB
    16. GF
    17. KN
    18. JT
    19. JA
    20. LB

    An exciting race ahead!

    It was brilliant, with 5 people challenging for Pole in the last minute itself!

    Thanks to the mountain weather at Nurburg, we were witness to a very exciting qualifying session with Mark Webber finally ending up at Pole.

    Hamilton (LH), Button (JB), Barrichello (RB), Vettel (SV) and Webber (MW) were all challenging for Pole with RB on Pole for the longest time. However, in the last minute MW went fastest with all the other drivers after him coming close but getting second position consecutively.

    Earlier, Q2 was one of the most topsy-turvy sessions ever. RB, who called that session a 'nice one' was on Pole then. The session that JB called 'sheer madness' saw Sutil (AS), get into the Q3 due to very lucky timing. AS eventually got a very respectable sevent position behind the two McLarens and ahead of the two Ferraris!

    Here is a rundown for tomorrow's German GP:

    1. MW
    2. RB
    3. JB
    4. SV
    5. LH
    6. HK
    7. AS
    8. FM
    9. KR
    10. NP
    11. NH
    12. FA
    13. KN
    14. JT
    15. NR
    16. RK
    17. SB (Buemi)
    18. GF
    19. TG
    20. SB (Bourdais)

    A hell of a race awaited!
