Fan-******’-tastic! Are we seeing Williams’ 2011 potential?
Nin13 (@) said on 6th November 2010, 17:10
I’m thinking that too. But they’ll need both Barichello and Hulkenberg.
azoris said on 6th November 2010, 17:17
I totally agree! Current line-up should be retained.
nik (@nik) said on 6th November 2010, 17:21
Don’t be mistaken, the Williams is not a second faster than the remainder of the field :) Combination of circumstances today but still a fantastic result.
This will completely re-define Hulk’s career – he will have agents, media and sponsors throwing themselves at him which will change everything. I have always had faith in his abilities, I hope he finds a good race seat next year (I don’t think it will be at Williams).
US_Peter (@us_peter) said on 6th November 2010, 17:26
If Webber does indeed leave RBR could we see an all German line up? Honestly I think he’ll stay at Williams and try to build the team around himself for the future.
Dan Thorn (@dan-thorn) said on 6th November 2010, 17:28
I love it – half an hour and people are already linking him to RBR.
nik (@nik) said on 6th November 2010, 17:31
no chance and little chance
Red Bull have a conga line of young drivers and Williams have no cash
Icthyes (@icthyes) said on 6th November 2010, 17:43
None of Red Bull’s current Young Drivers have ever shown the potential Nico has. With Williams short of cash they might offer a buyout.
Not that I think it will happen.
nik (@nik) said on 6th November 2010, 17:45
ye but that would involve Dr Marko and RBR admitting that their program sucks and that they just jump onto whoever is the new hot thing and fork out the $$
a bit like Manchester City
BasCB said on 6th November 2010, 17:31
I expect Weber to use this well, he always knew how to make the deals for Schumi and did pretty well for Ralf as well.
damonsmedley said on 6th November 2010, 17:36
@nik – If you were still thinking of setting up that UK proxy thing so we can watch the BBC website, can we erect a forum topic maybe?
nik (@nik) said on 6th November 2010, 17:57
ahh yes, I will post in the forum tomorrow – sorry forgot about it (I actually couldn’t use it tonight, not sure why)
Spectator said on 6th November 2010, 17:37
They are fighting to survive so i dont believe on 2011.this last 2 years with rosberg werent the best but williams could have won a couple races bad luck bad 2nd drivers and engines made williams the team that it is now but the chassis is still one of the best good luck Williams and good drive and set up for hulk we could see another shock like the 08 italian gp with Vet
US_Peter (@us_peter) said on 6th November 2010, 19:04
I hadn’t even thought about that until now, but with Rosberg’s bad qualifying result today and Hülkenberg taking pole with his previous team, Rosberg must be feeling a bit extra low today.
Dan Thorn (@dan-thorn) said on 6th November 2010, 17:07
That was unbelievable. He and the team really nailed that – And not just pole, but a crushing pole. Fantastic.
damonsmedley said on 6th November 2010, 17:08
Well; who predicted that?! What a session! :D
US_Peter (@us_peter) said on 6th November 2010, 17:26
No one. That’s who.
nik (@nik) said on 6th November 2010, 17:36
wont stop 80% of motorsport media from claiming that they knew this was going to happen, it was ‘expected’ yadda yadda yadda
what sucks is that the journos are going to drag the hulk story out between now and abu dhabi with all sorts of nonsense.
Mike said on 6th November 2010, 18:12
Why not drag it out? Have you seen anything more exciting happen in the last six months?
azoris said on 6th November 2010, 23:42
hmmm…interesting, but you never know!
Speed Damon said on 7th November 2010, 11:01
DAMN! So pleased for Hulkenberg taking pole. However he’s messed up my predictions so I am still pretty annoyed. Great pole time though. Over a second faster than Baby Schumi
Victor. said on 6th November 2010, 17:08
Fantastic qualifying. Vettel in front of Webber, Hamilton in front of Alonso, HULKENBERG on pole. Loved it.
wow said on 6th November 2010, 17:09
cosworth?………..
James_mc (@james_mc) said on 6th November 2010, 17:10
I believe their first pole since France 1999. Might have missed something though. Oddly enough that was taken by Rubens!
Dan Thorn (@dan-thorn) said on 6th November 2010, 17:12
Technically that was under the Ford name though, must be early 80′s since a Cosworth branded engine last plonked it on pole.
James_mc (@james_mc) said on 6th November 2010, 17:21
I think I’ve got it down to either the first or the last race of 1983…. I think…. :-S
Icthyes (@icthyes) said on 6th November 2010, 17:55
Rosberg at the 1982 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch is the closest I can find. Even when they had Cosworth in the name they were still called Ford-Cosworth, it just started being badged as Ford-only when they came back to winning ways with Benetton.
Dan Thorn (@dan-thorn) said on 6th November 2010, 17:11
Interesting, when was their last pole? Anybody know?
nik (@nik) said on 6th November 2010, 17:32
being a new supplier today, with engine-equilazation, is very different to the old days
cosworth entering f1 was ‘build an engine that produces x horsepower’ rather than ‘use x specs to build the most powerful engine you can
big diff
Skett said on 6th November 2010, 18:03
It is still use x specs to build the most powerful engine you can (well maybe its more best engine, since torque curve and fuel economy come into it), its just that the specs are incredibly limiting
Daffid said on 6th November 2010, 18:06
I’ve been thinking Lotus’s rush to the Renault engine may not be the best idea, but it’s hard to know what’s car and what’s engine.
Newey panned the Cosworth engine saying since they weren’t allowed Mercedes engines, and Ferrari would never let them win, he had no choice but Renault.
But I think that either that Cosworth unit is pretty good, or it’s rubbish and Williams have a fantastic car. They’ve been out-performing Force India who have the Merc power-house. Probably 50/50
RFB said on 6th November 2010, 19:18
It might even be the first time ever that all engine manufacturers got a pole position during the season.
Looked as far as 1971 at which point I gave up with the teams changing engine supplier in the middle of the season.
Hector. said on 6th November 2010, 17:09
Happy for Williams after long six difficult years with nothing.
BillHicks said on 6th November 2010, 17:09
That was brilliant to watch… what a show :-)
Mike said on 6th November 2010, 17:20
Every now and again, Formula one reminds me while I’ll never be able to give it up. Hulkenburg…. incredible…. Imagine what Murry Walker would say!
Scribe (@scribe) said on 6th November 2010, 17:23
You know it’s hardly been a bad season for F1 but my god thats so true. And i nearly had to skip this quali session.
What a fantastic result.
Rohan said on 6th November 2010, 17:09
Awesome. Just awesome. Really looking forward to tomorrow.
RobertG said on 6th November 2010, 20:20
I want Hulkenberg to win :)
hajr said on 6th November 2010, 17:10
Nico was 0:01.049s faster then Vettel :) WOW!
zcorpi said on 6th November 2010, 17:10
So if the drivers end up in the same place . Alonso will still lead the championship points right?
US_Peter (@us_peter) said on 6th November 2010, 17:28
Yes. He’ll be a good margin ahead still.
Younger Hamilton said on 6th November 2010, 17:37
This is not about Alonso today its about THE HULK SMASH in qualifying so lets not talk about that for now.
Noname said on 6th November 2010, 18:16
No.
Too Short.
Icthyes (@icthyes) said on 6th November 2010, 17:57
ALO 241
WEB 235
VET 224
HAM 222
Which would leave Webber able to win the championship on his own, if he wins the race.
Alvaro said on 6th November 2010, 18:10
Hamilton and Vettel must drive very aggresive tomorrow; otherwise they will have no real chances to win the Championship in the last race if Alonso ends 5th or better
US_Peter (@us_peter) said on 6th November 2010, 19:07
Yep. This is the last chance for both of them. I think we could see them both on the podium tomorrow too.
Jonathan said on 6th November 2010, 19:09
We would go into the last race with 19 points separating the top four drivers. That’s approximately 8 points under the old system.
Incredible.
Danny said on 6th November 2010, 17:11
WOW..what a fantastic qualifying session.. Way to go nico.. The race tomorrow will be amazing
giorgio said on 6th November 2010, 17:12
Can anyone remind me how Hulkenberg’s starts were this season? Does he get off the line good or he might loose the place down to turn 1?
Rohan said on 6th November 2010, 17:15
They’re generally better than Rubens’ starts, but aren’t much above average unfortunately.
Scribe (@scribe) said on 6th November 2010, 17:24
Still he’s got a good start of leading into the first corner, Vettle isn’t the greatest starter either.
f1alex said on 6th November 2010, 17:29
Neither’s Webber particularly, remember Spa?
I think the start should be quite exciting tomorrow…
US_Peter (@us_peter) said on 6th November 2010, 17:29
If he isn’t taken out by Petrov his starts are usually fine I think. Good thing Petrov’s back in 10th.
BasCB said on 6th November 2010, 17:34
But it might come to something like that, Petrov was up about 5 places last time round before crashing. Now it might be Webber or crashkids Hamilton and Vettel.
I hope he holds on to the lead at least until the stops though. I would like to see what defending skills he has to offer.
James_mc (@james_mc) said on 6th November 2010, 17:12
Sooooo who predicted Hulkenberg on pole for the predictions championship?
Scribe (@scribe) said on 6th November 2010, 17:25
Me. Called it!
I wonder if even one single persons made this call.
US_Peter (@us_peter) said on 6th November 2010, 17:29
I seriously doubt it. Stranger things have happened though.
sumedh said on 6th November 2010, 17:33
If you are the ONLY one, I hope Keith gives you some special prize.. or at the very least a mention in the article.
Todfod (@todfod) said on 6th November 2010, 20:33
Scribe. I really do not know how you saw that coming, or was it posted by mistake? ;)
I could have bet on a Button Q2 exit though. Jenson never disappoints.
Dizzy-A (@david-a) said on 6th November 2010, 20:44
Yeah. Pushed out by Felipe Massa too.
reddevilandy10 said on 6th November 2010, 17:12
I honestly cannot believe this. What an epic qualifying. Fastest by a second? Are we sure that’s not Montoya in a 2004 Williams???
Max said on 6th November 2010, 17:12
Faster more than a second, great pole for Nico! Good luck for him tomorrow, and of course for Webber as well! :D
