F1 Fanatic

Out in Qualifying 1
18. Haddleton (Force India)
19. Sunderland (Caterham)
20. Hofman (HRT)
21. d’Hazorme (Caterham)
22. Kirkham (HRT)
23. Frog (Marussia)
24. Needham (Toro Rosso)

The rain hadn’t disappeared from yesterday’s second practice as Q1 started in Monaco. Ben Needham was the first casualty of the weather, crashing at Tabac before he’d set a lap, and bringing out the Red Flags. The usual six looked set to join him but Oli Peacock put in a fantastic late lap in the Marussia to go 13th, and put Ben Haddleton out in Q1.

:D :D :D COME ON Q3!!!!!!

Sandwiched by the HRTs :(

Out in Qualifying 2
11. Butler (Mercedes)
12. Armos (Force India)
13. Mathershaw (Ferrari)
14. Chan (Sauber)
15. Peacock (Marussia)
16. Cucamest (Toro Rosso)
17. Morley (Williams)

Butler once again missed out on Q3 by the narrowest of margins, just behind Downton of Lotus, of whom was lucky to get into Q3. Mathershaw was the biggest surprise, however, only managing thirteenth place. For some reason, his Ferrari just didn’t look quite right navigating the narrow streets of Monte Carlo in the wet conditions. Peacock did a fantastic job to finish 15th in his Marussia, the highest qualifying position of the team thus far.
Morley, unfortunately had quite a heavy crash into the Nouvelle chicane. Suffering from spray from the car in front, he couldn’t quite place his braking point correctly, clipping the back of Cucamest’s Toro Rosso, and sliding into the barrier. The Toro Rosso suffered a puncture from the incident and went on to crash in the next corner.
