Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro 2009 Bahrain GP - Qualifying session
Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro
2009 Bahrain GP - Qualifying session
Sakhir, Saturday April 25
Two cars in the top ten: that’s the outcome of qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix, for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, with Felipe Massa in eighth place and Kimi Raikkonen tenth. The two Ferrari men got through Q1, with the sixth and ninth fastest times and Q2, fourth and ninth; in both cases with Kimi ahead of Felipe. In the final part of qualifying, Felipe was able to get the most out of his last remaining set of the softer tyres, while Kimi used two worn sets, also the softer ones. “We were aware of the current situation in terms of the pecking order and how difficult it would be to get into Q3. You only had to look at the times in the second part of the session, with five cars all within half a tenth,” commented Stefano Domenicali. “The slightest thing and you wouldn’t make it. Cleary this is not a Ferrari-style result, but we have to make a virtue out of necessity. Tomorrow, it will be vital to ensure that first and foremost, we make it to the chequered flag. With these high temperatures, car reliability faces a stiff test. Our aim is simple, to wipe the zero off our score card in the championship.”

Australian Grand Prix Qualifying
Albert Park, Melbourne, Saturday 15th March 2008
The AT&T Williams team showed a steady start to their 2008 campaign, qualifying the two FW30s in P7 and P14 respectively. Both drivers graduated to the second qualifying session comfortably, but a red flag in the second session required a revised running strategy which cost Nakajima track time and Rosberg a valuable set of new option tyres.
Nevertheless, both drivers will start tomorrow’s race confident that they can show well, with Nico Rosberg looking to lead the charge for all-important early season points.
