Horrible FP3 after an encouraging FP2. Not sure how much to expect from Qualifying. 7th would be great.

His KERS didn't work.

When FP3 started his KERS was not working on his installation lap, i dont think they could fix it during the session....so he ran without it
I hope they can fix it for qualy

But immature fanboy comments and trolling should not be encouraged. There ought to be a mandatory minimum age and IQ requirement for posting on these boards, that will keep out the clowns.
MS was fun to watch yesterday, exploring the limits of the car. Hope they can fix the KERS issue in time for quali, it would be annoying to have yet another weekend ruined because of the KERS\DRS.

Cheers mate, hadn't picked up on that.
Both Mercs looking horrible in Q1. Barely faster than the front runners on quicker rubber, and slower than Findia and Renault. Could be struggling to make Q3. Whats happened since yesterday??
I think a miracle is needed for Q3. His car is all over the place.

That's code for struggling like hell, isn't it?
Rosberg is doing great by comparison! Wonder whats wrong with Schumi!

i'd like to think his kers wasnt working again
Would be interesting to see what happened there. Didn't they manage to fix KERS?
sh*t qualfying. It has to be said. 
Slower than his fp2 time, what´s going on wtf?
1.2 secs behind Rosberg.
F-duct playing up again, surely!

he always used to do that in practice sessions even back in his ferrari and benneton days
Disastrous!
Hard tyres?
Disastrous!
Button having similar issues. Odd what happened there.
Those were some consistently slow quali laps. 
A combination of KERs and a wet set-up?

Thery were just terrible. I bet he will loose his front wing against Petrov as well.
Soft tyres confirmed
Maybe like last race he is on wet setup?

Pretty disappointing session for Michael, I would actually be happier if it wasn't a problem with the car as it would mean he had a fair shot at qualifying.
Hope it's a wet race tomorrow, could be fun and games.

He says the car was fine with primes but once he put the options on he loses around 1 second to NR and he couldn´t extract them at all
What happen all the time in S3? 24,1 against 23,3 for Nico.

I know what you refer to from his first career, but I don't think it's anything like what we saw over the past two days. That was simply and ordinarily struggling with the car and track. Just look at the times. If he really was exploring the limits, it evidently got him nowhere today, contrary to the past.
Awefull setup. I haven't seen one clean lap.
What the heck was that? No softs left? Did he make a mistake and pull in the pits like Button did?
I'm just holding out for rain now.
Its clear the balance on the car is way off. That doesn't excuse his performance gap to Nico, but in different conditions the balance could swing right back Michaels way. Or he'll lose a wing. Can't wait to find out!

And he disappoints yet again. I don't know why I watch qualifying expecting anything even average.
Unless it rains tomorrow and he stops making mistakes it's going to be a very long race.
The real problem is that he will start just behind Petrov...
What I would like to know is what is happening with Schumi in quali, this one in particular where there is a very big difference in Q3 times.
Barichello, Button, Heidfeld and Schumacher owned today by their team mates. Do old gunners have more problem with Pirelli on one lap performance? Did their time already pass as far as qualifying concerned?
Most of the time was lost on a short 25 sec sector with a not very demanding chicane and one mid-fast corner.
Can´t understand.
Can´t understand.
He struggled the last 1-2 corners in sector 3 a lot. Very odd.
I think it is the time for the inevitable.
Here's hoping for a wet race tomorrow.
Anyone know the possibilites for rain for the race?

My German isn't great, but looks like rain early morning, dry race, then rain in the evening?
Shame. I'd be in the mood for a wet race if the drivers were actually allowed to drive in the rain. At least we won't see a race pottering around behind the safety car in damp conditions.

i think it maybe wont rain all the race, but to have a race without any shower, i think it wont happen.
Points finish tomorrow will be a good result. 7th-8th will be great, considering.

70% chance of rain at race start and very cold for a summer day.

I'm just glad if there's no heavy rain (none predicted anywhere I looked), as that would mean safety car laps galore. A few showers, why not...

Have you also made the effort to go to the Button thread to demand his retirement? And if not, why not?
