What caused him to miss the starts? I don't think he's ever DNQd
France 1996 when the Ferrari engine decided to blow up on the formation lap and Britain 1999 with that enormous accident at Stowe under the red flags.

Three minutes to go, and Bad Luck Schumacher is the fall guy at the moment.

Rosberg is the fall guy in Q1. He missed the chequered flag by milliseconds.

Bad Luck Rosberg anyone?
edit: Karthikeyan held up Grosjean, what a surprise!

Karthikeyan must have blocked at least half the drivers during Q1. Useless, utterly useless.

He missed the chequered flag for Q1 by a few seconds. That's the stuff ROTR is made of.

Britain 1999 must be one. Red flag on lap 1 and he crashed and broke his leg.
France 1996? Engine failure on formation lap.

Webber was very lucky about that. He was about 4 tenths ahead of Rosberg and he stayed in the pits.

If Webber was lucky than Grosjean must have used up at least two of his lives to get into Q2 as he lost BOTH his hotlaps at the end (One due to Karthikeyan and the other by going off at Pouhon) and was only 6 hundreths ahead of Rosberg

Senna's slide at Pouhon was entertaining, but I think he won't get into Q3.

Seeing as he's just gone fastest, something much more sinister than a jam...

Massa, Bad Luck Schumacher, Senna, the two Toro Rossos and Hulkenberg are in the out for Q2. The most astonishing thing? Vergne actually outqualified Ricciardo.

Waiting 5 weeks for formula 1 to return has been worth it! Button pole, Kobayashi 2nd and Maldonado 3rd!!!
Stunning. Just stunning.
First time a Japanese driver on front row? Edit: Sato did it.
