It's the karma

For what? 

 

Apparently one idiot on German TV (I was told so, didn't see it myself) said it was karma for hitting Vettel, when in fact Vettel made a mistake by braking too late

An old tradition restored, they did this back in the early 90's apparently  

 

Plus, there's no engines there so McLaren managed to win without having Honda crap in the back

They interviewed Christian Horner before the race and he said they 'would take the FIA out first, they'll be watching track limits so they're excluded'

Welcome  

[heywoodu 15,353]

Qualifying session 2 of 3 is about to start, live on Eurosport. First it's two hours, then a one hour break and then two more hours until midnight, after which the starting grid is known.

 

Last night was session 1 and the Toyota's were fast in LMP1. The biggest fights are expected in LMP2 though: they're bloody fast, only about 10 seconds behind LMP1, and there is a ton of competitive cars (whereas in LMP1 there are only 5 competitive cars). LMP2 just has one big problem: the cars are all pretty new and untested and they are expecting a whole lot of electronical problems. If that stays out and with some luck, an LMP2 might even get on the overall podium.
