What if a driver was declared medically unfit to be in a car for Friday and Saturday but rather than replacing him the team took a gamble and he was declared fit to race on Sunday morning. Would they allow him in the race then?

 

[Jos the Boss]

Well Massa is around 2 seconds slower than alonso, and the 4 tenths Alonso brings to the car, so if we take away 7 seconds from Alonso's time we would get Massa's average time which then shall be decided if in the 107% time

 

[Josh]

How do you get 7 with 2+0.4?

 

[RasputinLives]

Massa maths! Anyway, does this go down as Schumi's 69th pole or another P6?

 

[no-FIAt-please]

P6, much like in Spain it would have been McLaren's 150th pole but it says they still have 149.

 

[Jos the Boss]

But Mclaren were excluded from the results?

 

[no-FIAt-please]

Yes but Schumacher's is only a penalty, not a disqualification.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Mark Webber will be credited with Pole Position for tomorrow, it won't be a 69th pole for Michael Schumacher as he starts 6th.

 

[mjo]

According to http://www.formula1.com/results/season/2012/869/ Michael Schumacher is on pole position.

 

[Jos the Boss]

James Allen said in the press Conference it's Schumi's 69th pole position

 

[Slyboogy]

That is strange, I remember recently someone in the same position got to keep their pole for the records, but it won't count for Shumacher? I'm sure Raikkonen got to keep a few of his during the 2005 season where he got pole but had to change engines.

 

[Jos the Boss]

I thought it would count as 69th pole, cus he qualified there and Webber starts on pole, so is pole where you qualify or where you start?

 

[Slyboogy]

Where you qualify is what I've been told, unless it's an exclusion.

 

[Brogan]

Schumacher qualified in pole position.

Webber starts in pole position.

Today the first 6 drivers were covered by 6.1 seconds. Anyone know what the record for closeness of the first six is?

 

[FB]

Has to be that race at Monza in the 60's or Spain 81.

 

[Wombcat]

In Monza 71 and Spain 81 the first 5 were nose to tail. The 6th was about 30 seconds off. So this may well be the race with the top 6 closest together.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Monza 71, 32.3 separated the top 6, Spain 81 28.5
