Button came close though; only 0.009 seconds behind Vettel! Poor timing by Hamilton as he got the flag just before he could start a final attempt.

Speaking of 'poor timing' Ferry, how about Nico Rosberg????
How a so-called Factory Team can screw up so badly is beyond me!!!
Be a busy day this Sunday, the serious racing starts at 10:30 ADST with the Bathurst 1000 and for light relief the Japanese GP kicks off at 16:00 ........

Possibly because 100% of their efforts are centered on Schumacher?

Anyways...I'd sure love to see Alonso or Button in the same machine as Vettel....
