American Qualifying Results
A predictable (the front row at least) result for the qualifying session. The two Ferrari's obliterated the rest of the field, with Michael the only person into the 1:10's.
The shock of the field however was not the performance that Ferrari showed, but the apparent lack of performance from the world champion Alonso.
He has been shown up by his team mate Fisichella all weekend, and just cannot seem to get to grips with the Indy circuit.
As much a shock is the apparent pace of both the BMW and Honda cars. Both teams seem genuinely pacey this weekend, with Davidson (Honda's 3rd driver) setting the pace most of the weekend.
Let's hope the GP will be a touch more exciting than last year.

Willi Weber on ‘SchumiGate’
Willi Weber, Michael Schumacher's manager has hi out at the comments from Joaquin Verdegay. He has been reported to have told Bild newspaper, “If you make a mistake and lose control of your car, then of course you brake harder, Everyone who drives a car knows this. This alleged proof is ridiculous. None of the three stewards sat in the car, only Michael.”
He has also said that Joaquin Verdegay should not have even been on the stewards comity, saying “The gentleman is Spanish, like Alonso, It was not a good idea to let him judge. Then you can ask the wolf how Red Riding Hood is.”
Well Willi, it works both ways, Schumi has got away with murder (in F1 terms) driving for Ferrari before now, as the FIA are too afraid to say Boo to the team. It's about time Schumi got told off. Plus there was only one Spaniard on the comity, and the other two members obviously agreed else the penalty would not have been given.
