    Another very good qualifying for Bruno in Brazil :) I think Boullier would be very silly and foolish not to resign him for next year!

    He's added to Boullier's headache. A strong race tomorrow and who knows?

    Well done to Bruno Senna for his qualifying performance at his home Grand Prix.

    Perhaps you were previously a bit quick to jump to conclusions, AS?
    I said that I liked him and wished him well. I also said that he can be quick. However, I am a realist and say things the way I see them - which explains my previous criticisms as well as my applause when he does well.

    Very hash drive through and then 4th gear goes. Gutted. This was his last chance to save himself.

    The incident was nobodys fault really, but after that there was nothing he could do. Especially with a faulty gearbox.

    The drive through seemed incredibly harsh to me. I really do get fed up of penalties when there is a racing incident and confused by how they are applied.

    My feelings exactly. That penalty, I was applauding him for showing some guts defending against a very dirty driver.

    Senna ploughed straight into the side of Schumacher, ridiculous piece of driving and deserved the penalty in my opinion.

    Overall he's done alright since coming into the team, I hope it's him and Grosjean next season.

    Link won't open on mobile, but at the time it seemed 50/50 to me. I'll go take a second look.

    Looked like a racing incident to me, but the stewards have a lot more info than us.

    I'd like to see the onboard camera of Senna

    Schumacher turns into him. Senna even said that Schumacher turned in earlier than normal. It is so annoying that every contact nowadays has to be penalised in some way by the stewards.

    Looking at that i do think Senna is more at fault than Schumi but it is in now way a penalty. 60-40.

    I usually don't disagree with the stewards but clearly that drive through was just wrong.

    Penalties are almost demanded when there's contact by some fans these days... I say leave them to it unless it's something totally ridiculous.

    Senna was driving diagonally down the pits straight. He was aiming at Schumacher rather than the corner.
