yeah I was against it but looking at it now.. it was the best decision he could have done, although the car is shit but where else should he have gone? RB didn't take him and staying at Lotus? we would feel even worse now if he did. it was a mistake not to go out again of course, you shouldn't take such risks at Q1 but I was sure too he would be safe. the Caterhams/Marussias were a second away from Kimi's time, it was not really expected they would improve that much. and as Bianchi said himself, he did a big mistake which made his lap time look worse at first stint. It's a big shame, especially at this track where you can't overtake and when Kimi felt better in the car. But it just fits to this season that this happened. That it is Bianchi.. and by just a few hundreths will be very hard to get points tomorrow but maybe it will be rain chaos or whatever.. let's see.
I agree with Olga. I saw some companies in similar state.
too many middle man who suddenly decided that they are very important employees (while they are very important arseholes really) and as result communication breaks down. Too many guys who have guaranteed job for life and as result don't do 100%. Small things like an attitude of slowing down towards the end of the day (you know it's not that important that I can finish tomorrow morning...) etc. I have a feeling that this is what is happening to the team. Alonso has better guys because he had time to chose better guys and probably they are under threat from him (possibly verbal abuse at least) if they don't deliver. Kimi's side is not up to the task I think. To have them working Kimi probably has to be a different guy. In reality it's rotten from inside and Stefano had to take at least partial blame for this.

one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star - it's a satanic drug thing you wouldn't understand...
Kimi Raikkonen: Ferrari have 'weaknesses in the system'
Kimi Raikkonen told his Ferrari team to address their "weaknesses" after a mistake ended his qualifying session for Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix.
The Finn, 34, was told he was through to the second qualifying session after posting one of the 16 quickest times.
However, Marussia's Jules Bianchi pushed Raikkonen into 17th, meaning he will start Sunday's race at the Hungaroring near the back of the grid.
"The plan was to go out, but the team said, 'no, you are fine'," he said.
"I questioned it a few times, but they said, 'no need', and we can see the end result.
"Obviously we have to improve, to do things differently because we can see there are weaknesses in the system."
Mercedes' Nico Rosberg, leader of the drivers' championship, took pole, while team-mate Lewis Hamilton will start from the back of the grid after his car caught fire during qualifying.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso qualified fifth fastest, but Raikkonen was 0.7 seconds slower than the Spaniard in the opening session.
Since returning to Ferrari - with whom he won the drivers' championship in 2007 - at the start of the season, Raikkonen has failed to beat Alonso in qualifying or in any of the 10 races.
Raikkonen said: "What happened is not good for me or the team and, although it has been a difficult year, I don't see the point to shout. The mistake is done.
"I cannot always go against advice. We are here as a team, make decisions as a team, and today the outcome was this."
Yep, David was not in Hungary..just my luck..once I have a chance to watch the race my computer gives me blue screen and Kimi gets screwed by his team..And Kimi says he has full confidence in the team! What does he knows we dont?
Oskari Saari tells Kimis race engineer and Kimi were going to go to the track but the order not to go came from higher place. Kimi even had softer tyres on his car.
But yes, at least this gives us a better feeling for the rest of the season for after the break, that is at least, if the team also gets their act together.
