sssssssss should be qualifying in the top 10 on the gridsssssssss should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
So the R15 clearly is quicker than the 908 in the corners. In fact, I was absolutely amazed to see how late the Audi drivers were braking for the Mulsanne corner.
The Peugeot had a great qualifying session, however they clearly went out for the glory of having set pole position in the last laps of the session. Audi really didn't seem to go too much for the best time (as McNish stated too).
Nice to see the Astons quick enough on the Mulsanne straight, although definitely not quick enough on an entire lap.
I'm really surprised to see how slow the Kolles R10s were on the straight, I was expecting the R10 to be among the quickest in top speed. 317 km/h on the new Tetre Rouge config means around 308 km/h on the circuit as we knew it from '90 up to '06, namely the one where Toyota GT-One did 352 km/h in '99 and the Nissan R90CP hit 366 km/h in '90.
