Indonesia Quals A1GP

Running commentary as I watch this half hour quals highlights…
Just watching the quals now - Jonny is up again this week and I just heard he hasn’t had much time in the car due to the fact one of our rookies (Chris) CRASHED our car during practise!!! (repairs keeping Jonny outta the car …)
At this stage of the quals Jonny doesn’t even feature - I don’t think he has been out at all yet.
ok, Jonny comes out.
And already Jonny has pulled a good time lol! (2nd GBR i think) If he’s on fire there is NO way I am going to bed at a reasonable time for work tomorrow! (coverage here between 1030pm and 1 am heeheh)
Ads! grrrrrrrhehhihihihhgrrrrr It’s ok, i can use this time to try and find a pic of the crash!
Ok, back on, no pic of crash yet and here’s Jonny. He’s on used tyres. Right out and clipping the grass on that pesky turn four.
While Jonny is zooming about Alex Young has spun off the track.
Lap time for Jonny - second still and Germany liek 7th. Hmmmm - he’s doing another lap now on new tyres so let’s see how he goes (while he is going around NZ comes back out).
Ok this is more liek it… he’s fastest by a fraction.
Hmm, I am suspicious that the race is actually finished I better be careful looking for pics on the site in case I see something I really shouldn’t see yet!
WOW, Jonny is 3/4 of a sec up on Germany at the split this round! But he lost time on the last segment - if he keeps on liek this he will get pole again loL!
ooo Mexico up to third.
Here’s Jonny again..*watches intently*
He’s ahead at the spilt again!
GOOOOOOOOOOOO YES!!!!! And fastest indivdual lap too! (third race in a row he’s set fastest individual lap in quals…)
France is still out but he is not in a good position to take pole off us - my bet is he can’t but he will leap some places by the looks.
Germany is out now, he’s keen, slipping corners a tad! and he stays in second.
GBR now and Robbie Kerr could move up from his current third position! GOOOOOO Robbie (good luck! seems to be over driving a bit in his keeness - OH! he got second pole!
let’s hope Jonny can take it all the way tonight! I AM SO EXCITED NOW!!!! Not long until Taupo too - I wonder who gets the honours there, Matt or Jonny? and WHERE WILL I BE?!! coz that Friday, Sat and Sunday we get LIVE coverage on channel three!!
A1 Team New Zealand’s Jonny Reid has snatched pole position for the Gudang Garam A1GP Sentul, Indonesia Sprint race with a last-gasp flying lap in the dying minutes of Qualifying. Reid’s aggregate time was just 0.034secs quicker than Great Britain’s Robbie Kerr, who also moved up in the last minute to secure second position from Germany’s Nico Hülkenberg for Sunday’s 15-lap race.
