Tonio Liuzzi – DNQ

Managed to be 1.8 seconds outside the 107% qualifying cut of time. That’s actually not bad considering the car basically hadn’t had any real running until qualifying.

Narain Karthikeyan – DNQ

Narain was over 1.5 seconds slower than Tonio, that’s not good but he is only just back in Formula 1 and basically hasn’t driven a grand prix car for years until qualifying. Still, he will struggle to keep up with Liuzzi.

The Team

A terrible pre-season preparation led to a terrible showing in Australia. With that said it looks like the car is fundamentally good based on the time Liuzzi managed. If they manage more running time in practice for the next grand prix I don’t expect the team fail to qualify again.
