Seizoen: 2007 - Aflevering: 9 / 163 - Eerst uitgezonden: 08 juli 2007 - Episode ID: 397806

Qualifying The first qualifying session was disrupted near the end by Anthony Davidson, who spun his Super Aguri while attempting to warm the tyres, bringing out the yellow flags. This also meant that he could not complete a good hot lap and left him near the back of the grid. This also forced Sato and Button to slow down on their hot laps, and the three drivers could not improve on their previous times in the closing stages of the session.[18] The six drivers eliminated in the first round were Albers, Sato, Sutil, Davidson, Button and Rosberg (for the first time this season, but due to an engine issue). The fastest time of the session was taking by Alonso. The second session was quite uneventful, with Alonso taking the fastest time again. Near the end of the session the six fastest drivers decided not to set any more times. This was a gamble for the two BMW drivers, as by the end of the session Heidfeld had been pushed down to tenth position. The six drivers who were eliminated from the final session were Liuzzi, Speed, Barrichello, Wurz, Coulthard and Webber. The two McLaren drivers were the first two drivers out on the track for the initial fuel burning phase, and initially, Alonso was the fastest on the track. After the first set of pit stops it looked like Alonso was going to take the pole. On the last set of laps, Alonso was on a faster time than he was before, but Räikkönen was on a faster. Both of them completed their laps and Räikkönen came out on top, despite an error coming out of the final corner.[18] Hamilton who had been sitting in fourth did not look like he was very competitive during qualifying. In the last few seconds of the session he set the fastest lap and put himself on pole position, and he was the only one to break into the 1 minute 19 second margin. Notes * Lap Leaders: Kimi Räikkönen 23 (16 – 17, 39 – 59), Fernando Alonso 21 (18 – 38), Lewis Hamilton 15 (1 – 15) * The start was aborted due to Felipe Massa stalling on the grid. The second formation lap went again without him. * Felipe Massa started the race from the pit lane. * Takuma Sato started the race from the pit garage. * This was the last race for Christijan Albers. Because of the sponsorship problem, he was replaced by Markus Winkelhock for the 2007 European Grand Prix.
