I missed most of Qualifying as I was returning from Sydney and then had TV probs... but I've been watching Whincup race since he was knee high in karts, and he is a very good driver - definately up there and capable enough. I've got to say though, I barely recall seeing a car that planted to the track during qualifying and such a smooth drive from such a yound (but not inexperienced) driver. I honestly believe that his entry onto pit straight just before the stopwatch started is what cost him pole. If thats how it drives, and they are reliable then they are going to be hot ones to watch - that car wont be using
tyres at all and I've got no doubt its speed is sustainable.
BTW Go the Holdens!
