F1 tweetblog, Brazilian qualifying

Q1
We have standing water on the track, drivers nearly taking each other out, rivers forming, Hamilton's radio says rain on the way, Red Bulls leading time sheets until Alonso knocks them off, looks like Sutil's dropping out at half way point, Alonso radio just doesn't know what happening with rain, new intermediates, don't think any new team driver will make it to Q2, Red Bulls back on top, Kubica up to third, Bruno spins it at the Senna esses, still no rain, Sutil's last chance, doesn't make it, Alonso leads ahead of Webber, Vettel, Kubica, all new teams out.

Q2
Cars heading out on track, no rain, drivers trying to find space for a good run, Kubica leads, whoops, now it's Barrichello, usual suspects looking to drop out of Q2, Webber makes a 1:18.841, fastest lap so far, track must be drying, Hamilton radio asks for dry tyres, Lewis says maybe not, he gets fresh intermediates, Button tenth, too close for comfort, oops again, now he's eleventh, Massa only eighth, Button makes seventh with one hot lap left, Button squeezed out of Q2 along with Kobayashi, Rosberg, Alguessari, Buemi, Heudfeld and Luizzi.

Q3
Ten minutes count down, no rain falls, who will be the first to switch to dry tyres, Alonso on 1:17.794, Hamilton leads now ahead of Schumacher and Vettel, lots of cars coming in for slick tyres, Bartichello down in tenth, Kubica falls off at the bottom of the hill, followed by Webber, Hulkenberg on provisional pole, taken back by Hamilton, Vettel third, lap times falling, Alonso first, mugged by Hulkenburg, exciting stuff, Nico rocks Brazil ahead of Vettel, Webber, Hamilton, Alonso, Barrichello, Kubica, Shumacher, Massa and Petrov, wow, just imagine that a rookie will be on pole for the race tomorrow.
