wet weather for qualifying last year. |
I thought Fisi had a dry lap and the rain came after he did his lap. Either that or it was the Sunday time which (from hazy memory) was dry. |

"Rain prior to first qualifying left the track fairly wet but the rain had stopped by start of the session. Minardi's Christijan Albers was first out on wet tyres and had a difficult lap, but held it together to set the initial time of 1:49.230. Teammate Patrick Friesacher also struggled and was 1.6 slower than Albers."
"Renault's Giancarlo Fisichella took provisional pole position in the first qualifying session for the Australian Grand Prix when he managed to be on track and put in a good lap at the perfect moment. The Italian clocked 1:33.171 on dry tyres, just seconds before the rain washed out the hopes of the last eight runners."
for better comparison, here's the top 3 from friday practice 2005, session 2
1 Pedro de la Rosa McLaren-Mercedes 1:25.376
2 Kimi Räikkönen McLaren-Mercedes 1:25.676
3 Nick Heidfeld Williams-BMW 1:25.940 |
