A bad quali means I can go forwards in the race.
I was doing a Quali in GP mode and passed Rubens Barrichello under brakes at Novelle Chicane.
I pretty much cut in front of him under full brakes actually.
Thought nothing more of it until on the next lap I saw he had become wedged on the runoff area to the right of where Perez crashed and he just had more than a cars length of room. He was selecting 1st and reverse and trying to get out. He was there for the rest of quali. On my slowdown lap I stopped and watched for a while.
Earlier in practice I had a coming together with Alonso between Mirabeau and Loews leaving him sideways to sort himself out. Next time there were about 15 cars stuck there trying to shimmy out. Track totally blocked.
Great stuff
