Yeah. Most were talking 2 or 3 seconds slower. 1:25s or 1:26s for pole at least. :s

Don't forget that was his 1st timed lap in the car.

...on Pirelli tyres too. Very impressive stuff from red bull.

Helmut Marko: “If a race were held now, we would lap everybody,” doesnt seeem that far fetched after all.

May I add, in 2010 in turn 7 they went from 7th gear to 6th, now most teams are going to 4th, I think only macca is going down to 5th

Here it appears as turn 11;

Massa in 12th place and behind Alonso in each FP; this weekend isn't boding well for him at all. In comparison, the other teammates in the top teams are typically closer together.

Red Bull and Vettel pull way ahead in the odds

I think Seb should win the race if the car holds.

Massa is a mess.
Fred had a little time in hand (like .5 maybe) but not enough to challenge RB.
I think it will be enough to get him on the second row!
I hope Massa can get his Shyt sorted out!

Yea' let them run.
As long as they know how to get out of the way.
They paid to play even if they really suck!

Everytime they showed Vettel his wing was wide open, seemingly much more than Webber (or anybody else obviously).

I think he was keeping his finger on the button and using the brakes to close it when needed.

Mark was on a quick run but I think he ran into traffic in s3. He is much closer to Vettel.
