Vettel starts on the clean side - he's on the same side as Hamilton and Schumacher

Didn't Vettel do his first Q3 run on the medium tyres, then switch to the hard?

My iPad app was telling me that he was on hards all the way. Mind you - like I said before; the tech is young and in its first year though. It's not infallible.

NO! he was on medium but after set time he change tyres. check again replay.

Does it seem to anyone else that Lewis and Jenson have very different ideas about preparing for a race weekend?

Lewis seems to devote much of his practice to set up for quali,sacrificing race speed whereas Jenson is very race orientated and sacrifices quali speed.

That is just more of a general observation but I could be wrong, does anyone have any data that would seem to back this up?

Indeed, you have to consider that Räikönen will have a penalty and drops to P10.

Race starts at 4PM local:




Should be noted though - scattered would probably mean it's a very localized spot. It could rain, but not even come close to the circuit.

[FrukostScones]

I [-o< for mild rain and mixed conditions.
But in the end it will be dry.

[raymondu999]

I'm praying for rain after the Q3 option runners have all pitted

You are correct, I had a derp moment and forgot to promote Vettel to 5th

[raymondu999]

A "derp" moment? 9gag much?

After Narain got the boot last year from hrt , he came back and performed extremely
well to beat daniel ricciardo, i think some harsh treatment to this guy may ignite him.

I certainly thought this guy was potential world champion in his debut qualifying.

11th with jordan like schumi, like rubens.......

now i think he competes for the worst f1 drivers title with
badoer,sakon yamamoto and a few others

Hell NO!

It can rain whenever you like, Mclaren will still win the race

23. Pedro de la Rosa HRT-Cosworth 1m42.914s + 5.742
24. Narain Karthikeyan HRT-Cosworth 1m43.655s + 6.483

How is it possible that Narain Karthikeyan gets Tata money to buy a seat in F1? Are there no better candidates amongst the 1,200,000,000+ people in India from which to choose?

I think Chandook is a much better driver than Narain but, maybe, he brings less money.

Great work today from the team. Pedro said after qualifying that he had a problem on his second attemp and that's why he only managed one flying lap. He also said that the car was improving a lot
