Red bull was also fastest last year, but was slowest at the end of the straight.

Are the tyre pressures monitored by the FIA in the practice sessions?

hmmm, looking at the Bull's pace it seems "game over". I could hardly imagine anyone could catch SV....

So vettel ran extra low DF setup and webber ran low-mid downforce setup and both came withing 3/100 of each other with vettel miles faster in 1st and 3rd sector and webber in the 2nd. Which is the best way to go then?

I'd say the low as you would want to be fast down the straights. But i wonder if a higher df level will help tyre wear?

Could the puncture be related to an extreme camber setup ?
We all know that Red Bull love to play with these kinds of setups , on the limit..
Back to SVs pace , well he had already showed such pace in Germany and Hungary , i dont think there is sthg special about it
Hamilton seems just too slow..But we all know what happens in Q3
