    Eclap, It's just a wild guess. Dont take it too fullheartly, overall. McLaren is indeed fast, but Mercedes is fast aswell. It depends somewhat on the driver quality in the last stretch.

    Overall, I feel like Button is really strong this year. Time will tell tho.

    I'm not taking it to the heart. but don't forget what Mercedes did last week. fast in practice but when the chips were down (qually) they were nowhere to be seen. I'm expecting more of the same this week. McLaren clearly have an edge in getting the tires work in the first hot lap when they give the most grip. after that one lap red bull is not that far off, really. still, this means clear McLaren dominance in qually. I'm expecting Vettel to be 3rd and my wild guess is Kimi 4th.

    Let's not forget that Kimi is getting a 5 place penalty. So he'll be starting from 10th. Still, good quali, surprised with Mercedes pace, didn't expect them in top 3 but they do eat up their tires fast so I'm not expecting much from them in the race. Now for gp2 :)

    Different strategy for Vettel, he used Hard tyres in final quali.

    Vettel also said that he couldn't get the mediums to work well and he was faster on hards. So fair pay to Webber.

    oh.. i see, that explains it. i was not able to watch the quali earlier today.. i'll just watch the replay tom before the race.

    anyway, so he's gonna be pitting late for at least the 1st round of pit stops tom. Interesting.

    Again, that only explains that he was struggling. He was slower than Webber on mediums and preferred hards.

    This is the season that many wanted. All teams are really pushing for podiums. Except Ferrari. Very close Qualifying as you can see from the times not really much in it. Problem is Race day when it matters that will see some teams wear out their tires too early. I'm waiting what SHUEY can do at the start. He is a fast starter and got the car now as well.

    Grossjean derp derp.

    It's apperently easy to start well, but hard to keep on the track for more then 5 laps.

    LOL. :wanker:

    Like i said, he's only ever been "good" in wet when his car was miles ahead of competition. He never had to push to look good. Today, even senna done him and drove away.

    For wet driving masterclass look no further than Alonso.

    Well, 5th place isnt bad.

    Too bad that Perez did not win this one. It's a sad moment for me if Alonso or Hamilton wins :(

    Better news: http://eplsite.biz/stream1.html :) Free stream from the race, no HD but hell, dont care, good to be able to see the race, did miss the start and first half of the race tho.
