No major surprises in the top 10 -- but I think it's time for Schu to enjoy his millions in retirement. (I am a big M Schu fan.)

McLaren both and Rosberg on soft option tyres initially.

Hamilton 1:15.500 P1

My bad -- Sutil and Liuzzi did surprisingly well.

[WhiteBlue]

Vettel also on primes! OMG Ok, finally got some heat into the tyres.
Webber also on primes and faster.

Webber kissed the wall but made it round.

Hamilton on pole and pushes his car back home.

He can not arrive to pit... they need sample of fuel for FIA and there is not enough to return.

What odds on Hamilton getting a penalty...

Strange decision from Macca, they went on harder compound for Q1 while the rest went on softs. But Q2 and Q3 the rest switched to hard and they went for softs.

Hmm, I think their reasoning goes like this: Tomorrow everybody else will make a very long stint on the hards, and they take the softs for at least 1/3 of the race, while the rest will have to race longer with the softer compound.

I think this is a big gamble from their part, but it could work well, especially for Jenson.

Webber kissed the wall but made it round.

His rear wheel touched the wall, that was scary, the car seemed to reverberate.
Hamilton got pole pretty easy, 0.2 seconds seems a lot, but it was down to tires. Race will not have too much fighting is my guess. Different strategies for McLaren and Red Bull.
Ow out of fuel.

Seeing Lewis sit on his car like a cabrio and just trundle down the road somehow reminded me of Mansell carrying Senna home on the car. Or it could've been the other way around.

Is there a specific rule against running the last lap of qualifying without enough fuel to get back the next lap?

I seem to remember cars stopping out on track on the lap back in the past and it being unpunished.

However, if this is legal, why don't all the teams just put enough fuel in for the last lap and stop out on track. Surely it'll save a couple of kilos and make the qualifying lap quicker.
