Fernando Alonso has made the best of a difficult race that started in extremely difficult conditions. Alonso ran faultless, and profited from both Red Bull's not finishing to take the championship lead. Lewis Hamilton came in second, with Massa securing a great result for Ferrari in 3rd place.
3 tenths down is not bad for such a long distance, but they'll be sitting ducks if either of them makes a mistake coming over the curb in the last turn.
They still need four or five laps to get up to speed. Vettel fast but still incredibly slow in the first sector. Button complaints that he cannot get tyre temp with the hard tyres at all.

button needs to pick up the pace if he wants to help lewis and himself put some space between webber and the top.
He said he was struggling with tyre temperatures and grip.
The track is very competitive, evolving with each lap. The most exciting q1 outside of the wet weather ones.
Button is showing on of his weaknesses again. Piss poor tyre temperature management. Hamilton seems to understand the finer, more delicate details of heating up the tyres.
Massa already on soft tyres takes P1 with 36.672
beaten by Vettel, Webber and Alonso on hards
This the situation before they change on soft tyres in Q2
This is the end with soft tyres of Q2
