IIRC, the commutator on Sky was saying that Vettel was suppose to pit on that same lap to switch to low fuel run, just like Webber did.

For Webber, he came out with his low fuel option on lap 16, did his quickest time on lap 18 and finish on lap 20.

For Hamilton, his quickest lap was done on the very last lap of the whole session, which is lap 18.

thanks for the link. Can actually see that both Mclaren and Redbull are running similar qualifying program for both their drivers.

All sandbags are now off. Here's hoping a Merc or two can make it inside the front two rows. [-o<
Ultimately, it may all come down to whoever among those top drivers will be the last to get a clean fast lap in just before the checkered flag falls. It'll probably be a crazy mad dash to beat the clock.

My prediction from the end of 2011 season was

1McLaren
2RBR
3MGP
4Ferrari

Think im pretty right except Ferrari is going to be replaced by Lotus on my list.

This is what they should say to Ferrari;

We have IndyCar for that :)
I had Gilles Villeneuve vs. Rene Arnoux more in mind!
