Mclaren are massive in sector 2. Just like Red Bull last year.

McLaren's not looking so hot today. They struggled a bit this morning and don't seem like they're 100% dialled in during Q1 either.

Track is still a lot cooler than yesterday. Wonder if that explains some of the cars not looking as strong as expected.

Both cars will be in the race, Karthikeyan by just 3 tenths only... It worries me that Pedro again did not have time for a second run, they must improve the qualifying strategy.

How did Webber go 1 second faster than Vettel on the same tyres ?

Different front wing setting on webber vs vettel

track had nicely rubbered in i guess and changed his setting when he was in pits

[NathanOlder]

So they'll copy that on to Vettel's car ? Give the pole to Vettel then

Fuel, engine mode. The top guys seem to run 6 - 10 laps of fuel in Q1 in case they have an issue then they have plenty in hand to have additional runs. After his first run Webber pitted, put in a splash of fuel, put new tyres on, maybe made a small adjustment to the car, and then did a low fuel run.

We'll see pole well in the 36's. After FP1 I thought they'd be targeting 35's but the cars don't look quite as settled as they did on Friday so I don't think they'll get there.
