It is still a huge disappointment. Vettel needs to change his style and run the McLaren exhaust methinks.

His S1 time was comparable to Webber's. He just lost a little bit around the whole lap with the biggest issue was in S3. Presumably he's having to use more rear wing to get the downforce level he needs.

Vettel can only run at the front in a car that is perfect for him. We are seeing that this season

I think something happened in sector 1, too: he did go through it fast enough.

If Hamilton does two runs now then we'll see him run on the prime tyres as much as possible in the race. He can't afford to qualify on the primes with the field as close as it is.

A real surprise! Suppose Webber's making up for last year?

Will Vettel be able to use the DRS and climb like Webber did last year?

Sauber, Mercedes, and Lotus are on fire! Between the three, I'm putting Sauber up there to have the race pace to make it to podium.

Can't see Vettel staying with the older exhaust system for much longer. Webber has proven the new system is superior. Disappointing g for Vettel seems he made the wrong decision.
Generally I don't care about what people say. I have to be clear with myself. When everything goes well, people celebrate you, when you make mistakes people criticize you.
