Vettel gambled on the old exhaust system. Webber was the guy Newey was focussing his attention on in the free practises. Wrong decision!

Rosberg 1:35.1 !!

I think they bolted on more downforce...Finally!

312kmh top speed compared to the 320kmh plus we saw through practice

He did 1 less run in Q2 than his team mate and rivals. he just did an out lap on the second set in Q2

As for MMerc pace. I think Mercedes front row will help Lewis. As so far Merc race pace has been poor but fast on straights (hard to overtake) So will keep Button, Webber, Lotus in reach for Lewis

Two presumptions in that statement. One is that Newey did give Webber more attention just because of a couple of conversations on the TV. The other is that Vettel is going to be the more important driver over the course of the season whereas Webber currently looks the stronger driver.

Track conditions looked tricky as only 5 of the 10 drivers in Q3 improved their Q2 times.
