I guess so.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Schumachers car was not ready, technical problem, DRS was not working

Mclaren apparently set up for running the softs more in the race? Is that the right call?

Depends on how everyone else is doing with their tyres. They have had a preference for the softer tyres so far this year but haven't really shown much of an advantage by doing so.

Alonso has saved already a prime option of tyres. He is thinking on the race not the quali.

Quali's looking to be a cracker.
4 hundreths! ;)
I made a typing mistake! Yeesh! :lol:

I'm not too sure. I thought they were saving a set of primes in that they felt it would be pointless goin out in Q1 on the primes anyways - because they might not have made the cut into Q2.

The option is also a LOT quicker than the prime.

Grosjean not looking that quick now, either his setup is biased toward the primes or he did his first run on options without us noticing. Only P11.

Q2 looks like it's a much more "normal" spread between 1st and 10th - not as close as in China.
