Not to mention understeer will just be scrubbing speed off straight through 3, 4, 9 and 16 around here.

Exactly. +1

Hamilton will overdrive the car and struggle late. I think his frustration is going to start to surface this race. That said, he still is a great quali driver, and it should be a great shoot out in Q3 between all the top teams.

He´s obviously a great racer by matching Alonso as a rookie in the same car.
And narrowly missing out on the title his first year.
And really has been the only force outside of BrawnGP and RBR in 2009 that actually won races.
You don´t do that stuff by simply being a great quali driver.

The fact that he hasn´t won a race yet was because of two things.

1. Messed up the start in the first race.
2. Getting raped by his own team at pretty much every track after Oz.

Was just a bit of carbon fibre rubbing on the brakes, so it's been filed down. Problem solved.

Grosjean out with what looks like loss of power. On the radio saying loss of fuel pressure stalling the engine.

Hamilton was about to go quickest but gets baulked in the final sector. Was looking really good though. Button had a little bit of a hold up as well but also made a small mistake with the rear stepping out.

Allowing for Hamilton being further down than he should be, the grid still looks pretty interesting at the moment.

Yea that was too bad, and then when he went out to do a lap again the time ran out.

Interesting that Vettel set the fastest time yet he wasn´t fastest in any sector.

Can´t wait to get things in black and white in terms of speed here,

All soft tires pretty much..

Anyone watching the bbc commentary listening to them talking about Sauber supposedly 'sandbagging', it's not true because there was en error with live timing and his quick lap was set on the softs.
