I meant quali not race sorry. Don't forget they introduced new regs after Canada 2010 for his on-track stoppage too.

Someone on starsport said an aero test due to changeable conditions at the end of Q2. Mark said that at the end of Q2 the track conditions were improving too fast so I guess redbull were just checking the track conditions i.e wind temp etc before doing their final run.
i dont believe a word that Steve slater from starsports said
he is complete idiot, lisened to him for the past 10yrs !

anyways it was actually Vettel putting a faster out and in lap so that he would come in front of Koba and others who dont run in Q3
thats the only logical explanation

I am really looking forward to what the troglodyte will do at the start and the first laps :)

I'm finding it hard to believe that both Webber and Button didn't make it into Q3 due to natural process.

Maybe if one of them didn't get through then, okay.

However, the Maldonado out of nowhere starting in P2, the "worst" car from the top teams starting from P3.

Kobayashi gets into the top ten, then has to retire the car for Q3.

I'm afraid that I'm going to have to call bull**** here.

It's once again, all about the tyres.

Nothing to do with trying to be the fastest driver. Everything to do with the tyres.

you mean the tyres were the reason that Kimi challenged for the win in Bahrain?

Before we give in to all the hate why don't we actually see if any of the supposed tactical poor laps and lack of pace helps in tomorrows race.

Personally I think it is more likely that the cars were set up for different conditions to those in qualifying, and some cars and drivers were coping with that better than others.

I was asking? I just wanted to say that 11 and 12 are very good grid positions.
Maldonado out of nowhere? Check the timing (lap charts) of all the sessions again. FP1, FP2, FP3.
