We don't know how the Pirelli 2012 soft is compared to the 2010 Bridgestone supersoft in terms of relative softness.

Lewis is doing a mega stonking job.

He's not closing on Vettel though. It's more that Hamilton's tyres are going off already.

I know, but still he definately was going to get him.

Interesting fact, Grosjean is so far the ONLY person to overtake Lewis on track in 2012!

Something tells me they need to stop this "collaberative setup" business and go back to doing what they were before.

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Hamilton's still in a net 3rd and should be stronger on the primes if FP is anything to go by. So should be able to salvage a podium, but McLaren have definitely got the setup wrong this weekend.

Alonso in a net 4th ahead of Raikkonen!

The teams often make changes to the front wing when they change tyre compounds because the different compounds have differnet balance characteristics. Hardly a violin moment... :roll:

I had no idea which smiley to choose really. Seeing his race being ruined is the last thing I wanna see.
