The gap between Hamilton and Vettel is the same as Vettel and Perez in 14th! Incredibly tight field with Hamilton having a fair cushion. Vettel is the only other driver with any kind of margin over any of the others. We could see hundredths of a second splitting drivers here, with a small mistake being the difference between at the front and 10th.

Hamilton the only driver with the luxury of two runs on new tyres.

He put a good time in on a banzai lap. Only has one set of tyres left though.

Probably not. The official word was that they had to compromise their qualifying setup in order to extend their tyre life in the race. Just sounds like they were struggling with tyre wear and they've decided that the race is more important than qualifying.

It will be interesting to see if Hamilton uses the same strategy as he did in Q2 - put a slow lap on the tyres before going for a flat out run. Not sure if that was due to a mistake or was planned.

Lewis now struggling to put a lap together, and his tires have had 2 rather large slides put through them.

So does anyone have any ideas what was up with Q1 and Vettel?

He goes from barely making the cut to looking quite strong here in Q3.
