We're now sure that Timo had a throttle sensor problem. His car is on the way back and we'll get cracking to give him the best shot at qualy

Right, the point I was making was that in 2012 "pecking order" has to have track and temperature taken into account. The McLaren is the only car that can reaonably consistently be quick everywhere, most others have particular track types they play well to. The pecking order here is exactly what you'd expect (with possibly lotus doing surprisingly poorly) in 2012 on a slow twisty turny track.

Lotus seem to be pretty weak. I expect them to finish quali in the low-end of q3 and it will probably be another strong qualifying from the maccas.

I think that one of the 2 Mercedes will not be able to join in Q3. And for Sunday I expect both car to be out of points

His race engineer also.

Charles Pic also appears to have had 20s added to his race time.

Community service order for Pic for overtaking under red? Lol

I think I'd agree – Hamilton is just making a few too many mistakes to stitch together that perfect lap. I think we'll see Vettel on pole, and alternator failure mid race.
