A quick question; might be out of ignorance.

What is keeping Ferrari in the garage for 30 minutes? Why not get out early, do some number of runs like the redbull and get the max out of it?

Edit: And here again. Massa does just a lap. Alonso I saw just one lap. What's cooking inside??
Finishing second is being the first one of losers....

May be they know that they have already optimized their set-up and doing two runs (one each on the prime and option tyres) would be enough.

Anyways it still looks like a Vettel win and a RB 1-2.

Soft tyres seems to work better on the 4th timed lap. Interresting qualifying session in prospect. Q3 will be tough to reach, as traffic will play a huge part in the last two minutes of Q2.

Be prepared to be very disappointed. Only man who has a car to match Vettel isn't going to do it, so...

And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Great qualifying! The McLarens in super form at the right time.

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Alonso was slower in both S1 and S2 in the final Q3 lap. Was it a mistake or worn tires? Never got to see the entire lap on TV. McLarens on the other hand look too twitchy in S2. Hamilton made mistakes there in all the sessions. Can it hurt them in the race?

I wonder if Ferrari are going to try and shake and bake during the race to make up ground on Vettel. The RB8 seems to be dominant in the second sector on light fuel. Let's see what happens tomorrow, supposedly the race pace is equal unless RB was sandbagging.
