Just see Vettel running through the gravel up at turn 9 on the top of the hill at the start of the back straight! What ever stint he was running, he was pushing Very hard

[GrizzleBoy]

David Croft just confirmed on SKY F1 tv channel that Rosberg's time was a one lapper vs Hamiltons fast lap + 7 lap stint (or however much it was).

Interestingly, they're saying Merc did a nice consistent run today, wish we could see the timing.

Apparently it was a 16 lap run on the mediums followed by another 15 lap run, but that's all they've said so far.

Yeah, think it was Herbert who said a 16 lap run, very consistent and very fast

It must of been pretty good to make Herbert say the car is looking good, since he kept downplaying the car's high fuel runs and tyre deg.

[NathanOlder]

Interesting, Damon think the last 30mins today will be like the last 5mins of qualifying. I HOPE SO

Also David Croft says that a few people have worked on fuel levels and lap times. and come up with

Red Bull doing a 1.19.3
Mclaren/Ferrari/Lotus/Mercedes all 1.19.5

Sky F1's prediction is that RBR are about 0.2 ahead of McLaren, Lotus, Ferrari and Merc as it stands just now.

[Anon123]

I bet Red Bull struggle into Q2 in Melbourne then lockout the front row.

I do not believe Red Bull are quite that capable. I realize I have nothing to support this, just MO. They will have better race pace than qualy pace is my suspicion

If you are watching the live coverage on Sky, pay attention that Nico isn't using DRS anywhere. Its a trend I have been seeing, when cars are on longer run, they don't use DRS.

Yeah I had noticed a few mins ago. Mark Hughes saying Red Bull Lotus and Mercedes equal at top. Ferrari next, Mclaren 5th.
