I dont see too much movement in this post in comparison to previous races. As far as I can see RB and Ferrari are very strong here. What about Lotus and Mclaren? Button and Perez seem to be very far...

Pirelli really didn't lie when they said they wanted to improve the show. That tyre exploded out of nowhere.

What is next: shootable harpoons out of the sidepods?

Instead to improve the soft tire sets they go and build a crappier hard one. XD

The FIA are in charge of the rules, Bernie is not. Don't mix them up. Bernie is just the event manager, the FIA are the rule makers.

If we assume similar fuel levels Ferrari and Lotus look very strong in race sim. Followed by RedBull and Force India. Mercedes looking very bad on the tires.

Personally I think it will be much closer on Sunday, as Lotus and especially Ferrari tend to do race sims with less fuel and also the track will change massively because of GP2 races. Looks like Kimi is again able to do one less stop then the other top drivers on Sunday.

For pole, I think RedBull or Ferrari.

If Kimi is between 4th and 6th he could win the race, Lotus look very strong even with this lower temperatures, anyway I am sure on Sunday it will be warmer.

I think the pole will be for Vettel, Alonso will not be very far but Sebastian is faster on Saturdays.
