Is there a marked difference between the dirty and clean side of the track as there was last year?

I love the way Vettel pumped his first and blowed his cheeks after that qualifying session as if it was a tough qualifying fought between multiple drivers and cars. Reality is, the only competition he had was from a soon to be retired 37 year Mark Webber.
That's a very good point the even numbered starters have it better don't they? that was the whole reason behind Massa's gearbox last year and why Hamilton fell of the line and had to fight his way back past Webber.

They have had lots of racing here in the past 12 months so it shouldn't be so bad.

I am not disappointed with P5 for Lewis, hopefully he will have a good race now.

Nico says they have gone for a tire-friendly setup and couldn't get heat into the tires. This might pay off tomorrow, but I still think Lewis is going to go backwards. Just a feeling.

Hopefully they build a car with some good race pace next year.

Hamilton's practice 3 lap would've put him in P3 on the grid. But I guess the track conditions were different. Rosberg could not match his practice 3 time either.

I have seen some onboards of Lewis in FP3 and at that point I thought P10 would be difficult to achieve.

It's even worse than that... Nico just stated that if the temperatures are going to rise up to 30°, they're going to struggle to get a 1stopper working.
