I don't disagree with you entirely, although I don't recall anyone complaining of tire wear through either practice session. What's more some teams will have to run OOP for the simple fact that they can't get the primes working well. There seems to be about a second difference between the compounds, and I'm not entirely sure the prime will last much longer than the option, especially if it becomes difficult to keep the prime in the proper operating window. I'm sure this could be mitigated through setup but it could end up compromising the tire life of the option tire.

Yes I see OOp as viable. But I think mileage rather than pace would be the ultimate concern. I think the limiting factor will be the scare tactics Red Bull used in Korea, rather than the rubber degrading.

Vettel pole and win. Alonso will top 10 for the grid and top 5 for the result.

This is Vettel's WDC to lose...
