Very anti-climactic for sure, Vettel has a fresh set for the race, depending on the weather tomorrow we could have an interesting race on our hands. What I've seen is that the Mercedes is having balance issues through this track, it's still massively quick, and are still faster than everyone else. If Vettel doesn't make any mistakes he can definitely challenge, both Hamilton and Rosberg will make mistakes on this track given their balance issues, Vettel just has to make less mistakes and he can win.

Think its ok. If he broke the wing or have to make any changes they will break parc ferme and get a penalty. If the cars fine he's fine.

Does anyone know the S1 and S2 of Rosberg's final lap?

At the press conference Rosberg said he was exactly two tenths up going into the last corner.

Good question and also what did Hamilton do different in S2 on his pole lap to gain so much time there, when he always lost time there before?

Rosberg did a 30.2 in S2 and wasted it in last corner :)

Hamilton's spin is confusing. Doesn't look like driver error, similar to what we saw with Kimi in Canada and last year here. Herbert thinks it is related to ERS as it was the rear wheels locking. What could cause this?

He said he was two tenths up from his own time so he was equal to Hamilton and had to push.

I think he ran over the white line at the edge of track. Might have been wet and under braking...

I'm thinking something more mundane like touching the white line.

Ferrari won't challenge Mercedes tomorrow. Once again Mercedes unleashed extra power in qualifying and it's a difficult track to overtake at.

And now it's GP2 time. Finally.
