Redbull has disgusting traction. I think they will be strong all over.
That car picks up very early on turn exit.
It will be strongest in sectors 2 and 3, and maybe equal with ferrari in sector1.
If this is true it is not good news for McLaren who really need to work on balance and fine tuning upgrades. Dark Horse Kubinski, But my gut tells me it will be a straight fight between The RB's and the Scuds. Hamilton goes well at this track and may put together a great q3 run and stick it in the front two rows. However it may be at the risk of throwing away row three for row five. Quali should be very interesting! And if it’s wet for quali everyone will already be on high down force, but I think the usual suspects will be spinning Massa, Webber, and Mike.gilgen wrote:Forecast.

I was referring to quali, by all indications the race should be dry. In fact it's looking like sat may be dry as wellraymondu999 wrote:@Tazio - interesting. Massa is quite known for not being too good in the wet... but why Webbo and Mike?
Mark, and Mike generally go well in wet races, but they are chasing teamates ahead of them and imo prone to push too hard! Mark's mistake in Germany really hurt him, and Mike has had a lot of moments this season although he does apear to be comming to grips!JMHOAnd if it’s wet for quali everyone will already be on high down force, but I think the usual suspects will be spinning Massa, Webber, and

Add to that they have mastered the blown diffuser as its design was integral to the car from when the car was first designed and can carry a bit more speed into the corners, I reckon they will have the upper hand.ringo wrote:Redbull has disgusting traction. I think they will be strong all over.
