so let your action do the talking...MS does know his trade.He had those times in his first career and he came back strong when everybody was prepared to write him off.
we can conclude:
confidence is everything
the car is inspiring or robbing your level of confidence ,no matter how good you are
no driver can be wdc without having machinery suiting his style of driving.

Update on Virgin:

Stewards have confirmed that Virgin also face a five-place grid penalty for both cars after it failed to declare the gear ratios to be used for the weekend before the deadline after practice yesterday.

uh, will hardly make any difference to their qualifying pace!

Schumacher on soft tyres while Rosberg was on the prime. If you take off five tenths from Rosberg Schumacher is still ahead.

Sutil causes a yellow flag.

did vettel do his last fast lap while S2 was under yellow?

Rosberg completed a flying lap with soft tyres and after the yellow was lifted. So unless they drove with different weight it looks like Schumi is faster with the long wheel base car. But the Merc is a second down on the Red Bulls which is pretty shocking.

The yellow was generally lifted by message from race control but due to some sector confusion it was not indicated right on the screen. I would be very surprised if Vettel is critizised for reacting to the message.

I think the live timing said yellow but there was green flag on track. The other top 3 all slowed down which 5live team didnt spot while raving about Vettel being so far ahead. No way is Webber 0.7 behind

Ferrari have something to worry as well.

Indeed, i believe Webber was still quickest in the first and third sector and therefore could have been quicker...we shall see in qual i guess.
