Note - Webber, Gutierrez qualified P5 and P18, dropped 3 and 5 grid places respectively for collisions at previous round. Hamilton qualified P4, dropped 5 places for unscheduled gearbox change




Massa will start on the harder tyres tomorrow, Button has a free choice, the rest of the top ten will start on the soft compound. Would love to see Raikkonen up front but with most cars on the same strategy it will be difficult for him. I just hope Rosberg's car will make it to the end of the race!
 
Finally, an F-1 event I can see live on "my" time, starts at 8:00 AM EDT USA. Is the Iceman holding back?

And 21:30 AEST for us Caz.
The MotoGP coverage begins at 02:30 AEST and runs through to 06:00.
Good thing there's time for a few hours sleep between events.
:applause:
 
Flash back to last year!
Anyhoo......I wonder if Renault lays down the power in a way that is more conducive to the Pirellis....:ques:

Good runs by Kimi & Hamilton....
Sergio Perez.....:isadizzy:
More tough luck for Webber....

Alonso's situation demonstrates why I don't like DRS....:pop4:
 
Sergio was told to show more agression in the race by Whitmarsh last week but this may have been a bit too much..

Good job by Lotus, getting both drivers on the podium. Mercedes need to work on their race pace, looks like their car is eating tires like it did last season.
