Mclaren are a lot faster in the first sector, with the long straights, then RBR go crazy in 2 and 3, ultimately RBR will be capable of the fastest lap time, however, if the Mclaren's are 3rd and 4th on the grid at the start, expect them to overtake on the long straights. If they do manage to get past, there are no overtaking opportunities in sectors 2 and 3, so the Red Bulls won't be able to get back past.

I think this track will suit Hamilton best, hopefully we'll see some of his good moves this weekend. He certainly shone for me in practice!
 
I'm just hoping that the tyres dont last forever. rom FP1 & 2 it at least looked like they were graining up and several drivers were complaining about the fronts losing grip.

Hamilton looked strong in FP1 with only a few laps under his belt and beating everyone else. Looking forward to watching FP3 tomorrow morning on iplayer and then Quali straight after off the sky box.

It sounds like this race will be a real test of a drivers skill due to the surface.

If it's dry, the surface isn't an issue really, The track has rubbered in very quickly and it seems absolutely fine now, obviously off-line will still be dirty, but that's the same everywhere.

If it rains, though, you're right, it will all be down to driver skill on a track with near 0 grip.
 
sure i heard they are going to wash the track tonite to remove the dirt dragged on the track from the drivers cutting a few corners.

I'm not sure wash is the right word, no doubt they will sweep the track of all the rubbish, but I'm sure the rubber won't be taken off.
 
So, it looks like the lap times on this track are much closer to each other than at the last race (which was a RBR benefit).

I'm hoping that this is a good race and that Hamilton finally finishes a race without any problems.
 
This is streamed on the BBC website isn't it? I'm in hospital and don't have access to a TV, only my laptop and a WiFi connection!
