This is caused by the rule to start on qualifying tyre. If they didn't have that they would all be out there on softs gunning it.

The whole tyre regulations need a serious revamp.

Oooh a mixed bag of tyre selection.

Its depressing that a large chunk of drivers in Q3 aren't trying to set the fastest time possible.

Nice lap from Raikkonen there.

But a better one from Hamilton.

Just WOW Lewis...get in there my son

Vettel didn't set a lap time after he completely missed a corner. Completely and utterly.

Didn't slightly miss the braking point, just didn't brake at all.

Troll lap by Button

Vettel - face looks like a 4 year old who has been denied sweets.

Yea, it has give us an interesting grid but imagine the tyres will dictate a lot of the racing.

Skeeter · 13 Apr 2013 at 08:06

Really pleased with the outcome of that, but really not so keen on how we got there. The tyre rules are broken.

A Brit and Kimi on the front row, Vettel right back in the pack, bloomin fantastic!!

No doubt Vettel will put in an amazing drive and come up front again, but hey. Look at Ricciardo in 7th.

Lewis has got to go like a bat out of hell at the start of the race.Still hoping for a top 5.

Cracking comment from button there. Genuinely lol'd

Will be happy if it finishes in that order tomorrow but I have a feeling tyre strategy will mix things up quite a bit…

Oh shut up Horner, you have to have fuel in the car to have fuel pressure! :rolleyes:

Seb is on pole position with that strategy in my book.
