Q3 is essentially always faster than Q2, most races people put in a banker on used tyres and see what happens, then come out and go usually 3-5/10th's faster than Q2. The track might be getting slower though, and Vettel's Q2 time wasn't a good indicator as he was on used tyres then. I think Vettel's had this probably in the bag all weekend and has been cruising, but you can never count Hamilton out.
Told ya

Still found it funny that after a couple good races(when there are always good and bad races for every driver) people were talking about Rosberg being better than Hamilton. He's destroying him in qualifying this year so far.

WOW Lewis
'Was that pole'
30 poles, shame the Redbull will fly by him tomorrow along with the Lotus's
I don't recall anyone saying that, I do though remember people saying Rosberg was better than they thought.
I think you're right but there again fat john could have one of his off days at the start
McLaren going backwards even more now.

Rosberg's actually quite a lot further back from Hamilton than I thought. I was one of the few saying Rosberg and in particularly Schumi were excellent drivers with a complete dog of a car. Rosberg was the qualifier and Schumi the race pace driver of the two.
Can't see an awful lot from Merc tomorrow but you never know, Grosjean to smack off Vettel, Rosberg to be rear gunner to Hamilton, and Hamilton's tyre to not randomly implode.... chances of that, not so much.
Still not happy with Brawn and what he said, which was essentially we don't know how many pit stops we'll do, we'll see what happens in the race. No, pick a number of stops, race to that pace... have a good race. Race to a stupid pace, end up having to do a 3 stop anyway but with the first stop way to early and comprimise one or both other stints. Pick a damn strategy, stick to it, don't over react to every other pitstop, the guys who ignore those pitting around them and run their own race at a pace they decided before the race are doing SO much better than those who keep pitting in reaction to whats going on around them. Lotus have cost Kimi a couple times massively by not doing the sensible thing but waiting to react to the race.
