Perez started on the hard tyres - stopped end of lap one to ditch them. Rest of the race on softs.

Di Resta in the pit lane too.

wonko · 30 Oct 2011 at 09:38

morning all - entertaining start so far.
Vettel is managing to pull away - think the race will be for second

They need to come up with some way of removing the dust at the starts tbh, Alonso driving on ice and wasted the best start of anyone because its impossible to go off the line.

Tbh I'm surprised there isn't some sort of vacuum machine which they can run down the track to clean it? Or do the teams not want that as it might screw up the rubber they've laid down on the racing line?

should have gone the other side webber.

Alonso was on the clean side of the grid. He was in one of the better places to start.

Flibster · 30 Oct 2011 at 09:54

Shimmy · 30 Oct 2011 at 09:56

Wonder what Hamilton is up to, Button is doing fastest laps.

Meaning he moved on to the dirty side to overtake and ended up driving on ice. so to speak.

Flibster · 30 Oct 2011 at 09:58

Webber and Alonso pit on lap 17
As does Hamilton.

utajoker · 30 Oct 2011 at 10:01

Flibster · 30 Oct 2011 at 10:02

So the tyres that can do 35 laps are being changed at 17ish.
