Korean Grand Prix 2011, Yeongam Circuit - Race 16/19

They've been chewing through tyres all year, they've just not had to push as hard as in the past 5-6 races where their tyre wear has appeared to get worse, simply because the Mclaren is so improved in the past 5-6 races and Ferrari aswell.

I do wonder if they are doing slow but fast enough q1, same tyres, fast enough in q2, then do a faster lap in q3, on hards, do a longer first stint on hard tyres.

I really don't know, if they do one supersoft stint in the race and the rest all on harder tyres.

Hamilton on an awesome lap but this is the thing, Hamilton/Button didn't need to go that fast in q1, nor this fast in q2.

Too often recently Hamilton has done a good enough lap in Q2, panicked and done a softer tyre lap in Q2 when he hasn't needed to.

Maybe RBR have, miles after they and everyone else should have, realised that fast enough is better than super fast in q1/q2.
 
hehe, thats the thing, I think Hamilton is the fastest car/driver combo out there, but will he get screwed.

Hmm, was that Hamilton second out with probably a decent amount of room, Button stuck behind Alonso was it?
 
This could be very bad for Red Bull(not that it matters) simply because they've sucked starting most of the season and the Ferrari's have been pretty awesome closely followed by Mclaren. Could we see Mclaren's, followed by Ferrari, followed by the RBR's into out of the first corner.

Can't see Vettel getting Hamilton at all, if button gets Vettel and he gets shoved wide, Webber has been woeful starting lately so I can very easily see the Ferrari's getting passed him and having a go at Vettel.
