There may be less gain on mediums compared to hards for quali pace.

Not sure I agree with the commentators on Vettel here.
Sure, he's missed out on his chance to do a soft tyre run in practice... but those tyres haven't gone anywhere. He could still have a blast in one of the quali sessions if he really wanted to.

Yeah, RB was all about qualy last year. Hulkenberg said in FP2 Vettel didn't use DRS at all while he was behind him. I think they're sandbagging.
e* go JB!

So are both Marussia and HRT outside the 107% in this practice? Q1 is always slower than Q3 but I wonder if they have any speed to find to even meet 107% in Q1.
Yeah, I'm not good enough to be in the World Nap Championship, I think if I lay down I'll maybe miss Quali altogether.

107% is 1:31.679 at the moment

From the top three teams back it's chaos. I can't see any real pecking order forming yet.
4 teams baby!

So Marussia are provisionally ok and HRT is not. Thanks!
Powernap, or keep chatting on forums? hmmm, tough decisions...
Truth be told, I suspect it will once again be a RBR pole, but looks like Vettel will have more competition this year than Webber. lulz. It was quite a good time on hards that he did...
The proper 107% time will be taken from the Q1 result. Though that will probably be slower than the FP3 times. So Marrussia should be fine.
Going by how tail happy it is, it's an excitable puppy that doesn't do what it's owners tell it to do.
By a way of comparison, that makes the McLaren a well trained working dog, smooth, consistent and quick.
Anyway, aside from the variable that is RBR, this shown who is quick and who isn't really. McLaren are strong, Lotus are looking good and Mercedes aren't far behind either. Unless if they're sandbagging really well, Ferrari's car is their worst in about a decade.
My initial reaction to that: "Nah that can't be rig...OH MY GOD"
Where the fuck did that come from? Everyone was expecting Caterham to be faster than these guys and Maldonardo pulls a time only .8s slower than the best in P3? I'm confused.
Me too. I like it when Ferrari are just slower than McLaren and RBR but this is just wrong. Come on guys, get the car at least sorted, for the good of the sport at least!
Yeah, I'm not even the biggest Ferrari fan, but I expected and wanted them to still be in top group.
