Is this the first 'proper' race where we will see the pecking order for the rest of the season? Australia is always a bit quirky, Malasya a laugh, and China very 'W'et(tel).

No. The major updates don't usually arrive until they are back in Europe. I'd say Barcelona is more likely to be the indicator.

Difference between the top and midfield (hard vs soft) not big enough to stay on hards.

How on earth did Sutil overtake Webber on the straight after Webber set his final time? Webber should have been continuing for a second flying lap!

No it wasn't.

EDIT: Anthony Davidson just said that he's also just undertaken Piquet in the pitlane, so that'll be another penalty.

Two GP's on the trot Mclaren and Hamilton have wasted a set of supersofts in Q1. :down:

They'll run out again just like last week and end up fuelling the car heavily if they make Q3. Stupid.

I think Webbers speed was compromised in the last corner.
His whole qualifying was compromised actually.
Sutil has something coming.

I feel sorry for Webber. :|

Vettel 1st, Trulli 2nd and Hamilton third - 0.171s off Vettel's leading time.

McLaren is really improving. I shudder to think what the new DD could do to its cars comes Spain GP.

Let's see what happened in Q2.

Yeah, that's exactly what happened. Sutil was about to start his flying lap; Webber was just finishing his flying lap. Sutil moved over on Webber at the last corner, which slowed Webber right up, and then Sutil was able to pass him on the main straight.

That's not the point. He was held up but Sutil who was not on a flying lap at the time.

Yes. They wouldn't be the same tyres on the 2nd run I don't suppose?

Lack of confidence and objectivity.

Very fast though.

EDIT: I'm happy I was wrong. Great job by Lewis
