Good pace from Brawns.
Hamilton ran out of tyre? Perhaps a heavy car?

Alonso changing big stuffs on his car with only 6laps of tests, 2th on qualy,

AFAIC the RBRs don't have a special diffuser right? Or have they managed to bolt something on, Ã la McLaren??

Alonso must be pretty light though. Either that, or he totally f*d up Q2. There is only like half a second separating his Q2 and his Q3 laps
Judging from the look on his face right now (at the press conference), it suggests he is indeed on fumes.

Alonso might be planning to get his softs out of the way asap imo.

Could be another great headline for F1 with the pollsitter gets penalised by losing his fastest (and only) lap!

Yeah, I think he said 2 days ago that the softs only last for 6 laps. Perphaps they planned a 6-lap first stint for him.

I've watched it in slow-mo, and it hard to tell, but it doesn't look like there was any yellow on the helmet. Which would make it Vettel...Originally posted by Lopek
Big question is which RBR was that blocked Kovi on his flying lap in Q2? I think it was Seb, and I would expect that car to get a penalty.

Yes, all cars weigh 605 kg with the driver in itOriginally posted by mumu37
anybody know the weights of each car? thanks
If you want the race fuel added to this too, you'll have to wait for probably a couple of hours

Was it Vettel or Webber who obstructed Kovy, anyone know? I'm expecting a penalty for whoever it was.
More likely Webber and he will be angry because he doesn't know he has a penalty yet.

Well, remember, Vettel getting penalised means Alonso on pole.
Yes, amazing performance. Anyone know the fuel consumption/time adjustment here?

That doesn't stop the stewards from "investigating" in Australia right?Originally posted by mkay
There will not be any penalty. McLaren will not protest.

Vettel is looking like the real deal. Beating webber again in qualifying. I think brawn will still win, their race pace is far superior.

They already have a small one ;)Originally posted by alg7_munif
Can't wait for a DD diffusor from McLaren and I hope that they will still be around after the WMSC.
Can't wait for the Ferrari and especially RBR one

I agree. And I think they are a lot heavier then all of those guys in front of them. I can't wait the fuel loads.

Vettel only made one run. The RB pulled into the pits after the block. Had to be Webber.
It could have been Buemi ??
