An hour to go now, before the lights go out! Another front-row lock-out by Red Bull but this time with Vettel on pole. Can Webber steal the lead in lap one, like Vettel did to him in Korea?
How close will race-pace be, between Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren?

Will Räikkönen be able to mix it with Massa or will the group ahead ease away from him?

The Force India's are probably a bit out of position and should be able to move forward.

Di Resta could probably attempt a one stopper or even Grosjean, could see some mixed up strategies

If not for last minute set up change Kimi could mix up with McLarens for 3rd place.

Now it's bigg unknown how good his race pace would be...

Yeah, the man himself said a realistic target would've been the second row if not for those set-up changes. Bad news!

He needs the track conditions to come to him but who knows if everything will fall into place for that to happen.

A Lotus team member told me that most guys could do the whole race on one set of soft tyres #F1 #IndianGP

Looks like a 1 stop is very likely

[MortenF1]

WTF! Hamilton's headrest isn't properly on! Knowing McLaren they wont notice and it'll come off in the race....

[SUPRAF1]

Hamilton doing an interview?

[ayali]

Hey that was a nice interview with Lewis.
Well done Lewis and Brundle

Wow lol, a hamilton grid interview.

[Lights]

Has that happened before? Martin was really waiting for him, seems like they agreed prior to it.

[SDLRob]

If they are doing a 1 stopper, then the front runners on softs would have to make the 1st stint last for at least 25 or so laps.

Give us a summary then, folks! Not everyone is watching BBC or Sky......

I do like the Lotus twitter account.... always assured a good laugh

[Kelateboy]

You should switch the two side... Pole position is on the right hand side.

OK, I'll youtube it later.

[swerved]

The safety car was certainly warming its tyres up.

They did, last time was when lewis had a tribute for someone on his helmet, can't remember when or where

[MortenF1]

Grosjean, Kobayashi and Schumacher on primes.

Singapore 2011 and Hamilton crashed out. I know who to blame if he crashes out today, damn you Brundle. Just getting it in now.

[RockyRaccoon68]

Rocket start from Lewis to pass Webber then he can take Vettel on the next straight while Alonso catches up!

Ok. Perhaps Bob Marley?

[choyothe]

Crazy tow!

[WatchingF1since4yearsold]

well that's the first 2 places over then.

Button Hamilton Alonso - Epic!

[kosmos]

Go Alonso!.

[Massa]

Massive straight line speed for Ferrari

[choyothe]

DRS between 3-6 will be massive I think soon.

[Junky]

Michael left the lucky in his first career.

[sock22]

Race over, enjoy the Red Bull parade guys

[jstrains]

Nice aggressive first lap from Alonso

[WatchingF1since4yearsold]

race for 3rd is the only thing of any interest whatsoever today then.

[Longtimefan]

Mark almost got alongside and chickened out.

Race over now. 1.2secs on lap one, cannot believe this isn't another Newey cheat somehow.

[Rentta]

Apparently great start by kovalainen

Vettel is unstoppable :-P

[choyothe]

Alonso will take Button with DRS

[revlec]

How FAST is the Ferrari??? look at both ALO and MAS on the straights!!!!

[choyothe]

Ferrari's got a crazy good race car

[sha]

Vettel is unstoppable :-P

Red Bull too.

[Kerch]

This would be a great race if the battle for 3rd was the battle for the lead.

[Raziel]

Ferrari with superb DRS and top speed!

[jstrains]

Superb pass on Button and now close in on Red Bulls!

[WatchingF1since4yearsold]

Ferrari's got a crazy good race car

well, faster than the McLaren's yeah, but they will still be nowhere near the procession 1-2

Looks like.

Boring race like last year

Alonso driving a blinder. Here come the endless start replays...

Dominant top speed and a DRS-pass? Okay then...

Button is really slow
