Hamilton's problem seemed to be a rear suspension failure at least by the looks of close camera shot...

Yep, 2 tenths slower.

Was only 0.096 on TV, but Vettel is slower through the last sector anyway due to drag/downforce levels

That's the mediums.

Orange is hard
White is medium
Yellow is soft
Red is super-soft

This weekend we have hards (orange) and mediums (white)

Vettel deserves a reprimand for ruining Pic's last run. Incredibly stupid moves by Vettel.

Vettel v Alonso v Raikkonen - this will be the main theme for this year.

Mercedes is back to reality after a stonking qualifying performance in China.

Then it was on the mediums he set his fastest time then.

I thought it was charles Pic that turned into him after giving space. Not sure that was Vettel's fault

You do know that Webber in the other Red Bull was the fastest man through S3?

Was slower than Alonso by the second sector checkpoint anyway.

Obviously Ferrari has a best car then. :)

Wasn't able to watch FP3. Why is Massa 7 tenths down?

maybe...cos he was 7 tenths slower

I thought it was Vettel being upset about running into traffic in the last corner. Instead of backing off and blaming the team, himself or bad luck, he took it out on Pic – then repeated it in turn 1. Silly thing to do.

They're using the harder compounds here and there is no changeable conditions for him to take advantage of as in Australia and Malaysia.

I'm still waiting for BigChrome to come here and write how shitty Lotus is in real, and win in Aus and 2nd in China was only because of tyres. And tomorrow PP or any top 3 result will be due to tyres, and day after tomorrow as well. And how superior Mercedes is compared to Lotus, and Hamilton compared to Raikkonen.


Whoa, someone is very salty and also seems to insist in putting words in my mouth. It's true that I believe Australia was a complete fluke but I've never said any of the other things. In China, Lotus used clever strategy to get 2nd.
