Perez is going to have a fun afternoon, having to battle past the Loti.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

There were yellows when Jenson improved his time. Down to 7th for him then.

Massa hit the very beggining of that kerb. A couple inches ahead, and he could've made it.

Looks like McLaren's best strategy would be to let Hamilton through at the start, judging by Button's comments.

Oops.
True, However I believe Button had set a very slow 1st lap to prepare the tyres for the 2nd so he could have lifted & still set a faster time.

I think with yellow zones now the stewards look more at the throttle/speed traces than split/lap times as its easier to compare to previous laps.

Wasn't Massa just having his off when Jenson went through? The yellow was shown after he entered the scene, and then in a place where it should have been green.

I think it'd be harsh to penalise him for that.

Vettel has this one in the bag, unless Horner tells him to let Webber through

Shouldn't Alguersuari be ahead of Buemi, since Jaime actually went on track in Q3? :o


I really like this track. It looks great and is already giving us lots of actions. I think it's the best Tilke track since Sepang. Very nice elevation changes and it doesn't have near 30 corners like his other tracks. Big leap forward from Korea. The race is probably going to be awesome.

Yes, very good track. But if you ask me about the best "Tilkedome" I'd go with Istanbul all the way. Shame that track won't get much international racing (if any at all) in the future. The Korean track is an absolute joke, imo.

Interesting twist to the Massa wing saga, this AM he changed wings and I believe the second one didn't 'flutter' as much as the first
However he's now broken that one so he has to go back to the original. He can't use a different spec as that would be set-up change
