Gap from P1 to P2 in Q3 bigger than gap from P1 to P13 in Q2.

No doubting Vettel's qualifying ability, looking forward to seeing that lap.

But the race really could have done with a Force India or maybe even Maldonado and his erratic self stealing pole. I expect Vettel and Lewis to drive away from everyone a la Canada tomorrow whilst Alonso, Schumacher and Massa prey on the Q3 runners in shit tyre shape.

Why on earth was Rosberg on Hamilton's gearbox when starting his final Q3 lap? Such stupidity.

Last year being 4 tenths behind his team mate would have put him maybe 4th or 5th. This year, a simple mistake will put you far back it's just that close this year.

3 tenths seperated 1st and 13th in Q2.

Last season 3 tenths from pole would have garunteed a 2nd place start to vettel :p

Button saying he went into turn 2 on his last lap & had no front grip.

Said the car was good through the rest of the session.

Hope for a decent race tomorrow,and some crazy things from the FI-s and Maldonado,Ferraris and MSC might have a shot from P11-P13 with tyre choice.
Vettel-meh.

Ever since they put on this new nose he's had these issues. Why can't they just go back to the old one?

That would make too much sense.

On the other hand, both he and Lewis have been struggling this weekend, so it's not just his problem now.

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.

I remember that Montoya and Raikkonen drove with different noses during the 2006 throughout several races. If he really has some influence he can force them to go back for him only.

If it was the front wing, it'd been off his car after FP2 in Spain.

There's something with the car that's causing understeer on entry & oversteer on exit. Destroying his rear tyres.

McLaren has gone backwards since the first two races.

At Canada they admitted they'd messed up with the suspension settings on Buttons car and that was why the tyres were eaten up so quickly. Imagine someone ordinarily had on their tyres putting up with that. He's really been much better so far this weekend except for that one part on the most important lap.

Britney isn't happy with Lewis for being uncooperative in Q3

Well, leave a bigger gap? It's a massive track Nico.
