    That Red Bull looks a little rapid. Alonso will get into top 10 tomorrow easy. Ferrari is quick on the hard tyre. Not so on the soft

    Hamilton is destroying Button this season so far. I could be wrong, but isn't it 8-0 in Qualifying and 5-2 in the races?

    Haha yeah, I wasn't surprised by Lewis out-qualifying Jenson, that's a given for me, I was amazed by Jenson falling behind that much, on 9th place ( at the time of your post)

    Epic lap from Vettel, Hamilton pulls a time out of the bag somehow the McLaren hasn't looked strong enough for P2 this entire weekend.

    Unbelievable how close Q2 was, the likes of Ferraris and Schumi missing out Q3 for being 2 tenths slower than the fastest time!

    I'm excited to see a battle between Vet and Ham, but I think the race pace of the Lotus won't be matched especially as its even hotter tomorrow.

    Even as a Hamilton fan I can see Vettel clearing off from the front tomorrow. He seems to just have more pace than everyone else around Valencia.

    I think it will be a Vettel/Hamilton/Alonso podium tbh.

    from Ted Kravitz's twitter:

    Ted Kravitz ‏@tedkravitz
    Lewis Hamilton could be in trouble with race stewards again - he's just been called to answer Rosberg's charge that LH ruined his lap..

    To explain: Lewis slowed down at the end of his out lap to make a gap ahead. That backed Nico into him, compromising the Merc's lap..

    At other tracks that wouldn't be a punishable offence, but due to turns 21 to 25 being blind at VLC, drivers aren't allowed to go slow there

    ee point 10 from team managers meeting yesterday. Did LH drive 'unnecessarily slowly' thru T21-25? http://pic.twitter.com/8u7t0BqQ...

    How does one define: "unnecessarily slowly"? FIA incompetence strikes again.

    Thankfully, no penalty has been awarded.

    Maldonado will be in contention for victory tomorrow providing he doesn't revert back to being an idiot.

    If Vettel finishes the first lap in the lead there's no point in watching the rest of the race.

    I'm hoping for a Lotus victory; Grosjean definitely wasn't going all out in Q3 and they're good on tyres. Maldonado may have something up his sleeve as well.

    should be a good race, Hamilton, Vettel and the Lotus drivers all have a good chance of the win, not sure whether Maldonado will have the pace or not though.

    can't wait for it!

    I just pray it isn't a 2011 race where Vettel leads the whole way, it would be exciting to see the lotus boys in contention for a win as well.
