    Yawn... Here's hoping for a first corner crash that takes out 'The Man with the Golden Finger'

    Seb clearly disappointed. Seems like he wanted to get more out of the car.

    A lot can happen in a race this isn't the forgone conclusion people are expecting.

    Which makes it all the more disapointing. Still its better to have bottled it than just to have been slow i suppose.

    Did Jenson only do 1 run in Q3?

    Pretty sure Vettle, Webber, Alonso and Lewis all used 2 sets - don't know if any of them were used though?

    One run with two fast laps. The second was faster but didn't gain any positions so served only to wear the tyres a bit.

    Seb probably felt he didn't deserved it but I think he wont care about that for long!

    Hopefully tomorrow Seb has a good launch and Webber just slams the door on Lewis to give Seb the time to run away into the distance.

    The championship is over. Both Red Bull drivers made mistakes on their laps and still finished 1-2. Its a question of whether anyone else will win so much as a race.

    Don't take my word for it even Webber say it's obviously them that make the gap so big:

    Q: And how do you explain the domination?

    MW: The drivers!

    SV: Yeah.

    Rather than it being Newey or the drivers, isn't it surely the combination of all the talent in the team working so well together?

    Plus a ****load of Mateschitz cash, of course ;)

    Here is hoping Webber takes Vettel into turn 4. Feel sorry for Rosberg look who he is starting between. Massa looks good to be fair.

    Well Grosjean is in 11th, hopefully the first row is safe. Kimi behind Alonso again should be interesting, both were about equal in pace.

    Perez + Maldonado = TNT!
