    The RB looks quick but not that quick on the long runs so there is still hope

    Anyone notice on the BBC results page Chilton doesn't have a nationality, and everyone else does? Also, Pic and Bianchi hugely faster than their team-mates, Pic is 2 seconds quicker! Still half a second to the midfield though, so they don't seem to have closed the gap too much.

    That's basically our only hope of Vettel not leading every lap of the race, but i'm a Jenson fan, if McLaren lucked out in the rain tomorrow it would only act to force me to watch the painful spectacle of them sliding back to 12th&13th in the race so i'm going to hate it either way.

    Mclaren were lacking badly in grip so would rain help?

    McLaren are looking seriously slow and should be concerned. Rain may help to level it a bit but even then ther gap is quite large even considering both of their drivers have shown they can do well in mixed conditions, but the drivers ahead of them are no slouches in the wet either.

    Bet a few teams are praying for rain now, That red bull looks immense whilst others look fragile or just plain slow.

    Hamiltons off was probably (partially) self inflicted:

    Whilst Ferrari/Alonso are falling over themselves to say nothing at all

    I don't ask for much, but please, no repeat of 2011, the vast majority of the F1 World will be mightly pi$$ed off it that were the case!
    If Vettel wins again but is taken to the wire by a couple of drivers, that's fine but don't want anything wrapped up with 4/5 races to go...

    I blame Bernie!

    The 2013 'naughty boy' championship

    1. Bottas 2800 Euro for being caught doing 73.8 km/h in first free practice (pits)
    2. Gutierrez fined 800 Euro for doing 63.4 km/h in the afternoon session
    3. Webber escaped punishment for a illegal practice start
    4. Jules Bianchi also escaped any sanction after entering the pits from outside the entry bollard following a mix-up

    Woop woop

    Maldonado and Grosjean need to catch up!
