I don't really see the benefit of opting for medium tyres like Button and Vettel have done, if you need to use both sets of tyres anyway. Like we saw with Sutil in Australia, the end of the race can be painful with a good position slipping through your hands if you run the worse tyres in the end. I'd like to get rid of them in the beginning. Ok, maybe except in Monaco, where you'd like to try to hold everyone up at the end of the race, like Vettel did in 2011 in different circumstances.
Anyway, I guess Kimi's best qualifying position since his comeback. And encouraging effort considering he has often lost better race positions due to compromised grid position. A golden opportunity to capitalize now.
Ricciardo also impressive. He really needs to get a string of similar performances together now to catch the attention of top teams.

I'm pretty surprised that Vettel didn't go for a time on the softs, I thought he might have the potential to start on the second row there. For McLaren, Sauber and Torro Rosso that Q3 tactic was more expected. Sets up an interesting race anyway. The key for the first guys on primes will be taking it really easy to start with, so they have something left to make the most of the clear air when they get it.
