One thing did surprise me - Mark Webber coming out that early for his final lap(s). I felt that he would have missed the optimum track conditions on his first fast lap, and might opt for a second fast lap, which he did. However the question remains :"Did his tyres go off before he ended his last ditch lap?" Would he have pole had he gone for just one fast lap? Buggered if I know. :(
Pity about the rain....it would have been interesting to see if the f-duct cars had anything for the RBRs down the 3 consecutive straights. We all know the RBRs will pull away through the fast sweepers and the twisty bits.
But, the rain always brings something unexpected, doesn't it?
Perhaps something nice for Mercedes or Renault...perhaps a shake-up in the WDC fight?
It has already been raining overnight. No guarantees it will still be wet at the start and during the race though.Quote:

I genuinely hope for some proper mixing up in the end result, be it due to rain or tyre degradation or whatever. Kubica or Rosberg on the podium perhaps? As long as the title fight stays tight in the end I'll be thrilled either way, and I'm actually expecting an awesome race.
I don't think I'll be able to force myself awake in time to watch it live though I'm afraid. :(
Don't know who is in Miami but I got Burger and Beer Joint at the beach to commit to show the race on the big screen at 2. Don't have Speed TV down here so that's gonna have to do!
Buddy! you need a good PVR with time shift. :up:Quote:

to me that first lap is going to be key. In fact the two long straights are going to be critical if rain does fall.
Either way i am excited about the race as usual and hope to see something good.
Yes he only left one set for q3 but without traffic he could have had a lap equal to the one he put in in q2.Quote:

Felipe Massa: "I am not happy, especially because sixth place means I have to start on the less clean side of the grid, which is a major handicap on a surface as dirty as this one. I was very pleased at the end of Q2, because the car was more competitive than yesterday and I thought I could fight for a top place. Unfortunately, I had a bit of traffic on the only run I did in Q3 on my last set of new soft tyres: a shame because the car was going well, but I was not able to get the most out of it.
