hawkmoon. very good points apart from the qualifying one. There is not a stipulation on qualifying and it would be almost impossible to manage. all drivers give it 100% so it could all depend.
strategy could be an issue with tyres and fuel. I wonder.........
Alonso is going to be fired up. no doubt. thats not always the best thing in the principality especially for qualifying. if i had to predict, i would say a front row of lewis and kimi. I just see Alonso and Massa being a bit too hot in qual.
look out for Nick, DC and Button as well. this track suits them.
