The Red Bulls are quick over a lap, but they shred the soft tyres after 4 laps. Considering they have to start on the set they achieved their best time with I'd Vettel is in for a tough time from the Ferraris'.

So who do we reckon will run out of fuel before the flag?

I can't begin to predict a winner. The running full of fuel thing chucks in so many unknowns that I reckon anyone in the top 10 has a chance of bringing it home.

Didn't see the qualifiers, was out fitting new brakes to the car.  Sounds like it was pretty good though!  I'll definitely be watching the race tomorrow!

I'm gonna say Alonso will win it. Button has a good chance as he is one of the smoothest drivers out there so he will take good car of his tyres.

Agree on the tyres there but he has a bit of work to do. Its just too early to tell I guess with this fuel situation.

Heart says Button, head says Massa.

I did like how at the end of Q1, all the top 10 drivers were together chatting and congratulating each other...all except Schumacher who was out side watching the tyre bloke test pressure / temp on one of the McLarens. He was having a good old nose round the car too  :grin:

He was probably trying to have a good look at that air thingy they have on their car.

My mate runs sub assembly at Mercedes Motorsport (Ilmor), when schumacher came to the factory in Feb, he had them taking bits of the engine, on his back underneath it, asking so many questions. When button and Rubens came round he said they didn't know the front from the back. Only Alonso was as committed as schumacher when at the factory.  :lipsrsealed:
