No one has tuned in so far after the first session... Hamilton was insanely quick, almost a second quicker than Button in 2nd. Are Red Bull focusing on race pace this session? Mercedes definitely was.

Vettel is tops now. We shall see if they can challenge Mclaren. Ferrari need alot of work and the hard tire is going to work against them big time.
Some glitch holding up JB resigning for Mclaren, seems strange to me, the best pairing in F1 with Ham IMO.
I don't think they have the tire control for it. We will see. I know they will be close but I bet they dice with Red Bull more than Mclaren. I could be hugely mistaken!
I don't believe we are seeing anyone really on low fuel yet. Petrov has the quickest trap speed at 347kph with Kob 2md at 344kph
