    Can Vettel break into the 24s? Kimi seems to have a bit more pace compared to the last few GP's as well, hopefully he can qualify himself in the top 5 again!

    I don't think it's quite snowing here...sunny, no clouds and going to be pushing close to 40c today...and it's spring!

    I think the battle for pole is over already, it'll be a battle for the second slot.

    My prediction:

    Pole: Vettel
    2: Webber
    3: Hamilton
    4: Alonso
    5: Raikkonen (he's been very quick today, but his qualifying pace hasn't been great this season [I think he sets his car up for quicker race pace] hence 5th)

    I can see that no problem. Ferrari did so little running in Prac 3 its hard to say where they are....fighting with Kimi??

    Ferrari brought a lot of new stuff to India, lotus is fine tuning the car a bit more from Korea I believe. I think Ferrari has the upperhand race pace over everyone bar red bull. No idea where Mclaren stands, they could give the Ferrari's a hard time or Kimi could battle with them hard; tough to say since their disastrous race in Korea.

    Tires will matter here as they have all season. Seems like there is some graining on the right fronts(from the cockpit perspective). I think Ferrari will have good race pace. As you said though Mclaren did have a better Prac 3 and look stronger than Friday.
