2013 Petronas Malaysian GP Qualifying**Spoilers**

They're trying to maintain their tires, but I don't know if putting on a bigger wing is the answer. How do you make that decision at this point in the game? Their degradation issues must be critical.

 

'Strategy old chap.'

Gotta play the hand you're dealt.......

A Rosberg or Hamilton pole would not at all surprise me now

 

Indeed they do. It's almost as if Bernie asked Pirelli to make a tire the Red Bull couldn't use doesn't it. Strange they would have to alter their car so radically just to make nice with a tire.

 

Maybe Mercedes were smart not to take on Di Resta

 

Ya' got there in the end!..... Now you've covered pretty much *all* the bases!

Lotus, Ferrari, The Cans and now Merc, you've said they'll all get it!

Cheers,
Ian
PS, Again, no offense, just chuckling.

 

Hey F1 changes. I call it how I see it. It's amazing how many journalists stated Merc were the quickest team going into this season, I denied that position completely.

 

Not buying that one..... They'll be just fine.

Cheers,
Ian

 

Just watching that line move on the tires after only a lap is distressing. These things look like they are falling apart almost immediately.

 

+1

IIRC, there were quite a few here that wanted him in Phil's seat not so long ago.

Good Lord Nico is quick

 

I think they just have to figure out how to make the tires work with their design.

WOW!! Rosberg at 1:36.1

 

Rosenberg almost into the 1:35s! Beats Suril to the top

 

Does that tend to mean it'll be on the track real soon?

 

32.0 in sector 2 for NIco. That is madness.

 

RBR seems to have figured it out lol. Well, Webber at least

 

Again, I reckon they'll be just fine...... If I'm wrong, they're all in deep, deep, **** tomorrow!

 

Nobody's immune to it, that's for certain.

 

Here it comes.......

 

Paul is looking more like a rookie than a veteran. Bad timing.

 

We were already seeing droplets on the track. They're going to hold up Q3, because you guys get CRAZY rain when it pours.

 

Thanks. Sure seems that way

Gotta be honest, I'd much rather it stays dry for now. Then we may just get a clue.....

OTOH, seems the slicks can't last according to many, so it damn well better rain or they'll be out of tires tomorrow!
