Lewis beat the 2004 Qual lap by 0.1 great lap

Interesting approche by Ferrari. So they'll probably do Med-Med-Soft in the race.

That will be very interesting I just hope it doesn't end like most other people who have tried to go on Softs at the end where it comes back to bite them, it has only worked for a few drivers and teams

Yup I hope so to + first corner is quite tight here so hopefully the get through it without damage

Webber on P3 next to Vettel, so he'll probably be P15 after the first lap.

1sec off quali record, 1.29 in 2004 was in race.

Anyway, incredible time by Lewis.

I predict another seal breakage on Massa's gearbox, in order to move Alonso up one place and to the cleaner side of the grid.

I don't think we are that far into the season yet (and the reason they did that was mostly because it was a new track with an incredibly dirty left side; the Nürburgring is used frequently so this really is not a problem). And besides, the Nürburgring has a very, very tricky first corner. If I was Alonso, I would feel much safer between Massa and Button rather than with Ricciardo and Grosjean in front of me

Poor calculations about track evolution look to have caused Rosberg to get elimiated in Q2. Mercedes should have known better...

Anyway, I'm expecting a number of drivers to start on the medium prime tyres in tomorrow's race and this will make things rather interesting I'm sure!
