The big boys are out.

 

The Bulls are seriously holding back right now...not sure what they're P2 regimen is, but they're not showing their hand yet.

 

Looks like they are running a lot of fuel.

 

Not sure why Alonso thinks a pep talk is going to help his chances. lol

 

Button is a master at preserving his tires.

 

Vettel - tires and full fuel load be damned - is fastest.

 

Button is great, but he's admitted already that the new tires require a different way of preserving them. Not spinning the tires and driving smoothly no longer gets the job done, now they have to slow the degradation curve early on in the run or the tires will fall off exponentially faster. Vettel having clean air at the beginning of each race helps him tremendously while the other guys are fighting for position and degrading their tires quicker.

 

Well said.

 

If the P2 standings finish like this, it's going to be very deceptive to those that didn't watch.

 

What the hell is "DAY-BREE"?? Ha Ha.
