Just watched the qualifying.
A bit of a letdown there on that final lap. I expected more of a push from McLaren.
Vettel is so much faster overall than everyone else. It is becoming very discouraging.

Agree, but it seems he bought pole with closer ratios and a lower top gear. This could make him vulnerable in the race. I will be on a plane back from London but will watch it on the DVR when I get home. Must resist the temptation to check in here and see the spoilers.

Hopefully Vettel's short gear ratios will cost him down the straights. It is interesting to note that Vettel topped out at 328 km/h (203.81 mph) on the straight while Petrov in the other Renault powered car hit 347 km/h (215.62mph). He will have to get away quickly to get out of the DRS activation zone during the first couple laps.
