Everyone else exept Hamilton? All others were pussies and didnt dear to try intermediates..

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

when Kimi came to the pit to change tyres, he was lapping faster than Hamilton, and when he came out, with new tyres, he was still lapping faster.., anyways Kimi doens't usually drives well in the rain, so i'm not surpsised by todays performance

interesting people say hamilton got 15th because he put on intermediate tyres, but then when he put on wets again he was still miles slower then others like mark webber in worse cars. i hope hamilton is eating his words about belgium now, when he made out kimi didnt have the balls to break late for turn 1 in the wet. i hope he understands now that different cars respond differently in wet weather, if anything, maybe he has been lucky in other wet weather races because his car responded well in the conditions, and perhaps he got a bit cocky thinking its all about his ability. But a performance like Vettels is really worth celebrating, better then anything Hamilton has achieve being in the best car every race.

Lewis claims:
"By the time I got out, it had begun to rain and I just missed the window when the track was at its fastest; it was also very hard to pick out the braking points"

Thats a lame excuse when you consider Webber put in the 3rd fastest time at the end of qualifying, when it wasnt in the 'window when the track was at its fastest'

are you "Loughing out loud"? then there is something wrote in your head :D what cant you understand?? are your a hamilton fanboy??

yes, maybe hamilton went with a more dry setup than others - it could explain why he was so much slower than even kimi and kubica who were out at the same time

Still, 15th on the grid, and with a dry setup, he'll lunch people on the straights if it stops raining tomorrow. Vettel for the win!!!!

Everyone knows that million-to-one chances happen 9 times out of 10; indeed, it's a common requirement in fairy tales. If the human didn't have to overcome huge odds, what would be the point? Terry Pratchett - The Science Of Discworld

That would be an explanation. But personally I'm inclined to reiterate Dave's point that they would have changed the settings on Hamilton's car very quickly.

Remember in Q1 he set the 2nd fastest laptime, and it was pretty wet then. I think he just got out drove really, why would that be so impossible?

As I already said - Lewis lost 4 seconds between Q1 and Q2, whilst others lost between 4 tenths and 2 seconds. He had the speed, he already displayed that. But when it came to having to getting it done, he couldn't do it.

If so, why they changed to dry setup in Q2? They could also guarantee to get in top ten with a wet setup and change to dry setup just before Q3? It just doesn't seem logical to make the change for Q2 instead of Q3.

I'm a bit 50/50 as to whether Raikkonen and Hamilton are on wet weather set ups or not. On one hand Hamilton had the speed in Q1, but as it was that little bit dryer I think it was possibly a lot easier to get a decent lap out of a dry setup by following the dry line that was forming at that time.

Great job by Vettel, would love to see him win tomorrow. Although I still think it will be either a Macca or a Ferrari that will take the spoils tomorrow.

you cant change setup during qual, once you go on track in Q1 you are set with that setup for the rest of qual and race

Hmmm, I thought you are able to change setup during quali. So, the teams have to decide final setup after FP3 then? Thanks for the info.
