Both Red Bull boys will do fine here, I feel it.

Low tyre deg is all nice and sweet when you have a strong baseline, but when your initial lap time is already 1 sec off Mercedes, then it counts for nothing really.
By the time you preserve your precious 1-stop-less strategy, Nico and Lewis are far gone up the road with a free pitstop in hand.
I still can't see past a Merc 1-2. They can't have lost so much ground since Bahrain.

You're a couple of minutes late with that news.

Maldonado will not take part in qualifying today (power unit issue).

Sauber's lighter car surely cannot come quickly enough for them.

Inters was the bad choice. Time to switch to full wets.

@andrewbensonf1: "Raikkonen has never before been out-qualified by a team-mate in China. A sobering start to his 2014".

Nice lap from Ricciardo. He really has it all going well for him. Race will be crazy tomorrow. Mixed weather would be perfect to spice it up.

Q: (Frederic Ferret – L’Equipe) Daniel and Sebastian, there are two Red Bulls in front of one Mercedes; do you think there is a chance that we see a Red Bull winning tomorrow or are the Mercedes untouchable?
SV: Well, I think if we put two chicanes in all the straights then yes.
DR: The idea is to get a good start for both of us and just drive side by side the whole race and then just fight it out on the last lap! Yeah, I don’t know. Realistically we have to wait and see but if we do I’m sure it won’t come easy.
SV: But do you agree on the chicanes still?
LH: Nah.
SV: It was worth a try!
