Vettel's race will go one of two ways. He'll either battle through for some point, end up behind Webber and claim his fourth place... Or he'll get bogged down and make no progress whatsoever. What is the degradation like? I know it's tough on the rears, but is a one stop Sauber style race possible for him?

I read he's starting from the pit-lane now to allow Red Bull to 'find out what the fuel problem was' outside parc fermé conditions!! Obviously going to be no tinkering with ride heights and gear ratios there then!

Will he be able to change his tyres? My brain says no, but as he was disqualified from qualifying then its as though he didn't take part, so technically he may be able to!

How can they be allowed to benefit from disqualification??

Good welcome citizens.

Red Bull can claim the WCC if they outscore Ferrari and McLaren or if Ferrari get 5 fewer points and McLaren get 15 fewer points than Red Bull (if my calculations are correct).

I don't think any amount of tinkering can make up from a p24 start so it's punishment either way.

Just noted Ron and Prost chatting, Prost looked like he could have been negotiating a race seat.

I personally think Vettel will struggle, but would be happy to see him do well as it would mean a good race for us.

If Lewis manages his tyres it's his race, if he doesn't I think he'll get swallowed by someone, as for whether it will be a boring race, is not such a problem for me as it's not the middle of the night, for once.

Morning peeps
