As with Silverstone, there's only one DRS zone, placed on the run-up to the Veedol chicane. As far as I'm concerned, this looks like a good place for it to work.

I also heard that all teams but HRT, Lotus and Virgin are illegal this weekend. Why?
Driver overalls.

Oh dear, here we go again. Bathplug the FIA! But also praise them, for a chance of unrejectification for the new teams. But then we lose a potential profile on this site for HRT!

Although I think Di Resta will have another front wing loss... Renault and STR are not far behind. Is Renault dropping back the field? Is FI finally bringing themselves together?

Renault is losing people left, right and centre. Two more design engineers and 1 aero guy left and are starting with Williams soon and at least 6 more guys to leave by the end of the month. Rumour has it that more and more people are being poached by Ferrari.

I think he did that on purpose to do an Alguersuari.

Surely Kobayashi's quick enough to make Q2 on hards, he could then settle for about 13th by not using softs, and have them for the race.

Nah, there's probably 'cracks' in the chassis and they swap it with webber's next race.
I think webber just took a while to get used to the tyres. They both had to get used to them, and the DRS and KERS, and vettel was the quicker learner. But webber has never been a slack qualifier and struggled more with the new stuff. He got pole last race remember, this is not just Vettel having a higher downforce.
Though webbers starts suck and RBR normally throw his strategy away under the bus to help/protect vettel, so I'm not expecting anything from this. But poles and fastest laps are nice and that's the best a webber fan can expect these days...

Toro Rosso, for the record, believe that Buemi's fuel might have been contaminated from chemicals present within the new fuel pump that Toro Rosso fitted to Buemi's car following fuel pressure problems in FP1 and FP2.

My post wasn't good enough?

It's been raining this morning and showers expected all day so should be an interesting race!
