Thumbs up Should Be An Interesting Race

Q3 was a pleasant surprise IMO.

Looks like the teams got more than they bargained with the reworked tires using the new 2013 carcass with the reversion back to the 2012 rubber compounds placed on top.

That Force India delamination was quickly "covered with a red bag by Pirelli, but it was too late, everyone had already seen the damage..." Said Will Buxton. Reminded me of "tire-snakes" or retread tire failures.

Of course all bets are off with the high probability of rain on race day...which changes everything the teams have learned during practice and quali sessions.
