1. In Q2 where, in principle the fastest times are established (the fight for Q3…) 2 of the front runners failed to beat their Q1 time : Felipe and Lewis.

It is a bit of a surprise as Q1 was done with the harder tyres and Q2 with the softer…

- Felipe was 0.198s slower and said in the press conference : “I couldn’t put together a good lap in Q2. I was a bit on the traffic and I was disturbed a little bit”

- Lewis didn’t say anything special (on this matter) but kept his harder tyres for Q3…

2. In Q3 Lewis after an unlucky first flying lap (showed superb control of the car in Corner 8 though !) could manage a good lap that put him 3rd on the gid but at 0.3s behind Massa, 0.1s behind Kova and only 0.01s in front of Kimi…

if I believe the “experts” the harder tyres cost 0.3s per lap so where did Lewis found this extra time ?

Another very surprising thing happened in Q2 3min30s before the end of Q2 when Lewis came back to the pits after his first flying lap to change his tyres: The mechanics were waiting for him with tyres in their hands but… surprinsingly (to me !) the car was then put back into the garage. A mechanic was looking to the right side of the car… Lewis was out quickly as he had time enough to do another flying lap….

I just wondered what happened and I am surprised you didn’t mention these facts, but may be you have not noticed them.

If anyone has a clue….
