In Q2, it was the Toro Rosso, 2 Sauber, Force India of Sutil, the Williams and Renault Hukkenberg Petrov who went by the wayside. Petrov scoop here note that a penalty of 5 seats because of his penalty in Japan.
Q3 could then start with a bang, with Fernando Alonso, who last fall was the 1:36 mark! One thinks that the pole is played, especially that Webber can not approach the time of Spanish in the first round of his latest salvo ...
