Spanish press speaks about problem with front tyres in Jerez but they said it is resolved.
Also, the do an analysis about runs, for 1 lap run Redbull at the moment it is fastest but a 7 or 6 laps run alonso is fastest constantly, also they said that they knew vettel was doing the runs with more fuel in the tank.

Even I have to sleep sometime. What are the longest stints on SS tires and how bad was the degradation per lap? Fuel load speculation is welcome :wink:

The Hulkenberg time is quicker than the quickest Force India time on softs in the Spanish Grand Prix - I think that settles it then - the cars will be quicker this year in terms of qualifying laptimes.

11:56 1m22.891s for the world champion, using the soft tyres (autosport.com) or did they correct themselves somewhere?

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.
