Notes:
- Trulli outqualified his team mate with a much higher fuel load and with a margin of about .3s
- Vettel must be the favourite considering that he is carrying almost 4 laps of fuel more into the race.
- The Ferrari’s are on a much higher fuel load, indicating that they might start on the Harder tyre.
- Kubica and Heidfeld look like they are on single stoppers, it will be worth watching if we have a BMW train in the race.
