Piquet makes the top ten shoot out that will help him keep his drive perhaps. :roll:

Assuming fuel loads are similar, it looks like Pole will be between Kovalainen and Hamilton with Webber with an outside chance

Lewis lost a mountain of time in sector three with those softer tyres, I hope he figures out how to get a balance between the start of the lap and the last fiddly bit.

Webber second but he is slow, perhaps on a heavy fuel load
