Romain Grosjean came back from a one-race ban to take the fastest lap in the Q1 session in Singapore, beating Paul di Resta by nearly half a second. Kimi Raikkonen underlined Lotus performance with third ahead of Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Mark Webber, Daniel Ricciardo, Sergio Perez, Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso.
Nico Rosbeerg was next, faster than Patsor Maldonado, Michael Schumacher, Nico Hulkenberg, Jean-Eric Vergne, Felipoe Massa and Bruno Senna.
Knocked out were Kamui Kobayashi, the two Lotuses; the two Marussias and the two HRTs.
The two caterhams you mean?
Joe I think you mean ‘Lotus UNDER-performance’ not “performance” : they had to resort to the supersoft tyre to get those laps …
It is called being tired. In this world it happens.
“underlined Lotus performance” ?
What performance did it underline?
That they were forced to use the supersofts to clear Q3?
They are ages behind in performance.
They hit the tires perfect a couple of races and that is it, like
Williams one-race wonder.
You write great stories and have much insight in F1.
This time I wonder if there are other reasons behind that sentence?
Some lobbying
What on earth are you talking about?
