If I'm not mistaken, if they qualified on inters, on raceday they are free to make any setup changes they need to tackle a dry race?
No,but they can start on any tyre they want if its dry.
Brawn: "You try and put things in place and it's really up to
the drivers to see if they can make
the most of it.
We were just on
the limit of being
the last car. It did work out for us and with
the track drying, Lewis did a great job.
He really is settling in well to
the team. All our team is gelling very well. I'm not sure
we've seen all of it yet."
Hamilton:"It was a good job by
the team. I was surprised when I came across line. I went wide in Turn One and my dashboard told me I was three seconds down and then it was four seconds and then six so I didn't
know what was going on but I kept pushing. It's a blessing I am up here. Generally I feel comfortable in changing conditions. I can find
the limit and I pushed through
the middle sector and really caned it.""I was just so surprised when I came across
the line,"
the 2008 World Champion commented. "When I started
the lap I was about seventh or eighth and thought, ‘Oh my god’. It was raining more; I went wide at Turn 1 and my dash display said I was three seconds down, then five and six. I didn’t understand but just kept on pushing and I could see I was catching Sebastian. What a blessing! I’m so happy to be here."
Hamilton went on to explain that
he still views Red Bull’s RB9 chassis as
the fastest overall package, but is hopeful of putting up a stern victory fight on Sunday afternoon.
"This weekend they [Vettel and Webber] have both shown that they have incredible pace,"
he explained. "I'm hoping whatever
the conditions
we can try to fight it out with them. Red bull is generally a little bit ahead of us in performance, so that's why results like today feel even better. I think
we extracted more than
the car could actually do."
"I haven't had a good feeling all weekend. I'm not 100% confident
we have
the fastest package in
the dry, but in these conditions, it's more of a lottery and
the driver can make more of a difference. Our radar has forecasted it's going to rain tomorrow, so it's going to be a tricky race. Trying to choose
the right tyre, tyre management and pit stops will be key tomorrow."
Rosberg:"It was a tough qualifying and in
the end, I just got caught out. You just don't
know what is going to happen, but it's still possible to do a good race from fourth.
The car is good in all conditions."
