Mark Webber DSQ from Qualifying and starts last....very harsh considering it was not even in final qualifying.

Webber excluded,I don't think Kimi will be penalized for impeding Sutil in Q1

Stupid fuel rule!

Looks like a repeat of 2012.

RBR making more duck-ups. There's a surprise(!)

Well done Lewis. Mercedes look very good again in China.

Looks like Lewis made the right choice in moving.

[What's Burning?]

Qualifying is a joke, and the softs here this weekend are a bigger joke. Out of 45 minutes of qualifying cars were out on track for about 20 minutes. it's feeling more and more like WWE than the pinnacle of motorsports.

So. Is Webber going to start from the pit lane with a totally rebuilt car like Vettel in Abu Dabi ......?

[andrew]

The rules allow it so why not?

[LewEngBridewell]

Is this gonna be the most difficult F1 Pool or what??

Marussia seem to be really whipping Caterham's arse this year. Webber's mood will just have plummeted that little bit further.

Perez once again lacking in comparison to Button.

The rules allow it so why not?

I agree. Be interesting to see if they do.

Delighted Lewis is on pole but these tyres are making a farce of racing. Jenson said it was difficult to gauge how slow he could go . C'mon, this isn't what we want to see!! Those tyres aren't fit to be on those racing cars, they're ridiculous!

All it needs is an extra set of tires for those in Q3! Qualifying must be so frustrating for those lucky enough to be at the track

Great performance Lewis thought this might be the first weekend Nico beat him but lewis shines in quali as per

Very worried about Vettel + too a lesser extent Button, tho think the plan to start on mediums could work out well, but hopefully the mercs will come in good at the end on the meds

7am here i come

[LewEngBridewell]

Yeah, all it needs is QUALIFYING TYRES!!

Why is this not blazingly obvious to the FIA?!?!?! FFS

[andrew]

Less the FiA, more the Overtaking Working Group who make recommendation to teh FiA.

[Nin-Chin]

Lotus is good at saving rear tyres,but this is front tyre limited track,just a thought

[Hammer278]

Yeah, which is probably the thought process of the teams who are starting on options. But it will be a close call, both strategies have their pros and cons. I still can't call it, but Vettel on the podium is almost a certainty unfortunately.
