Oh how the mighty have fallen, which would be just about everyone after Jenson Button on pole. Webber and Rosberg (both on Renault) had gearbox problems that dropped them 5 positions and Maldonado had a mix up with Hulkenberg that put him back 3.
Lewis Hamilton put on the wrong wing yesterday and now he’s stuck with it, Vettel and Massa were just slooow.
Tires today are Hards and Mediums. Button has a set of unused Mediums in the bag over the rest of the field. The weather is expected to be dry and perfect. At 4.35 miles it is the longest circuit in Formula One and is considered twisty, hilly, and fast.
