Michael
Schumacher was 3rd in Qualifying in the Formula 1 qualifying held at Sepang,
Malaysia.. He was the fastest of all the drivers in the Sector 1, however, he
lost time in the Sector 2. He did a great Sector 3. He did only one lap and
saved his tyres for the race. Lets see how much benefit he gets for running
only one lap in the Q3 and saving his tyres.
Lewis
Hamilton again scored the second Pole position this season and the second slot
on the grid was taken by his team mate Jenson Button.
In an
interesting strategy, Vettel chose to use hard tyres and hence will start on
the hard tyres in the race. So he is expected to drive for a longer time before
coming in for the first pit stop. Lets see how this strategy helps him. If
there is a crash in the first lap or second lap and the safety car comes in,
then the advantage of others using the medium compounds will be
neutralised.
