The most remarkable thing from yesterday's qualifying session - apart from Hamilton's usual, outrageous luck - was that the rain tires somehow already work on the 1st timed lap on the Mercs, whereas all other cars need 3, 4 or 5 laps before the tires deliver acceptable grip levels. I can't remember any car that could do that for the last 30 years. I wonder if Mercedes prepare the tires differently. Did anybody notice anything?
