Tom Clarkson
BBC F1 pit-lane reporter"We had similar conditions during FP2 on Friday and the hard tyre, in some cases, lasted less long than the medium tyre. So it will be interesting to see how that pans out."

Pirelli Motorsport: "We're looking at 3 stops today for most drivers. If degradation can be contained at the start, 2 stops is possible too. Most teams will want to have a flexible approach, with the possibility to switch from 3 to 2 stop strategy and vice versa."

Eddie Jordan
BBC F1 chief analyst"Lewis Hamilton is so dominant, confident and fast - he is on a different race track to everyone else at the moment. He is looking that good.
"It's not going to stay like this, there will be trouble in the future so he is trying to get as many points as he can now."

Eddie Jordan
BBC F1 chief analyst"I think the penalty for Grosjean was a little bit severe. Grosjean is out of position for sure, but also out of position is Raikkonen.
"Those two are next door to each other and we know there will be fireworks sooner or later. They can have a great race together, work up the field together and get inside the top five - both are capable. But they could also clout each other."

BBC F1 co-commentator on the grid"Things to look out for this afternoon - it is hot, it is the longest grand prix, and we are going into unchartered territory in terms of engine reliability.
"It is all going to be about tyre strategy. Will they be going option, option, option? Or will they be going on to the hard tyres?"
