Webber didn't have a good qualifying run, he is in the 11th spot on the starting grid. He mentioned that he only used one set of tires in the qualifying round which did not give him a good result.

These tyre rules are nuts in recent times. They save them in Q so they get more to use on race day.

Each car costs 100s Millions to start on the grid, and F1 are nickel and diming about how many sets of tyres can be used!

Grosjean

Although Webber should do pretty well if he has fresh tyres in the shed.

I like the rules with the tyres, it seems to level the field a little and allows exciting racing.

Race Results.

1. Pastor Maldonado
2. Fernando Alonso
3. Kimi Raikkonen
4. Romain Grosjean
5. Kamui Kobayashi
6. Sebastian Vettel
7. Nico Rosberg
8. Lewis Hamilton
9. Jenson Button
10. Nico Hulkenberg

Five races and five different winners.

Next, the show moves on to Monaco.

I bet there was a scramble to find the Venezulan national anthem!

It's not designed to save money necessarily.

It's designed to mix things up and make the races more even. 5 races, 5 different winners, and 7 different cars in the top 8 places shows it's working pretty well.

The most open season in years, and the prospect of a great race in Monaco in a fortnight
