Par contre s'il pleut, départ sous safety et là je sais pas ce que vaudrait Bob+R30 au "restart"........

On verra bien pour demain

J'ai l'impression que Robert embarquait moins d'appui en Q2/Q3 que en Q1:
Q1:
Vmax
HAM 287
SUT 285
BUT 284
MSC 284
LIU 284
ALO 284
Q2:
Vmax
HAM 287
KUB 285
MSC 285
SUT 285
GLO 285
BAR 285
Q3:
Vmax
HAM 287
KUB 285
MSC 285
SUT 285
GLO 285
BAR 285

Kubica pleased with Renault's decisions
Robert Kubica believes Renault can be very pleased with its decision-making in the rain-hit Sepang qualifying session after he claimed sixth position while several of the grid’s pacesetting squads made major strategy errors.
Kubica’s qualifying session was in stark contrast to those of the Ferrari and McLaren drivers in particular, the Pole finishing first and second in Q1 and Q2 respectively while those teams’ respective drivers all fell at the first hurdle after failing to set lap times in the early part of the session.
The Pole admits he was surprised to see the big teams wait in the pit lane for so long, pointing out that while Renault also thought the rain would stop quickly it still recognised it had to complete a ‘banker’ lap in case the weather turned again.
“I think quali one and quali two for the top teams it’s just [about] going through today and you have much more to lose like teams did today by waiting in the garage than going out straight away,” he said.
“They wait for better conditions, but better conditions might turn into worse conditions like happened today.
“So I’m a bit surprised that some people waited so long in quali one, but it’s their own decisions.
“We also had information that it would probably even dry up, so most probably we were even talking if it didn’t rain to maybe run with the slicks.
“But it doesn’t stop us to go straight away to set a lap time in case the rain will come.
“It was the right move – we set an easy lap – it starts raining and we were easy [in Q2].
“So I think decision-wise we made very good decisions.”
After a short rain storm saw the red flag was dropped three minutes into Q3, Kubica couldn’t quite reproduce his earlier efforts on his final laps with midfield rivals Adrian Sutil [Force India] and Williams’s Nico Hulkenberg sneaking ahead of him on the grid.
Pole-man Mark Webber was the only driver to gamble on intermediate tyres in the final phase and Kubica admits Renault did consider it as well, but ultimately opted for the full-wet rubber as it didn’t want to waste the opportunity to claim a strong grid slot.
“We were thinking about inters, also we were discussing about coming in for inters on the out lap,” the Pole revealed.
“To be honest, we took the safer option and there were some possibility that the rain might again and if this [decision] would not work then you are P10.
“So I think in our position of today where we need points and we need to us our opportunities, this gamble was just two risky.
“But we were talking quite long about it.”
Kubica, who finished a brilliant second in Melbourne last weekend after taking advantage of the race's early wet conditions, says another strong result here will depend on Renault making the right calls again, while also enjoying some good fortune, in what is expected to be more difficult weather.
“If the conditions will be like today – and everything is saying the conditions will be like today – it will just be a big lottery,” he said.
“You have to make sure you make the right decisions, but to make the right decisions in such conditions you have to be also lucky.”
Team-mate Vitaly Petrov had threatened to join Kubica in Q3 for the first time this season, but couldn’t reproduce his fourth-fastest position from the first phase and ended just below the cut line in 11th.
But while disappointed to not make the final phase, the rookie is still pleased to be starting from his highest grid position yet and is now eyeing a shot at a first points finish.
“It was difficult to predict the weather today, so we decided to go out as early as possible, which was the right decision because the rain kept getting heavier in Q1,” said the Russian.
“In Q2 the car felt good on the intermediates and I pushed hard throughout the session, but I just missed out on Q3, which is a shame.
“Still, 11th is a good place to start and if we get more rain tomorrow, anything could happen. I will be aiming to finish the race and hopefully score some points."
