Horner plays down qualifying impact (Setanta)[1]
?Mark [Webber's][2] race demonstrates that, given the marked difference between new and used tyres and the greater ability to overtake, qualifying position is not as crucial. With a few more laps [in China] Mark would have won, and with a few laps less Sebastian [Vettel] would have won from pole.?

Comment of the day
Lots of debate and discussion yesterday over Lotus?s plans for Caterham. JK sees the tie-up as a positive move[6]:
What is so wrong with investment into a solid British brand to ensure its future, the plan is to increase over time the model line-up and its global appeal by using F1 as a promotional tool. The Aaterham name is not going to get dragged through the mud if anything it will cement the brand as what it is which just happens to be steeped in Lotus/Chapman heritage.
The link is uncanny but as Caterham contacted Tony first I don?t see that it was a strategic finger up to Lotus cars or anything to do with the court case; whether win or lose the Team Lotus name may disappear anyway due to all the bloody squabbling, but Fernandes said from the outset that going into F1 was a precursor to producing road cars at some point. It wasn?t the fault of Lotus Racing F1 that Lotus cars/Proton pulled the pin on the agreement they had.
