More rubber down on the track - more grip, faster times.

[FourWheelDrift]

Doesn't make Paul di Resta's times good then compared to Sutil & Liuzzi. And he's had time in the FI car before, unless he was trying something different.

[Henry Fiddleton]

Read else where he was doing heavy fuel long runs, most other people are light fuelled.

Still, the RB6, what a car...
