Strange interview with Horner there.
When asked about Ricciardo's quali' he made a big fuss about how Ricciardo made "exactly the right choice of tyres" and how he "picked exactly the right time to come in for tyres".
S'funny cos it actually looked like DR wasn't really sure about coming in for inter's, tried to put it off for a couple of laps and then finally capitulated to the team's "suggestion" and then got told he was short of time because he'd left it too late.
And, meanwhile, Hamilton set faster and faster times on the wets and Alonso, a guy who's usually pretty switched on, started off on the inter's (and, thus, had the best idea of what they were capable of) and decided that wets were the way forward when he went in for new tyres.
Seems like the real story is that DR probably let himself get talked into running inter's, might have got pole if he'd stuck to his guns and stayed with the wets and Horner's praise was an attempt at making it up to DR.
In other news, Vettel comprehensively out-driven by DR.
Even without the yellow flag he was never anywhere near DRs pace.
*EDIT*
Typhoon in Oz tomorrow?
