Like said before, Hamilton seems to want to get out first, maybe just to lighten the car so that he can run faster since he didn't exactly have an impressive time with a heavy load of fuel or to have a clear track.

Lewis likes to come out earlier than the others, so he usually gets to line up first! Who gets out first will be the first in line.

I noticed that hamilton likes to get out first a lot as well, probably because he wants a clear track ahead of him. Whoever gets in line first.

Hamilton said he liked to be first because he's running in clean air. But it really doesn't matter because that's not necessarily the order they are going to cross the line at the end of qualifying. About 10 minutes of that last qualifying session is just burning fuel off anyway. Next year they are supposed to be changing the rules for Q3 so that doesn't happen. You will put in your race fuel load plus however much additional fuel for however many laps you think you will be running for Q3. Plus the overall time for the session will be cut down from 15 minutes to whatever the FIA determines at the start of the 2008 season but they have not indicated what that will be yet.
