If Charles Pic experienced an ideal race, if not perfect, during which only the KERS was missing from his Marussia to fully compete with the Caterhams, Timo Glock faced more difficulties, losing all hope of having a good race right from the start, which relegated him behind the HRTs.

Qualified in 7th position, Kimi Räikkönen finished the race in 7th after spending most of his time in Felipe Massa's exhaust. The Finn, however, had to settle for seeing the diffuser of the F2012, due to insufficient top speed to overtake. Romain Grosjean, on the other hand, managed to gain a few positions and two points but also suffered from Lotus's setup choices.

It seemed difficult for the McLaren drivers to challenge Red Bull for the front row, but Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button will do everything to make their team shine at the Indian Grand Prix, relying on their race pace for that. Moreover, the two MP4-27s will be ahead of the two F2012s on the grid, their rivals in the constructors' standings.

After an encouraging Free Practice 3, the Lotus drivers suffered from a lack of grip in the Lotus E20.
