That was an interesting Qualifying session, because of all the sliding. I mean, even Hamilton's winning lap had two dangerous oversteer moments. I did not see last year's qualifying session, which was more wet, but the commentators said that there wasn't as much sliding.
Plus, it does seem that driver skill is much more in the play. For example, everyone was carefully avoiding the vibrators on corner exits (very slipery whe wet), except Ricciardo, or so it seemed.
I don't know what to expect from the race, but I think there are two possibilities: Either they will run a fuel management race from the start, and then the results from qualifying will not mean much, or they will not need to and then it will be pretty much F1 as before, but with many engine failures and more overtaking.
