The track (56 laps, 5.543 km per lap)

 

So, looks like Button is heading for another win. Toyota is doing fantastic also, Williams very good too. The three are making good use of the diffuser. Vettel excels too, pity he'll lose 10 spots for what happened last race. McLaren and Ferrari are still not on track, they're very slow compared to the top cars. This could make a very interesting season.

Any prediction for the race? I'm sure Button will take another win, he looks very motivated this season, and the car is behaving wonderfully too

Race starts at 9:00 GMT

Jenson on pole again, watched it on BBC this morning!



I think I may be cheering for Button this year. I'm a diehard McLaren and Hamilton supporter, but Button's doing amazingly, and I've always liked him, and the Silver Arrows don't look like they're gonna challenge for the title this year (I hope they do, though). Plus, as long as nor Ferrari nor Alonso win, I'm cool, so no problem

Around the Network

This is a great race, rain always makes it more interesting



damn, there going to wets again, this is mad, i dont know whos gonna win, lightining just hit the grandstand!!!!!!!!



It is going crazy, Ferari bought their drivers in to change tires on consecutive laps, I have no idea what is going on!



Red Flag!

i dont know what happens now, but the race has stopped for now!



I have never seen this before, hopefully they will restart

What is quite funny is that Ferrari have got every decision that they have made completely wrong
