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
