  • Note 1: Timo Glock was issued a 5 place grid-penalty for changing a gearbox during Saturday practice.

 

Really surprising grid, the top three doesn't use the diffuser (Alonso uses only a prototype). Vettel really proves that he's one of the best drivers, that kid is seriously amazing. I think we might be in for a really good race, with the strongest teams (Brawn, Toyota) starting a bit more behind than before. Some improvement for Hamilton and McLaren, at least they made the 3rd qualy (Heikki sucks as always). Ferrari still so-so


Any prediction for the race? I'd love to see Vettel win




Around the Network

Red Bull are on fire, Button still has a chance in 5th though, and its good to see Lewis back in the top 10



It would be ironic if Red Bull secured a win, now that the diffusers are ruled legal...a team without diffusers winning
