Yeah, I have to say the biggest surprise to me was Vettel. Not only was he heavier than Webber, he would've been 2nd quickest.

But we'll see how it all works out for Red Bull tommorrow. Really, Vettel needs to fight through the field. No getting stuck behind other cars. He needs to muscle onto the podium, and aim for victory. He mentioned how Kimi came back from 20 points down in 2007 and won the championship. He only done that by winning constantly.

Still rooting for Vettel to win this championship.

But although its early days, the man who actually looks good to take the fight to Button is Barrichello. But we'll see if he can carry this form forward. Can you imagine Rubens as world champion.

Not really, I can't... :wink:

That does seem to be Vettel's weakness this year. He hasn't really fought through the field :-\

I just want Force India to finish in the ponts, which they should judging by today's performance.

Let's just hope Kimi doesn't get too excited again

I can see it now....it's been an epic race and a stunning drive by Fisichella who's about to start his last lap unil Kimi gets the slip stream and pounces with the KERS :yikes:

He'll be planning it now - no one switches from Ferrari engines and gets away with it! :eek:

Fisi sure knows how to step up when his name is mentioned in the Ferrari camp, good to see him do well.

That said, my money's on Kimi tomorrow; high speed circuits are made for him.

Cheers

Kimi, what’s the 5th grid place like? "It’s the 5th grid place." - Kimi

I'm loving the Fisi comments. All these people saying, com'n Fisi, we knew you had it in you.

Thinking back to the end of 2007. Fisi booted out from Renault, I remember the forum being flooded with, "Fisi is crap and should retire" :hehe:

Not to mention many people believing that Sutil would thoroughly beat Fisi at every race. The majority verdict was that Fisi was another driver hopelessly clinging to F1. Now theres talks about Fisi driving for Ferrari!

What a strange year its been.

From Button dominating Schumacher style and running away with victories, to a Force India on pole.

But Massa still isn't here :crying:

He'd be winning races god damnnit. Get well soon Felipe

Fair play to Fisi and the Force India guys, what a result for them!!!

Unfortunately Button seems to be going backwards at the moment which is a bit worrying, I just hope he can pull out the race of his life tomorrow, and at least finish somewhere in the points.

I think him being just behind Hamilton on the grid could help at the start, if he can stay in the slip stream of the KERS car and out of trouble into the first corner then more than a few places could be made up. After that, Spa is not to bad for potential overtaking (unlike Valencia last week) so IMO he's got the chance to show what he can do. I also think that it could be beneficial to his state of mind that he is so far back, he's got nothing to lose by pushing hard, instead of the conservative approach of Valencia.

Should be an exciting race with the order seriously mixed up and a track like Spa, cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
