Traditional Newey cars have been fast but fragile, stretching the limits of the rules etc.
Vettel's stop in P1 yesterday only highlights that it isn't bullet proof.

Old party pooper!

Sorry. I do want Vettel to do well though.

In the 10 years I've been watching Formula 1, and the 9 Jenson Button has been racing, I've been rather ambivalent about him. But I'm genuinely happy for him considering how it seemed as if his career was going to pieces after the last two seasons.

I've always been praying for at least one succesful Japanese driver (my mother's Japanese), so imagine my disappointment with Nakajima for underperforming compared to Rosberg considering the great strides Williams has been taking.

As for Alonso: "What the... what the hell, man?"

Well it went exactly as I suspected yesterday, with Brawn coming through to be scrapping for pole between them. (I did mention that I thought this would happen yesterday! ).

What I really didn't see coming was the performance of the Red Bull's. I had high hopes for them when their car was first unveiled, but not much expectation after testing.

I don't like to see any car fall away from the front such as McLaren or Ferrari, (as Williams did for a number of years) but it's great for F1 to have other teams fighting it out for pole for a change.

Mclaren and Renault are really struggling, its depressing from a fans p.o.v.
However in the wider scheme of things, today's result is amazing for F1. Just what we need after the points scoring farse, the uncertainty over Brawn and the points system uproar. Today has brought the headlines back on the racing!
Hopefully that can last until the end of tomorrow at least!

There struggling but the grid is so close, so it shoudldnt be to much trouble for the likes of Mclaren and renult to catch up.

It'll last until April 14th at the longest

Absolutely. As I said, I don't like to see any successful team fall away from the front. On a plus point however, in spite of the indications from testing, which suggested as much as six seconds between first and last place at one stage, there really isn't all that much between the field. Just over one second between first and tenth from memory, and the top end of the grid seemed to be constantly changing throughout every session. Once again I think this could be a season where multiple teams are on the podium.

aside from McLarens poor pace i was spewen Webber didnt finish his final lap off he was quicker than Vettel all weekend but didnt do it when it mattered.
Those who think Vettel will beat Webber easily better think again

I was somewhat disappointed about that, too - I was expecting him to be right up there at the front of the grid. Shame, but he does always go well around Albert Park so hopefully he can do something during the race.

Re - How fast the car will go with KERS on it - all the non KERS cars are faster thus adding KERs can only = slowness - at least on circuits that look like Albert Park anyway.
