No, I say that pretty much every race. I was saying it in the first 7 races too. It's a well established fact, Friday Practice only gives you broad information unless you dig deeper into the numbers, and even then it can mislead you. We've seen teams like Red Bull and BMW come from nowhere on Fridays in the past to fighting for Pole come Saturday.

Unless the Brawns were running a ton of fuel in FP2, it's fairly obvious they're not frontrunners here.

To be honest I would prefer a Jenson win this weekend. another british champ would be great.

I am but we aint going to win anything this season,so I would prefer a british driver in a british team to win.A tenth world champion would be great.

As long as we get 2nd and 3rd to get passed the fia's favorite all will be good

I'm still not convinced that Button would be a worthy world champion

I completely agree. Some people say the 2009 has been / is exciting, but I think it's been farcical.

None of the top running drivers have been exactly World Championship material over the last few races!

Kimi Raikkonen. Everyone else has been so inconsistent recently though, yeah.

I did think of him but he is not a top runner for this years championship. I do think Kimi is really doing quite well at the moment.

[Hanwombat]

I do have a soft spot for Kimi deep down

[7UpJordan]

Well I was surprised to see Fisichella struggle, I was expecting him to be fighting for the win inspired by the Tifosi and his chance to drive a Ferrari.

One interesting note, Nakajima went off at the Parabolica in P2 and Patrick Head just smiled and laughed back at the garage. Does this mean the Hulk is on his way as soon as he wraps up the GP2 title this weekend?

From F1 Live:

Hamilton: KERS worth 0.4s in qualifying

By Pablo Elizalde Friday, September 11th 2009, 15:04 GMT

Lewis Hamilton is in optimistic mood for qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix, as he reckons his KERS system will give him a four-tenth advantage.

"I'm pleased with our progress," said the McLaren driver after practice, in which he finished in 11th position.

"It's always a little nerve-wracking when you arrive at a unique circuit such as this because you want to see if you've taken the right direction with the car's aerodynamics. But this morning's session showed us that the engineers had made a very accurate assessment of what would be needed.

"KERS certainly helps around here - we can expect it to be worth nearly four tenths in qualifying tomorrow – but we also made some good progress with our overall package.

"This afternoon was spent on heavier fuel loads, so you can't read too much into the times, but I'm encouraged by where we are."

McLaren, Ferrari and Renault are the only three teams using KERS this weekend,

Hamilton's team-mate Heikki Kovalainen was also encouraged by his team's showing, the Finn claiming McLaren is in better form than expected.

"At Monza, you're always facing the problem of balancing overall downforce with grip through the corners – and I think today was possibly better than we anticipated," he said. "We're quicker in the corners than we were last year, which is good.

"The KERS advantage here is nearly four tenths per lap so it's really helpful along the straights and out of the slower corners. Others have more downforce compared with us, but we have this fantastic KERS from Mercedes-Benz.

"It's funny: the teams have all adopted different technical solutions but the laptimes are still very close together – that's the beauty of Formula 1."
