lol Wouldn't it be amazing if Sutil won?

And isn't his seat on the line according to some rumors?

I didn't think it was... I thought he has been performing ok but maybe inconsistent.

Well done to both Webber and Sutil on their performances today.

But I am a bit gutted with Nico and Kazuki doing poorly in the wet again. I just hope they can fight their way to the points tomorrow.

Go Piquet!

Whats the chances he stalls on the grid tomorrow?

Good to See Lewis is faster than the Brawns fuel corrected hes 3rd

Wow - that was a stressful, but exciting, qualifying session to watch lol.

I'm glad Webber finally got pole - I hope he can go on to win the race. His fuel load will give him a good start! Bit gutted that Vettel's only 4th - and he's got Hamilton, who'll be all KERSed up, next to him on the grid... but he's got a good load of fuel, so that's promising
AWESOME job by Sutil - I so hope he can get some points for Force India tomorrow! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm hoping the race tomorrow is going to be as exciting as qualifying

Glock demoted for impeding Alonso. Not that it makes any difference to either of them.

Well, Sutil has a contract for next year with an option on it, whilst Fisi has a solid contract for next year. There's been talks about Luzzi (who was susppose to have drive this year actually) So I take it, there's a bit of a could over Sutil.

The "Sutil to McLaren" rumours will probably be hotting up next.

Interesting to see that Sutil is heavier than quite a few people in the top ten. Also, he's heavier than both Ferraris, which is good news. He really could get some points tomorrow

I get the feeling that, unless Vettel ends up in traffic (which would ruin his race) this will be a Red Bull 1-2. Of course, Brawn GP still have a chance to win this. If Barrichello can jump Webber at the start then he might be able to pull away, but that would depend on temperatures as there would have to be a very specific window for the tactic to work. In dirty air, the Red Bull is quite rubbish.

That being said, I'm not sure if I want Barrichello to get ahead of Webber - it's so hard! On one hand, I want Rubens to start winning again and challenge for the championship, but on the other hand I want Webber to get his first win. So, so hard >.<

Edit: I've only just noticed that Button will actually be the first driver to pit, followed by Barrichello. That's got to be a first this season, surely?

I think so, if by that you mean the Brawns are the lightest cars of all on the grid? If you are talking about RB and JB relative to each other, i'm not sure.

If it's dry, Brawn could theoretically make a 3-stop work for them. I just can't see it being completely dry though.

I'm talking about Brawn being the first team in.

Yeah, even last time out i think it was Nakajima and Raikkonen who were fuelled lighter than them, most races they have been heavier than the other main contenders (ie the RB's and in Monaco, the Ferrari's) if i remember correctly.

If Lewis can KERS Button and Vettel at the start he would be looking very good for a podium!
