    Ross Brawn ver bullish inpost Quali interview, I bet those Brawns are very fat with fuel!
    I bet Christian Horner let out a slight whimper when he realised, Both Brawns for podium potential, that will leave the championship down to Button v’s Rubens.

    Becauase the Red Bull’s are behind Hamilton, do you now expect Buemi to protest Hamilton blocking him at the first chicane?
    And from 14th on the grid, how far up will the KERS power move Fisichella by the chicane?
    Great qualifying session. Really enjoyed that.

      Does Buemi need to protest in order for the stewards to investigate? I don’t think he does.

      But I don’t think Hamilton should get a penalty. He stayed off the racing line. It’s a bit like when he and Raikkonen met on track during qualifying at Interlagos two years (only I think Hamilton pushed it a bit more on that occasion).

    6 Mercedes powered cars in the top 7! Looking good for Mercedes!

      Indeed. And the top 10 contains 6 Mercedes’, 3 Renaults, and only a single Ferrari. Not a Toyota or BMW in sight.

    The stewards have confirmed Hamilton will not get a penalty for the incident with Buemi.

    I’m longing for Button to have a solid race, so I can’t believe he missed out on beating Barrichello by 0.015 seconds.

    Damm right Hamilton Shouldn’t had got a penalty anyway coz its pointless protesing 2 the stewards Hamilton was on the edge of the pit lane and if he wasnt he would have slowed down

    I thought KERS would give the three manuf. the winning edge — didn’t though, did it?
