Well, an okay grid. I dont see it producing much overtaking.
Hamiltons mix of mechanical grip and straight line speed did him well, the Redbulls have the best all round package with Brawn just behind. Its going to be a procession.
Unlucky for Jenson, brake problem, hope he can have a good race and a podium.

eh if the championship was alive and close that would be a good grid. but its not so you want a messed up grid.
If i was Todt once the championship had been decided I’d go with the reverse grid option.

Ha ha!!
It seems Keith already knew about Jenson signing for the Mclaren team before everyone did. Amazing piece of clairvoyance. Now, where else did you make typos this year Keith.
Since, your typos seem to decide drivers’ futures, I really hope you write, Robert Kubica, Red Bull Renault.
