Its going to be a long day for Kaz but Nico looks good. He needed to be heavier than the KERs cars as he was going to be behind them anyway.

Good strategy for Nico there, We have a chance of beating Kimi and Redbulls around here which is good really.

I'm happy for Rubens as well, he's showing some real pace to JB and hopefully his career won't be over after this season.

If there are no mess ups on the pit wall tomorrow then we are potentially in for a good result

As the fuel consumption of the FW31 seems to be higher than others I think Nico will pit one lap earlier than he's supposed to do

agreed. The starting strategy makes perfect sense VS KERS. Get them later on in the race- we were never going to get two rows in front of Kimi and the Imperial stormtroopers.

Good to see Rubens do the business too. Not bad for an old man.

Well Well- It may not be a walk in the park for the Empire. the bbc website has Barrichello on a fuel-corrected pole.

Not great for Nico, considering this track "suits out car" but lets wait for
a) the race and
b) the other races


1 Rubens Barrichello lap 19
2 Heikki Kovalainen +0.216secs (lap 16)
3 Lewis Hamilton +0.249 (lap 15)
4 Jenson Button +0.291 (lap 18)
5 Sebastian Vettel +0.507 (lap 16)
6 Nico Rosberg +0.540 (lap 20)
7 Mark Webber +0.610 (lap 20)
8 Kimi Raikkonen +0.614 (lap 18)
9 Fernando Alonso +0.871 (lap 17)
10 Robert Kubica +1.114 (lap 17)
