Indeed he did - it was the same day MM debuted the 2009 car. As much as people hate MM, Dennis did a great deal for the sport!

I'm thinking more or less that same order. Until the other teams get the new rear diffusers in place and the balance of their cars sorted out it will remain that way, Niko has impressed me this year.

OMG, just saw those pics a few pages back, freaking hilarious! Agreed, should be a great race this week, although I think it may take MM and Ferrari a couple of races to catch up on the diffuser adjustments

Is it just me or does it seem that Fantasy F1 should change their group of "A Class" Drivers! lol The first driver in A class is Hieki and he's in 9th in 2nd practice.

The tire situation looks horrible again this weekend. The supersoft is ripping to pieces after just a few laps. If any of you DVR'd second practice look at Massa's onboard with around 8min to go. Horrible... Red cars will be lucky to score any points this weekend.

Yeah, the SS's are only lasting a hand full of laps, it will be interesting to see where teams will be using them.

The Redbull team looks very strong indeed, mixing it up with the diffuser group. However they and Alonso ran considerably lighter than the rest so it is still advantage Brawn GP if the opening laps go their way. Kimi and Lewis did a pretty good job with their crappy cars considering their fuel loads.

01. Vettel 644.0kg
02. Alonso 637.0kg
03. Webber 646.5kg
04. Barrichello 661.0kg

06. Trulli 664.5kg
07. Rosberg 650.5kg
08. Raikkonen 673.5kg
09. Hamilton 679.0kg
10. Buemi 673.0kg

11. Heidfeld 679.0kg
12. Kovalainen 697.0kg

Rain races rule.

Vettel... wow. Too bad about Sutil, would have been nice for him to get some points...

2 RBR-Renault 19.5
3 Toyota 18.5
4 McLaren-Mercedes 8
5 BMW Sauber 4
6 Renault 4
7 STR-Ferrari 4
8 Williams-Toyota 3.5

Few things make me happier than that.

Great to see Vettel win again. That guy is going to be a serious force in this sport.
I don't know what happened to Kimi after his stop, I think he stuck in traffic and just couldn't make his way through. My red cars are still yet to score a single point. Luckily I don't have to wait long until the next race.
