Looks like Rubens has dropped off the pace, making Jenson look very handy indeed. Shame about Rosbergs pit.

Yeah looks like Rubens took a little more damage than just the front wing in the first corner.

A second safty car would just be good luck for Massa and Ferrari...

Also anyone see the really cool graphic from Massa's car, looked even better than the one ITV had for the last few years

that's what I said rubens webber.. yeah, that's the guy..

Sorry, ran out of caffiene somewhere on turn 3.. stupid time for a race..

poosemon · 29 Mar 2009 at 08:07

button and rubens are only going to be spending 8-10 laps on soft tyres, when button pitted they put over 20 laps of fuel in, he pitted out of phase aswell, i think it will hurt vettel more then button as vettel will have to spend longer as he pitted according to his original strategy

Ahhhh ok, they look really good this year (i remember the first time they were using them a fair few years ago).

I think the dusk race track looks absolutally beautiful though!

yeah, the late afternoon lighting is kinda nicer on the eyes than the glare of midday.. still a daft time for a sunday morning though

First Anthony Hamilton, and now John Button. I vote they start up a breakaway series, with all the drivers Dads racing!

Would you rather we had had to get up earlier then?

Given anthony hamilton's driving (remember the porsche in a ditch?) I don't think that would be such a good idea.

Unless they use the brawn bumper cars..

hmmm.... The Brawn Bumper Cars F1 Dads Series!

Lewis and Massa together again

Yeah im not to pleased having to stay up all night for that (its light again) but the really nice reflections off the cars makes up for it all
