The press conference produced a pretty comprehensive coverage of many questions people had for the FOTA teams and Williams.

It makes very interesting reading in many parts.

Big shunt from Sutil. Ant and DC think it's some kind of brake failure. He's walking after it.

Nakajima is bloody fast in Q2. Button is nowhere.

Funny how everyone was making fun of the Renault nose, and some teams have been flattening and widening their noses now.

Starting behind a pair of 4-wheeled chicanes will be a challenge for Button. Hoping for a good race tomorrow.

Got to wonder how/if the teams have been able to concentrate on racing with all the politics flying around. I know, I know, they are steely-nerved and consummate professionals, but they (most of them) are human.

Great quali session Sutil's crash cost Bourdais a potential Q2 spot but it's not so bad if they can choose a strategy that could pay off if the rain decides to show up.
Vettel was amazing today I felt he'd get pole but Webber was compromised in his final run which potentially lost him 2 tenths and possibly pole Button struggling gave me joy hopefully in the race him and Rubens get a DNF for the sake of competetivness in the championship & am i right in saying Vettel's 1"18.119 is a new circuit record if so these new 2009 cars are really slow huh Max? :P
