seem like the top 10 positions' weights are only displayed in 0.5 kg increments... it could just be a matter of them rounding up for Webber to get to 661 and them rounding down for Vettle to get to 661.

whereas after P10 the weights are declared to an ccuracy of 0.1kg

just something I've noticed... may not be accurate

Pos Driver Weight (kg)
1. Webber Red Bull-Renault 661.0
2. Barrichello Brawn-Mercedes 647.0
3. Button Brawn-Mercedes 644.0
4. Vettel Red Bull-Renault 661.0
5. Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes 654.5
6. Kovalainen McLaren-Mercedes 664.0
7. Sutil Force India-Mercedes 678.5
8. Massa Ferrari 673.5
9. Raikkonen Ferrari 674.0
10. Piquet Renault 676.0
11. Heidfeld BMW-Sauber 681.0*
12. Alonso Renault 668.2*
13. Nakajima Williams-Toyota 683.6*
14. Trulli Toyota 683.7*
15. Rosberg Williams-Toyota 689.6*
16. Kubica BMW-Sauber 673.5*
17. Buemi Toro Rosso-Ferrari 674.5*
18. Fisichella Force India-Mercedes 662.5*
19. Glock Toyota 662.3*
20. Bourdais Toro Rosso-Ferrari 689.5*

* declared weight

I rather think they declare the weight they have put into the car for Q3 because that is all they know. RBR have fueled both drivers identical for some time. Webber had 1 or 2 more laps. So Sebastian is now slightly heavier.

GP2 was a mostly a wet race thrugh out.

Porsche Supercup is a race that will be more tedious. Gonna be a race where either tyre choice will be wrong between wet and dry.

No, the top-10 cars (and drivers) are weighed after qualifying.

Bad luck for Webbo. A drive through for weaving into Rubens. A debatable punishment.

yeah, it's now a KERS train instead of a "Trulli Train"

Some temp troubles with the Brawn of Button, he still needs to weave down the home straight.

Fernando has the fastest lap by a long way. I think the only, if not one of the few, into the low 33's

There are a LOT of marbles offline. Making it extremely difficult to overtake.
