3 engine changes for Ferriar eh..............well and I thought they get their act back together

oh well, now that they suck that hard maybe they will be hard pressed to imporve......

Rosberg has again acheived more than could have been expected. His second grand prix...first time at this circuit and he bets the Master Schumi and gets 3rd position. The Williams and Rosberg are actualy looking like championship contenders figures crossed!!

I am sure that this will be an awesome race with Kimi in sixth and Alonso seventh with Michael about 7 places behind. Or it could be Button's first win.

Rosberg was splendid. He was super articulate in the press conference unlike the mumbling Fisi

. It'll be nice if he can finish on the podium tomorrow.

I am glad to see a smile back on Frank Williams face. For such a competitive man used to winning championships, it must have been really painful being in the mid-pack. Now FW needs to do the one thing he has always lacked - retain the talent - being tightfisted, he has found young chargers but they have left him for better opportunities elsewhere.

The prospect of rain is good - it will make things more exciting for sure....

starting grid, from F1-live

Too bad Massa sucks balls from the back like last race.

Thats why I want Rubens back on the team. He would have been in top 8 by lap 10.

What did I tell you all before the season started - Williams are this seasons dark horse

Gonna be a great race tomorrow. I think the McLarens are carrying a lot more fuel. Fisi thought that Alonso had a bad run rather than running heavy but that could all be an act of innocence.

Gonna make a brave prediction of:

1. Kimi
2. Button
3. Rosberg

Hope you know that the reason he didnt qualify so well is because he got a 10 grid spot penalty for an engine change and he did just enough to make it into Qlf session 2 but didnt really put a fast lap to get into the top 10 qualifying - he wanted to save his engine and tires for the race as he was going to get docked 10 spots anyway.

I know I know, he got a 20 place penalty, but I still think the guy wont even make it into the top 10.

One more engine change and they will make him start from Italy.

even with starting in italy, when the light goes green he will be 10 car lengths in front of Super Aguri!!!
