Qualifying

[cavallino 2]

Rain came in midway, just before schumis lap

NK set a good lap earlier. Monteiro managed to spin in his out lap, what a tool

GF was lucky, set a good lap just as the rain came. the drivers after schumi could barely finish their laps.

Fizzy can win this one

Good chance for Button to put in a strong podium performance and possibly a WIN.

My PPP picks: 14th, 16th, and 20th.

[ykickamoocow 0]

Im very happy with DC's lap. And for the Button fans, if Button is going to win a race then it will be this one. Most of his competitors are at the back of the grid.

Meh, Sato has a small chance even.

I feel sorry for the last 5 drivers but the rain has made what is sure to be a great race. GO RED BULL

gr8 monterio certainly has earned a williams drive by spinning in his warm up lap when perhaps track conditions were best compared to later half of the sessionNARAIN 11TH!!!1

Sato does have some chance, this will be buttons best shot at a win, he better take advantage of it.

Hes had the race handed to him. If he doesnt win this race (assuming he doesnt have engine problems) then he wont win a race.

[cavallino 2]

He's got Fizzy sitting right behind him.

Fisichella has had a poor season and he has often been quite slow. And as for Ralf Schumacher, the BAR is quicker than the Toyota. Button has all the odds stacked in his favor so he should win (that is if hes as good as Button supporters claim he is).

By the end of the first corner, Fisi will have Button sniffing his fumes...... We have seen that a few times here Fisi has used the Renault's power off the line to beat BIG GUNS like Kimi as well.

If it rains tommorow, Sato will be ahead of Button..... we have seen that happen in SPA

Hi Monty, wellcome back Where have you been?

This is Fisichella

indeed, just like Melbourne. Well I'm one happy boy today. Yeah I know a massive bit of luck played into JV getting P8, but that's the name of the game, so I've got a smile on my face. Big gap to Massa, and there is no mention of them being on differing strategies, so that must have been one mega lap from Jacques, suffering badly from oversteer he compared to a 'rally car' considering how sideways he was at times.

Mighty bad luck for the last 5 and this really jumbles up not only the grid, but stuffs up just about everyone's PPP picks, for pole at least. I think this is Button's best chance to win. He's been there or thereabouts all weekend and with the top 3 contenders all up the back, he has his best chance of a win, or be on the podium at very least. It's going to be very very interesting either way!

Fisi is buttons only real trouble, ralf is on fumes! But this could be a very good day tomoz for button! I predict fisi will win though! But what a way to celebrate a BAR-Honda century with a win, and buttons century with a win! It wont happen though!

Fisi has no excuses, if he cant win in these conditions it just shows how crap he has now become!

ralf is not on fumes it is jst that it started raining heavily when fisico was doing his 2nd sector!!!!

[Jenson_Rules 0]

i read somwhere that he is on fumes as he knew he wud be further down the grid!

in the post race pressconference he said that he is not light on fuel

It's time for Jenson to show us all what he's got and how much he can push to the limits of his driving ability!

He doesn't have the personality or the overriding will to become a champion, It seems to me, I hope he proves me wrong.

[Jenson_Rules 0]

Jenson has fisi there, but i think he can see he has a very good chance with the mclarens soo far back and he seems to think BAR are close to the renaults! If fisi runs into any trouble, button will be there! he has a great chance of a (im not saying what it is) so long as fisi isnt pushing majorly hard! At least between the top 3 and the back drivers theres slow, and medium-fast cars infront, they will have a hard time!

Kr will win the race barring any unforeseen circumstances.mclaren is fast enough to lap all the cars excepting renault and renaults and montoya are alongside with him on the grid.

[Jenson_Rules 0]

No i hope none of you slag off JB tomoz if he com es 2nd and fisi first, the superior car won! But if by some miracle JB does beat fisi to the (im not sayiing the word) then he deserves praise!

After a decade of good lucks to Scumi, the God finally open his eyes.
