Well, 50 quid's 50 quid when all said and done.

I've had a good look but as I can't remember ever seeing a vid with the helmet he describes I can't go from memory like I usually do.

I just searched some of the vids to see if I could find it but there's too many without a better description of the action taking place in the vid when he saw the helmet.

If he'd given a bit more information it may have been possible.

Who is up for wualifying at 6am then?? for another Brawn Battering.

[DFext37 Fielding]

Great session from Red Bullocks and Renault 1-3 red bull, with Alfonso in the middle of them.

Good tactics from Vettel, going out at the last minute and bagging some great laps.

Ofcourse the Brawn were up there, 4 and 5. only 0.350 from 1st to 5th, great stuff.

Especially as he only did one outing in each session (11 laps in total, with 6 being in & out laps). 

[DFext37 Fielding]

Yep Button thinks they could win.

I am going to get no sleep tonight, Snooker on in 40 minutes for 3 hours, 3 hour sleep then the GP.

A slight difference in fuel weights, according to F1 site.
Vettel - 644 kg, Webber - 646.5, Alonso - 637, Barrichello  - 659, Button - 661.

Vettel did his 1:35 in Q2 and like Alonso did 1:36s in the other two rounds. Barrichello, Button and Webber all did 1:35s in two rounds of qualifying while carrying more fuel.

i had £2 on Sutil getting in the points on Friday at 180-1, all i can say is... ...B*llocks.

£362 would have been handy to work on my PC.

Oh well slightly Yawn race not Brawn. Good result for Red Bull, great win.

Didn't think i would see a RB 1-2 forever, great result by Brawn keeping them honest.

So 2 teams, 2 1st wins.

(Jim Clark documentry on BBC last night, really good - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... _Champion/)

- I find it funny that Flavio Briatore has been running his mouth whining about the Brawn diffusers. Now his company's engines finished 1-2, but not in his cars, and without the questionable diffusers. If it were anyone else I'd think that would shut him up, but not Flav.

- I thought Massa was on the way to a very good finish. He had a lot of fuel and had moved up well when the car quit.  Interesting that while his car lasted, Massa totally outdrove Hamilton in the rain, and that the (British) commentators failed to notice that.

Yes Flav should really be quiet, fortunatly no one really takes him seriously so I doubt Brawn are too worried.

Hamilton was having a great race until he seemed to have an issue with one of his sets of tyres and then was spinning more often than not.  Agree that Massa put in a better performance.

Massa did make less mistakes than Ham, not sure if that's outdriving him. Lewis mentioned that he knackered his tyres - he was on a long stint and he was pushing 120%.
