Looking good for Button since he opted for the hard tyres.Shame he didn’t get his last laps alright, he could have been 3rd maybe.

Red Bull should make Kubica a present. I thought he wouldn’t make it into Q3, never mind separating the Red Bulls and the rest… Button’s tyre experiment might be interesting.
I’m off to bed to get at least a bit of sleep!

Webber’s gonna be nervous with Alonso on his back.

If the race result resembles the starting grid then I’m afraid its curtains for Mclaren in this championship :( A Red Bull 1-2 would put them in a very strong position for the WCC, with Massa down the field and Mclaren 5th and 8th.
Also talk of Lewis being penalised further for a block on Hulkenberg?

Was Hulkenberg on a fast lap when he caught up with Hamilton or was he about to start a lap?

if there is a safety car after lap 12 or so Button has a pretty good chance of making it on the podium.
