I like to believe McLaren has taken a big step forward, Ferrari a little one and BMW have remained stationary. But there is the destinct possibility McLaren have taken a small step, Ferrari have remained stationary and BMW is imploding!

See you later Ed.

1st Qualifying session starting shortly.

It is partly cloudy, the track is dry but it is very windy

The track temperature is up to 30 degrees while air temperature is at 20 degrees.

There is a chance of rain during qualifying

Session underway and many drivers go out straight away

All the drivers with the exception of Massa are on the track

The reason all the drivers are out so early is due the predicted rain

Nakajima is the first to set a time with a 1:22.272

Hamilton goes fastest but Kovalainen betters that!

Webber 3rd!

Alonso fastest with a 1:20.998!

Hamilton on a second flyer

Hamilton retakes top spot with a 1:20.288

Webber takes second with a 1:20.982
