Glock continues to lead from Trulli

One common comment so far is that it seems as though the Brawn cars are dancing on the razor's edge of reliability; that will be something to watch throughout the race :shock:

Things have settled a bit. It is all about looking after the tyres at this stage

Indeed mlitte, the Brawns are apparently dropping their revs due to the high temperatures

True; they've been commenting on that on the Speed broadcast....they also mentioned that Bridgestone engineers will be checking the tires also to see what the wear patterns are and how they're changing throughout the race

Different teams, different strategies......quoting the Yahoo/Eurosport feed:
Button has been told to keep the engine revs down to save it; Vettel meanwhile is told to save his tyres.
