I hope Ferrari are light on fuel, and Jenson is heavy cause his usually a second faster than Rubinho!

Both Honda's ARE very light. Both of them scraped into the final 10 and then improved their times by 0.761s (JB) and 0.518s (RB) on race fuel.

Ferrari look light as well. Kimi & MW look like they are in for a long 1st stint.

All the cars have made it to the grid.

The general feeling in the paddock is that Alonso and the 2 McLaren's are heavier than the Ferraris and Hondas. By how much nobody really knows!

Fisichella who is starting from 11th will almost certainly be fuelled up!

Formation lap in 8 minutes

Albers tangled with Ide causing him to flip multiple times! Thanks to the safety measures in Formula 1 these days and he is fine!
