All the cars have 1 final flyer!

Hamilton starts his flyer. Massa may already have Pole as his is 3 tenths ahead.

So the grid is: Raikkonen, Alonso, Massa, Kubica, Hamilton, Kovalainen, Webber, Trulli, Heidfeld and Piquet.

Alonso very nearly had pole, Raikkonen under a tenth ahead.

This is an amazing bounce back from Renault and Alonso. The question is though, how much fuel does he have ?

Trying to read into what Alonso said in the press conference. It appears that he is light on fuel. Describing his 2nd place as unbelievable then stating that getting second on the grid is nearly is almost like job done.

He may be again trying to downplay his chances as he has always been saying that the improvements won't put them on par with the top 3 teams.

Lets hope for a clean start tomorrow and a good and clean race.
