So much for BAR's engine plan.

Honda shows you can do worse than FERRARI even if their performance sucks through Bridgestone..............................

sorry for Jenson and Anthony..............

Will the Bridgestones performe late in the race?

Lap 6 and Alonso is now nearly 4 seconds ahead of Trulli and Fisichella is only 1.2 seconds behind.

Retriements so far: Button, Davidson and Friesacher

ED - thanks for keeping us up to speed on the race!

Maybe we should get some Vegas or MGs for the Ferraris - even kart tyres would be better than the B'stones.

PS-I get the race with Japanese commentary and I don't speak the language. Please help.
