Pre-race car weights. Of the top 10 Vettel is lightest, Nakajima is heaviest

Most of those from 11th onward appear to be on a single stop.

Hamilton starts from last due to an unscheduled gearbox change as a result of his accident in the 1st qualifying session.

2. Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari, 644
3. Rubens Barrichello, Brawn GP, 648

5. Felipe Massa, Ferrari, 643.5
6. Nico Rosberg, Williams, 642
