Of course we don't know the fuel loads!
If they are similar, then we will have a really close battle between those 4!
Button looked good to compete with those 4 but his mistake in qualifying will see him start in 13th and pretty much out of contention for a podium!
Sir Frank might review his options

The track was wet this morning during the GP2 race but it is now dry. However it will be tricky for the first few laps!
