I loved the track, it was amazing to watch first F1 on sunset, than in twilight and in the end in the dark. Terrific, can't wait for the race!

something tells me Macca are gonna do well this weekend-the stop starty nature suits them to a tee.
Lewis for a win, Button for second with no pressure, Kimi or Vettel for third.
I said Macca will do well, I mean Lewis will do well, and Heikki most probably considerably average.
hopefully, a good race is in store.
free beer is a worthy trade off :up:Quote:

great driving by Lewis. surprise of the day were the red bulls for me, i thought they were gonna struggle to get higher than about 4th but 2nd and 3rd good for them (could be just low fuel-we will find that out eventually)
looking foward to hopefully a good race tommorrow
great qualy, still waiting to hear what happened to kovy,
i think Raikkonen is sticking it to Ferrari TBH in front of that mega Ferrari World center thing. Alonso on the other hand has already checked out.
RBR's look good, albeit .500 seconds off Mclaren's pace. This is a great Kers track, no doubt, but remember that the car is still like 60pounds heavier.
not sure what to make of trulli's pace and the enigma of Toyota. As I've said all along, the weakest part of Toyota has always been their drivers. I've always believed that with better drivers they would have won some races and been close in the championships. If they spent some money on drivers instead of their huge redundant staff, who knows how 2009 might have turned out.
Brawns look solid, Rubens once again gets the better of his teammate.
Race should be good tomorrow, although I predict a first corner incident.
BTW, i think the pit exit is fantastic, no problems or complains all weekend from the drivers.
It really is going to take something special for anyone to beat Lewis Hamilton tomorrow. I think it will be an interesting fight between the Red Bulls and Brawns for second place, Barrichello will need Button between himself and Vettel to secure second place in the World Championship.
Great looking circuit. That huge, bulbous hotel building reminds of the Bullring in Birmingham.
Looks like a great facility, track layout isn't up to much but I didn't expect it to be.
Hamilton will walk away with this tomorrow, reckon Button might just get onto the podium. Kovalainen should've been on the front row too but his gearbox failed and he gets a five-place penalty.. not a great way to start your last McLaren race :s
