The race was exhilarating for as long as it lasted. The start was very interesting, Button and Trulli were overtaken by a storming Rosberg and Alonso came charging up from P9. However, Alonso's car is not the best and he turned into a mobile chicane for Barrichello and a lot of other people. Rosberg led at the start from Trulli and Button.

Kovalainen once again retired on the first lap and Robert Kubica's engine sounded sick and he retired too.

The Red Bulls were great...

Q1:
Ferrari really messed up in Q1. Massa and Räikkönen only did 4 laps each and parked the cars thinking they had done enough, but the times tumbled and Räikkönen was lucky he didn't get knocked out too. Piquet had a disappointing session, he's usually faster in the race, but the season isn't starting well for him. Fisichella and Sutil being out is no great surprise, but Buemi was on a fast lap and went off the track.

Knocked out thus far:
P16 Massa - Ferrari
P17...
