Jenson Button drove superbly and made a very important overtake in the first corner. He totally deserved the win. Vettel was held up by Trulli who was on the medium tyre compound in the middle stint. Both of them drove well, but couldn't match Button and the strategy of Brawn.

Hamilton was mind blowing off the line, he overtook so many cars. I think the McLaren KERS is the best in F1. Barrichello should have been on the podium.

Räikkönen must feel some satisfaction....

This is the first front row ever for Toyota and the veteran one lap specialist takes the pole. Now they just need to win, the pressure from Tokyo must be incredible.

Vettel is keeping up his form and Button is up there too. Hamilton is making the most out of the new developments for his MP4-24 and Barrichello had understeer out of the last corner. Alonso didn't showboat with a super-low fuel load, hopefully he can fully utilise his KERS off the line, Hamilton must be thinking this...
