The qualifying this morning was most entertaining and bespeaks an interesting race tomorrow. Commentary in second post. ---

I’m very disappointed that qualifying wasn’t stopped. The gravel traps weren’t doing their job. Four red flags was too many. They should have put on more loose gravel and investigated the barriers. And Brawn were complete twonks for not sending their drivers out earlier in Q3. ---

If Button manages to lose the championship somehow, I suspect we’ll find him hanging in a closet sometime around Christmas. ---
