Dembo, you not tempted to change the title of the thread to

F1.. Abu Dhabi Doo
That would be silly.

Weights:

1 . R. Kubica - BMW Sauber F1.09 - 654.5
2 . R. Barrichello - Brawn Mercedes BGP 001 - 655.0
3 . J. Button - Brawn Mercedes BGP 001 - 657.0
4 . L. Hamilton - McLaren Mercedes MP4-24 - 658.5
5 . M. Webber - Red Bull Renault RB5 - 660.0
6 . J. Trulli - Toyota TF109 - 661.0
7 . S. Buemi - Toro Rosso Ferrari STR4 - 661.5
8 . S. Vettel - Red Bull Renault RB5 - 663.0
9 . N. Heidfeld - BMW Sauber F1.09 - 664.0
10 . N. Rosberg - Williams Toyota FW31 - 665.0

Hamilton was 1/2 a second ahead, so must be kicking himself that he didn't put more fuel in.

I predict a Hamilton win from start to finish!

re: Jenson going to McLaren.... I can't see it happening.

As per the pundits...

Mercedes will invest heavily in Brawn. Watch for a rename sometime in the next 12-18 months. "Brawn Mercedes"
Brawn will have sufficient funds to pay Jenson.

Jenson will know he will be No 2 driver if he goes to McLaren.
And getting a new team gelling will take time.

Brawn have already "downsized" - the other teams have still to go through this process.

I'm not sure what to make of the circuit. The barriers are mostly quite close to the track, so I think it looks a lot like Valencia rather than one of the other new tracks with huge run offs.
Bit tricky to get to for a trackday too Dave

Just noticed EJ is only presenter not wearing a poppy.

OK he is Irish... but it must have been an interesting discussion.

Jake had a Car Limits logo on his helmet, so it's quite likely...
