Massa seems to 'own' this track having won the last 3 races here. I think its going to tough for Brawn although they have some new aero parts.

So far its been a bit rainy but that should all be gone by the weekend.

It'll be interesting to see if Toyota fare a little better on this track.

Looks like, reliability issues aside, that the team orders are....

Red Bull
Brawn
Ferrari

I think Massa's history at this track will get him at the front today.
