Is it this race when Hamilton throws away the title or the next one?

Too soon to throw it away, worst case is 3 points behind Massa.

Bugger that for a game of soldiers!

Even allowing for all the pre-race bollocks, it still means getting up at something past 5!

Sky+ is most assuredly the way forwards, and then watch it as soon as I get up to minimise any chance of seeing the result.

Getting up ? I won't have gone to bed by the time it starts.

Might watch it when I get in from my night shift.

3. KOVALAINEN McLaren
4. ALONSO Renault
5. MASSA Ferrari
6. KUBICA BMW
7. TRULLI Toyota
8. GLOCK Toyota
9. VETTEL Toro Rosso
10. BOURDAIS Toro Rosso
11. COULTHARD Red Bull
12. PIQUET Renault

Well done Torro Rosso.

Button out-qualified by his team-mate again.

Looks like Hamilton has the championship in the bag provided he doesn't make the same mistakes as last year.

Would have liked to see Massa qualify higher up.
