Heard Button on the radio, he reckons he'll still be happy if he leaves S/stone with a 16 point lead, he has to fail at some point, sods law says it might be his home GP.?

Just watched qualifying.

Vettel has pulled out a storming lap, no doubt.

I still think that the Brawn is a better race car, the fact that it is being too easy on it's tyres is going to help it in the race.

However, I think Rubens has the edge purely because of his attacking style generating those tyres temps when needed.

As much as I want Button to win, I think it's great that he's in sixth, for him and the championship.

And for the race. This will be his first proper test as a racer, and hopefully he'll do well.

Is this the dullest race of the year?

why would anyone want to keep Silverstone in the calendar?

the lack of overtaking opportunities just make the races boring

bigfecker is right - and this was a dreadful advert for F1

Excellent post-race coverage so far. Sensible interviews, even if they do let Eddie Jordan ask the questions.

Quite a good end to race I thought.

Coverage was excellent, particularly the interviews at the end.

Does any else cringe for the first 10 seconds when EJ starts to speak? I really have no idea where his question might go! Good entertainment though

So dull today, majority of coverage on the last 4/5 places had me out the front door right after the chequered flag, seems like I may have missed the best bit.
Still this means the S is fine and shiny.
