Very well done to brawn, but i couldnt believe they kept saying it was a tremendous result for a new team.

Honda gave up very early last year, and they've had a huge headstart on everybody else, with a even more HUGE budget!!!

All brawn gp has done is put it on track.

God its unfairly fast though!!!

This is FORD country, on a quiet day you can hear Vauxhalls rusting.

Just press the red button on BBC1 on freeview and you should see the whole lot (they certainly did for the Friday sessions) but I got up early this time so haven't had to use the red button today :)

Did Hamilton really have a problem? or wasd he saving the engine and tyres as he knew he wouldnt do much better anyway?

Eddie Jordan adds a lot of comedy value to it.

He doesnt seem to like anyone and appears to be making snide remarks everywhere

That is my thinking. The car was only good for 14 or 15 so why bother embarrassing yourself and save some tyres.

I was impressed by redbull and Vettel too. He hardly got any running yesterday and popped it up the front. Mind you Newey cars do have a history of breaking down.

Possibly, but apparently he opted for a gearbox change and lost another 5 places so would have been right at the back except it's just been reported both Toyotas have been relegated to the back for dodgy rear wings...

He still might have taken the gearbox change penalty though even if it wasn't really that bad, just to have a new one at the next race in case they get the aero right by then.

yep glAD TO SEE THE SMALLER TEAMS GET A LOOK IN, yes the brwn virgin car has been under devopment for a long time but still needs track time to get it there so with little testing time compared to everyone else brawn has done a top job, so come on button and rubins lets get a win tomoz.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

Didn't think it would happen, but well chuffed that Brawn has got the front row. Honestly thought the ferraris had something up their sleeve.
Hearing Branson say bastard live on BBC was cool too! lol

Hamilton showed third on the time sheets when the SC came out, how come Trulli overtook?

Being investigated, apparently Trulli went off, came back on and overtook Hamilton, and Hamilton let him under the SC.
