we haven't seen Button's true pace as he was held up by people for most of the race after his dismal start. he overtook Montoya two times and gave Kimi a hard time near the end, so the pace is definitely there..

as for Barrichello, he struggled with a gearbox problem.

I think he crashed out early. As for the race: I think it was a great season opener--with plenty to look forward to next week. Speaking of next week, who is going to watch the 12 Hours of Sebring?

ITV is rebroadcasting qualifying at 13h30 GMT if i'm not mistaking.

M. Schumacher gets bumped down 10 sports for changing of engine

looks like a very interesting grid, should provide an entertaining race

thing is, i've looked at some f1 forums and there's an huge mess on the actual starting grid order given there's 5 drivers penalised for engine changes. FIA themselves have announced the starting grid order will only be known tomorrow

the 5 drivers are: both Schumachers, Massa, Coulthard and Barrichello

Rosberg is impressive so far. He will teach Button a -how-to-make-a-good-beginning-at-a-race- lesson tomorrow.

GO! Rosberg
