PMSL @ "the button spot" he was just drilling people into that braking zone in the 1st corner almost as if he had an extra set of brakes fitted to the car somewhere

Rosberg's williams has a handy Cosworth engine in it doesnt it. I heard it from on board camera on down the main straight at the end of the race where he was trying to overtake coulthard and you could hear that he had wound the revs up MUCH higher to overtake on the main straight. They say that Cosworth can get that V8 to rev to 20,000 rpm for qualifying and overtaking in the race.

Schumacher's ferrari is quicker this year but IMO takes ALOT to drive it fast. On Sch's qualifying laps you could see he was adjusting the brake balance and diff settings for every corner and i reckon it was a brake balance adjustment that Massa forgot to make that caused him to spin at the end of the main straight.

Also did anyone see that graphic showing the throttle and brake use in real time for Alonso and Schumacher? The Ferrari has a very smart auto throttle blip on the down change of gears and you could see it on the green throttle useage graphic on screen but the Renault wasnt doing this

All in all a cracking start to F1 this year
