Well done Vettell. Another one in the bag.

Well done Lewis too, although bit diappointed he kept coming off in the same place. And made Kimi look a bit amateur.

And keep knocking those points in Button.

Good mature drive by Button, clearly the Red Bull is the car to have for wet days, so a nice mature drive, with only one tiny over run on a corner. Great stuff :

Lewis - good skill - but nil points for temperament. Should have placed higher.

Buemi - great drive!

Sutil - Greater drive

Alonso - must be dissappointed after being 2nd slot on the grid to come 9th, not his best day

Piquet - shit, needs dropping

Kovi - nice and steady, hopefully a confidence booster

Ferarris - shit and slow

As you know Chip my event mechanic works for the Red bull team & on a bonus for wins/points so hes happy. He told me once the dispute over the Brawn defuser had been sorted they would be the fastest car out there & it looks like he aint far wrong. They have massive improvements to come so looking good at the mo.

I believe that the ballpark weight for KERS is about 35kg, and most F1 cars run about 60kg of ballast anyway to make them heavy enough to enter, so I cant see that it will increase the weight the way that you are saying?
