I'm sure it won't last, but I'm surprised to see Lewis up there.

Button's complaining that he can't get any heat in the tyres again.

Good chance of a wet race too.

The rain makes it so much more interesting.

Good result for Mclaren...

Yep, he said that at Goodwood as well, was not promising much for Germany but had better hopes for Hungry and Valencia.

Good performance by Sutil, but I suspect he's fuelled pretty low.

Rain = good race tomorrow. Hopefully.
