Kubica claims 2nd place.

Hamilton 1st, Kovalainen 3rd.

Raikkonen 16th due to not setting a time in Session 2.

Alonso 12th.

Should be a good race.

Poor old Timo Glock has been docked another 5 places and is now starting 19th after being pinged for impeding another driver.

The BMW has definitely sprung some interesting wings. It doesn't look as ugly as the "warthog" of a few years ago, but it's getting close. A bit like an x-wing fighter on steroids.

Go Ferrari! I am so looking forward to racing without traction control!
