    So who got up for the qualifying this morning then?

    Fantastic performance by Button, Rubens and Brawn GP.

    I wouldn't rule out Vettel tomorrow, and I thik the Ferraris are worth watching - they have proven steady race pace during winter practice and I think they will be running heavy.

    As for Lewis It's a shame his car broke....would have been interesting to see if he had the "raw" ability to pull his car through to Q3. Guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow for him to prove if he realy is a worth WDC!

    (Mods - If this thread is popular, could be worth making it a sticky, and it can just be posted during the whole season...all 17 fantastic races!!)

    Let's see how it progresses, i know i'm interested in it, may move it to the motorsport section or even a dedicated forum for other types of motorsport other than MINI's

    Edit: Created the forum

    We were up to watch qualifying.

    Most exciting qualifying for a long time.

    Promises to be an exciting season.

    Lewis didn't look a happy chap did he. McLaren seem to be struggling at the moment.

    Anyone awake for the race then?

    After seeing the fuel loads I really can't see anything other than a Brawn GP win, but reliability could be a problem.

    Predictions:

    1. Button
    2. Vettel
    3. Massa
