Vettel in second ahead of Barrichello, Massa, Webber, Glock, Trulli, Alonso, Rosberg and Kubica.
Button started his last lap with just 2 seconds to spare before the chequered flag!

Fuel, fuel, fuel..........???????..........................this is not doing my ulcer any good at all  I have a feeling the Brawns are running light, as in on fumesMassa........Ed, are you sure he is on fumes?
The RBulls seem to be on their optimum fuel loads for balance, 65 to 66 kg,
did Webbo get a clear run or did a black cat choose to walk across the track in front of him

I must say that of all the teams, it seems that Ferrari have made a step forward with their cars but they still have major problems with their strategies as for the second time this season, one of their drivers is knocked out in qualifying just because they thought the time would be enough!!!
Reading Webber's remarks post qualifying, he was clearly not happy with his lap. He did a superb job in Q2 though 
Fuel loads follow

So Alonso is lightest then Button then Glock, all very close and I suspect they may all pit on the same lap.
Barrichello is next and then the 2 Red Bulls with both having the same weight!
I think that Massa is in a great position as long as his car lasts!
Should be a good race

Hambone is obviously hoping for a long run with no safety Car intervention. It will be interesting to see who starts on what rubber...............and tie that with fuel loads.

Jenson Button starts on Pole with Sebastian Vettel next to him.
Rubens Barrichello is in 3rd with Felipe Massa next to him.
Mark Webber is in 5th with Timo Glock next to him.
Of the top 6, Button is the lightest followed by Glock then Barrichello then the 2 Red Bulls then Massa. Massa's car is 9 kg heavier than Button's, that equates to 3 to 4 laps of fuel.

Felipa Massa is also equipped with KERS, the only driver to have KERS in the top 10.
This circuit is a difficult circuit to overtake and historically the pole winner also wins the race!
That may change this year
