Exciting race, dirty air, rain, what other factors aregoing to come into play I wonder?

I can't get live timing today, which is a tad upsetting. :cry:

Kubica and Vettel pit.

Kubica has a refuelling problem and loses some time and loses a place to Vettel and another place to his teammate Heidfeld!

Hi Ed, it wouldn't be a big problem if the commentary was any good and they didn't have 25 mins of adverts! :bang:
