A bit of drama for Coulthard. He spins and his car catches fire. He gets going again but stops shortly and the marshals extinguish the fire quickly!

They are followed by Kovalainen, Fisichella, Kubica and Barrichello?!
Kovi has just set the fastest last sector time and is 4tenths quicker than Fisi if that means anything?
Renault look stronger than BMW today
They said they had given up on 2007 and were concentrating on their 2008 car! Hmmph! The little fibbers.
