The grid was moved up by 2 places in parts because the Toyotas were using a rear wing that was too flexible.

I quite nervous too. I just fear something stupid is going to happen to the Brawns...
I panicked momentarily when Ross mentioned they hadn't really practiced pit-stops or starts. I just have this image of the crew coming out when a car comes in and going "What do we do here?".
Well Vettel would have gone quicker to the grid if he'd pushed.
Horrible start by Barrichello - guess we'll see how easy it is to pass.

I'm liking this new info. Great move by Rosberg on Massa. Rubens is just barging his way through tho'. Fast and bulletproof, these Brawns.

Live timing has been available for a few years. I just keep forgetting about it.
Rubens is pushing his luck...
It's great!!
Damn Barrichello had a **** start and hit Webber!
Webber got squeezed into Rubens.
yeah i just saw him nudge a Red Bull car and though it was Webber but it was Vettel. what has happened to Webber is he out?
Webber is 19th (Last). He's obviously carrying damage. Not as much as Nakajima though...
Yay, changed the nose on Rubens car. Good job Brawn.
What a screw-up with the safety car.
First they take far to long to deploy the safety car, and then they pick-up Vettel rather than Button so it was 2-3 laps after the incident until Button was picked-up.
And still they stay out, why?

Yeah. I'm all nervous again...
What's going on with the safety car? The track's been cleared for about 3 laps.
One of the interesting things here is the speed of the Brawn from cold. They must be generating a large amount of grip very quickly.
It seems the race is gong to be settled on the super-softs. I suspect that Jense has a a shorter time on them tho', with his longer first stint.
