(Fisichella is in the Renault...)

Too many changes... you're correct. Even though, this wasn't one of the changes.

What do you all feel about Buttons prospects? Sure, I agree that he will probably win a race in the future, but is he all he's made out to be? He does drive smooth and well, but I see him more in the leagues of Fisichella and Montoya, rather than the Shumi/Alonso/Kimi clan.

Hes better than Fisi, no doubt. I cant see him being like Schuey and being able to elevate the car above one far superior

Now, if they'd have fixed the aerodynamic problems, that could have been an all time classic ding-dong between Schumacher and Alonso, but alas still no overtaking in F1...

I think it's right for the FIA to be penalising people for overtaking in the race. We all know that overtaking by pit stop strategy is more exciting.

Nice to see Montoya qualifying 5th with such a gargantuan level of fuel on board. Pity that he could only finish 5th, whilst Kimi went from 22nd -> 3rd.

You could argue that he only stopped once, so saved some time that way, but Montoya's car was lighter, and Kimi was stuck behind JV for quite some time.

how about that Rosberg....this guy is going to be quite big, bounced back from a rookie mistake and went on to be one of the fastest guy throughout the race(fastest lap to be sure) and passed like 2 cars and made up like 15 secs in last 10 laps....

I agree with your placement of the drivers but I'd place Fisichella a cut below Button and Montoya. Fisi qualifies well but somehow it rarely results to his advantage. Maybe its bad luck or nerves, Fisichella is entirely capable but he's got to get a coach or something. I see button as a little dependent on the mistakes or misfortune of the front runners to podium. Whereas Webber is overly aggressive, Button doesn't push hard enough.
