i am, well there is nothing to watch except them sitting in the grids, waiting for the rain to stop!

Brings back memory's from last year at Germany, where it was un-drivable.

Yet, race stopped Button wins!

I think there is a problem with KERs in wet weather!

What is KERs? I missed the first GP, and haven't heard of it before, so I assume it's a new type of technology, along with the diffusers?

Good decision to stop the race.

It's a system that gives the drivers a temporary power boost (about 60kw for 6seconds).

Handy for the straight lines, but at the expense of weight for ballast.

McLaren do get their first point of the season with Hamilton finishing 7th.

After a slow start, Button did well to get back to win the race, good stints in all conditions with good pitstop work from the Brawn boys

I thought it was a shame the race was called to a halt. I think Button for sure would have won outright!

I suppose it's all relative....

I'm awaiting the news that Hamilton got DQed for doing something stupid like speeding on the track.

No joke - if anyone could get a penalty for something like that, he would be your man indeed!

Tomorrow is D-Day in terms of the diffuser controversy.

They better not penalise them, be stupid.

What would happen to other races, would Hamilton be re-instated as Aussie winner as if the cars were illegal, then Trulli should never have been on the track to cause the incident.

But please no more stupid decisions.

I hope and believe the rulings made this far are left standing.

Good to see the Court of Appeal was sensible and upheld the FIA's rulings, I'm not sure how Ferrari planned to persuade the judges the diffusers were against regulations by calling Ross Brawn supremely arrogant - what has that got to do with the shape of his diffuser?
