well, hopefully Kimi can get the KERS jump on Button tomorrow. So sick of watching Jenson drive the fastest car every week.

That being said, Ferrari and Mclaren seem to be getting faster....but that could just be a disguise for the fact that the Cote D'Zur is a real drivers track and they are the best drivers??? we will see.

I didn't want to hear all the complaining (even from Ferrari) at the beginning, but Brawn does have a significant advantage and even worse, I DO NOT believe that Rubens car is set up as well as Buttons. Even in the interview today, Rubens said that he ran a great qualifying and felt he had the upper hand (coming from the most experienced F1 driver of all time) and Jenson said that he was all over the place and the car wasn't quite right and that he had problems etc etc etc.....yet he still ended up on Pole???? starting to wonder a little. Last race is a great example too.

ferrari has stepped it up some, but yes, mostly i think its the track and drivers.

what a weird ass year... i'm hoping but brawn cars crash out, or atleast button's does. RB has always been a good guy.

kimi better not over drive tomorrow and throw it in a wall, this may be his best chance to win all year.
