with a 7 or 8 minute break between each session.

off we go the greatest race on earth

cum on jenson

hiya Fluffy

Q1 now underway.

oh dear massa goes off

Less than 4 minutes gone and Massa's had an accident already!

Kubica slower than the two Force Indias.

Kubice tries again and beats the Force Indias, but only makes P2

Vettel and Button P1 and P2 respectively. Now Barrachello goes P2

Hamilton has a disaster, session stopped, Hamilton seems to be out, Therefore will be just about last on the starting grid.

Sounds like Hamilton might be lucky enough to miss the drop. And if they can fix his car in time he might be able to take part in Q2. But it seems very unlikely.

2 minutes to go and Hamilton still in the top 15.

Hmilton
Heidfeld
Kubica
Trulli
Glock

are the bottom 5 unless there are drivers with penalties that change the bottom 5.

Fisichella's had 2 times disallowed for cutting the chicane, so is shoved back to P15.

Button struggling to stay in top 10 just now. Makes it though,

Can't remember the order, but the 5 out from Q2 are:-
Fissichella
Buemi
Bourdais
Pique
Sutil

Button
Raikkonen
Massa
Rosberg
Barrachello
Webber
Massa
Kovaleinen
Alonso
Nakajima

Phew, couldn't keep up with the changes. Final list shortly.
