Burro On The Pole In Brazil
10/18/2009 2:03 AM
The championship is separated by 14 points with two races left. Rubens is on the pole at his home race and Jensen is starting 14th.
Vettel is 16 point back and starting 15th.
The weather has played a part in each practice and qualifying.
Rubens is 6-8 kilos lighter than the others in the top ten, that means he'll have to come in 2-3 laps early.
This is not one to be missed.

If you missed qualifying there was a lot of rain, red flags and drivers getting caught on the wrong tires as time expired.

Happy for Button and Brawn.  Hate to see the championship backed into, though.

I was impressed. I think Kobayashi may have earned a seat for next year, or at least opened some eyes in the new teams.
He made Liuzzi, Fisichella and Grosjean look pretty bad. First time in a F1 car and he was racy.

I felt bad for Barrichello. I wanted him to win his home race, and have a shot next week. I could not believe the difference between where Rubens and Webber rejoined after their first stops. It was only two additional laps.
Even worse was the puncture that let Hamilton by for third.
