Who will win in Spain

button_spain

Brawn (Terminator) dominate once again, this time in Spain, Jenson Button clocked the fastest time 1:20.527 beating Sebastian Vettel by 0.133 seconds, that’s faster than a blink on your eye :D

FIA making the car weight public:

  1. Jenson Button, Brawn GP, 646kg
  2. Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull, 651.5
  3. Rubens Barrichello, Brawn GP, 649.5
  4. Felipe Massa, Ferrari, 655
  5. Mark Webber, Red Bull, 651.5
  6. Timo Glock, Toyota, 646.5
  7. Jarno Trulli, Toyota, 655.5
  8. Fernando Alonso, Renault, 645
  9. Nico Rosberg, Williams, 668
  10. Robert Kubica, BMW Sauber, 660
  11. Kazuki Nakajima, Williams, 676.6
  12. Nelson Piquet, Renault, 677.4
  13. Nick Heidfeld, BMW Sauber, 676.3
  14. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, 683
  15. Sebastien Buemi, Toro Rosso, 678
  16. Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari, 673
  17. Sebastien Bourdais, Toro Rosso, 669
  18. Heikki Kovalainen, McLaren, 657
  19. Adrian Sutil, Force India, 675
  20. Giancarlo Fisichella, Force India, 656

Jenson Button was the lightest among the top 5.  Watch out Felipe Massa and his KERS, the KERS is able to produce 80bhp more on during the start, very likely Barrchello will be overtaken in the first corner.

Ferrari shows that their cars have improved but on the other hand, the strategy still did not quite work out.  Can you imagine they make the same mistake twice. 

They thought Kimi’s time was able to bring him to the Q2, they were wrong.  While Jarno Trulli pushing him out of Q2, Kimi Raikonnen was sitting in the garage.  Boooo to Ferrari!!

Renault promise a lot, but they did not make a good progress, look at the Fernando Alonso’s car weight, he is the lightest among the 20 cars, but only managed 8th place, a disappointing one for him.

My prediction for this race, Button will be first, as out of 14 races in the past, 13 of the race winner was on pole (for this circuit), as Button having the best grid, I think he will be able to take his 4th win.

Second Felipe Massa, third Ruben Barrichello. :p
