The weights are quite interesting.
Alonso went light - as expected - but gained nothing. That's because Glock and Kimi aren't as heavy as usual. The Red Bulls have three or four laps on Brawn, so it really is looking like their race.

That is an impressive performance from Vettel. Kazuki is very light, but at least he hit Q3. Nico is looking quite useful.
Williams and proud of it.

I believe if both drivers have a clean race, 6 to 8 points are within our reach.

...per driver?!
But seriously knowing what is surrounding us and the loads, we need to make sure a good start is made off the line.
Very interesting take that Williams have gone with a lightish Naka- our home race?? But their plan from Friday onwards was different than their usual, didn't go light on Friday etc.
Anyone have any ideas why they have taken a different approach?

Well, you won't gamble on a short first stint when you have only one driver in Q3 as we usually do and last time Naka was in Q3 he didn't have any option tyres left so we had no option but to fuel him heavy.
Of course, this is purely my speculation...
You are too late, we are EVERYWHERE!

I think because Umbrella Girl stopped by the garage and told them not to do it again.

lol, surely I like to see them score podiums each one, but I meant Nico and Kazuki can score 6 to 8 points as whole.

Looks promising with the weights esp Rosberg and the cars look well planted to the track.
I hope I can winess a podium for Williams tomorrow they have both cars in the mix so anything is possible - this is what we need to see every race.
