only 5 hours 'til i must wake for the exciting FP3 in Suzuka.  Amazing what an addiction to hi-speed aerodynamics will do for a normally healthy? boy.  (or maybe i'll pass and just watch qualy.)

why couldn't i be addicted to sex, or shopping, or the sweet funky music of power train analysis?

So, Rubens or Jenson?

Jenson seems a lock barring screwups, which do happen (HAM 07).  For Suzuka i'm thinking Vettel balls out, but everything depends on wet or dry.  McLaren have new bargeboards and a path generator inboard of the brakes, which if it works will negate their downforce deficiency to some degree, so... HAM will contend.

But a wet qualy will be wide open.

Hah!  Results:

Vettel P1, HAM P3, Kovi binned in Degner but P9, both Brawns BAR & BUT likely 5 place penalty for not lifting under yellow, but Rubens out-quali's Jenson.  GLO broken leg Q2?  Alonso threw his toys out of the pram, again.  3 red flags in Quali, season record.  HEI P6 and RAI P8 fueled heavy?  Force India surprise P4.

VET and HAM on the clean side, but HAM has KERS.  Truli light on the dirty side, for the Toyo home crowd.  High downforce track rules, but some must lift at 190R.

capish?

Yep 5 drivers back for not lifting

BBC SPORT | Motorsport | Formula 1 | Button demoted as Vettel shines

Button, team-mate and title rival Rubens Barrichello, Adrian Sutil, Sebastien Buemi, Fernando Alonso and Vitantonio Liuzzi were all penalised.

It does seem so, indeed. Now if they'd somehow blocked the sunlight at that curve.
