Ferrari also have the non-turning wheel shield, as do a few other teams. The central hub on the wheel does not rotate, the wheel rotates around it.

How does the Brawn team get there wheel hub thingy on the front wheel's to stay still as the wheel turn's 

....They stuff a dead cat behind the hub thingy.

Time for my regular stupid question.

Gets ready for incoming p!ss taking. 

Its held in place by tilemetry.... But then you knew that 

[Greeners]

Don't forget chaps, Qualy is on nice and early in the morning! Set your alarm clocks for 06:00am 

[TomB]

If I was working tomorrow I'd wake up early and watch quali in bed, but I've been blessed with a day off so I'll watch it on the iPlayer once I wake from a rare lie in!

If Eddie Jordan sends you to sleep, set your alarms for 7 and miss the talk :)  The race starts at 8 on Sunday, coverage at 7.

What a race yesterday - i really enjoyed it.   

Vettel is an awesome driver and had a well deserved win.

Instead of all these stupid areo reg's they shpuld just wet the track for fun an excitment

[RedRobin]

....

I enjoyed it too. this season is providing much closer and exciting racing.

Vettel is definitely a champion of the future

Vettel did exceptionally well, but I found it to be a boring race!

Once again I got out of bed early to watch this and overall I wasn't dissapointed. Some brave driving from all concerned and as folk have said Vettel is one to watch. Pleased for Jenson too. 

[RedRobin]

^^^^
Yep, I'm well pleased for Jenson too

I think that Lewis Hamilton drove very well and he only didn't finish much higher because he drove so near the limit and lost it a few times.

Quali is so much better this season too.

I know what you mean...  Wet races are better if the conditions are changeble IE getting dryer / wetter.  I think that this adds to the stratagy suspence.

Still a good result for all though, come on Jensen

Lewis was trying so very hard to get up the field. It was unusual to see him slip off so many times. All in all a great race and its good to see both McLaren & Ferrari on the back foot for a change. I reckon the season will be a real fight for points once they get to Europe and the other teams all have their own double defuser. Can't wait.

Yipeeeeee.. F1's interesting again.

Agreed...Quali is excellent this yr.  Even Q1 & Q2 has been fun to watch.  As much as I like Lewis and followed him through the class's I am also happy they are struggling.  By the time they reach Silverstone could be as many as 6 or more drivers going for the win.

Barca could be one hell of GP once all the developments hit.  Williams also have their flywheel kers and sure that will be on show their

Another good showing from Jenson today. Some close racing too particularly during the first half dozen laps. All's Good 
Interesting to see Rubinio getting rattled behind Sutil 

Is it just me or did there seem to be a lack of  atmosphere post race? Must have been the thought of all that Rose water 

[RedRobin]

....

I enjoyed the whole race - The outcome looked settled in the last dozen laps but wasn't guaranteed!

Lewis H did very well I thought and I enjoyed his pre-race interview. I'm feeling sorry for Massa but it's still early days for Ferrari.
