Looks like it may be a wet race on Sunday, which will mix things up a bit... till things get fixed by the stewards. :roll:

Wet in Malaysia usually means monsoon conditions.
Bring it on :)

Well, qualifying didn't see any water and it was a good session.

Nice result with Truilli looking especially strong, hopefully making room for a nice close race.

There is going to be a bust up soon between him and DC.

Would like to see him replaced, but doubt that will happen. How great to hear those opening bars of the theme tune again.

I had to switch over at the end as i got fed up listening to him. Hopefully they'll drop him soon!

Trulli looking good. Think it's gonna be a good first season for Braun GP, with Button seeing alot of that podium!

I like him - I think that he brings a refreshing view. In the past we've only had washed up drivers - (ok you could argue that DC falls into that statement but he's had a better carrer than the others of recent) so it's interesting to me to see how the team owner perspective differs from the driver.

DC's quote of the day; "not sure if that was Eddie just spat on me, or if it was a spot of rain" :damnfunny

I also had to laugh when the lad Jake asked for the drive of the day type thing and when EJ gave his choice, Jake said made a sacry comment about it being a typical choice as the guy previously drove for Jordan. I fear(hope) that his days may be numbered. I never had anything against him before his new role but he just seems somehow out of touch.

Still, really enjoyed that again today and has rekindled a long lost love of F1 :thumbsup

Yep, you actually look forward to the race now on the Sunday to see who wins, then again a few days later to see who the FIA decides who should win.

Regardless, should still be worth watching, and it is great to see a new revitalised Button up front who can hardly contain the excitement of having a competitive car to drive.

And he can drive, one of the smoothest polers out there, and also one of the best in the wet if the rain comes down. That would also suit Hamilton, also great in the wet, and probably his only chance to be up at the front.

Until he moves to a new team I suppose.

Jordan is the new Cock!

Crazy Dave Coulthard is a fantastic pundit, the wee boy that tags along is no bad either, just get rid of EJ. Talking of commentators, not a fan of Legard, Brundle and any of the Five live commentators would be a better mix.

Looks like Button has it in the bag although rain could make things fun.

"Crazy Dave", now I like that!

Great to have a clued up, paid up member of the Drivers Club around to smash the myths from time to time.

EJ may well still be learning the art of regular presenting and punditry, I say we give him another show or two to get his act together before we fire him...everyone has to start somewhere ;-)

Out of interest, which other team owners (presently or previous) could realistically be lined up to take that slot? I think the blend of driver and team owner pundit is a clever and informative one. In theory at least!
