Great result, as all have seen, by the Brawn GP people, with Richard B's Virgin brand and the strong Mercedes engine unit. All a testament to the new order in F1 and the absolute need for a shorter off-season and more races in between to create a new season worth staying up until 3am to watch on the telly. Nice new functions on-screen as well, yet still a bit static, but a good start in the right direction, nonetheless.

Vettel's Villeneuve impersonation after punting the equally grim Kubica rank as lo-lite highlights as do, Hamilton's inspired charge from the rear and Ferrari's comedy of error's as they show again that they like to do it the hard way and play catch-up.

Which they will, because that Brawn is fast, diffuser aside, and so are the Toyota's and the William's and Vettel too,
