Williams had a terrible time of it yesterday, with one engine failure, and one ten place penalty due to a previous engine change. They're starting from the back of the grid, and have a lot of work to do. This must be the worst Williams start for a very, very long time.

Meanwhile, at the front, Sebastian Vettel will line up on pole position, ahead of two rather speedy McLaren drivers, both of whom want to prove something to each other, and to those watching at home.

I'll be keeping an eye on the battle between Sauber and Toro Rosso, who go into the race on equal points. Sergio Pérez starts ahead of both STR cars, with Kobayashi behind.

The race gets underway at 1pm GMT with the Factbyte Factbox opening up an hour beforehand to get the build up going.
