The front two drivers on the grid are good friends and quite light. KERS will play a part but strategy will decide the outcome today.

Weather update

It looks as though Monza will escape the rain this weekend, as the forecasts now show showers for tomorrow and sunshine today. Given how mixed up things are anyway, this is probably a good thing.

One to watch

Barrichello is the heaviest man of the top ten, and the Brawn cars are looking strong this weekend. Will they be able to regain some of their lost form?

Predictions please

Will Sutil still be second going into the first corner? Will anyone lose a fight with the high kerbs during the race? Who will be on the podium? Will the rain hold off?
