Analysis
Looking at the car weights we can see that all the teams have done a lot of car development and closed or surpassed the gap to the Brawn GP cars. Both Jenson and Rubens are running fairly low fuel loads in their car’s with Vettel ahead in a heavier Red Bull (which doesn’t even have a new diffuser package yet.) It should be an exciting race with a very close field.
