Should be an interesting start!

I was about to start typing that very thing...6 different cars in the first 6 grid slots: very interesting indeed!
And the "second wave" will also be something to watch: Button/Webber/Hamilton/Raikkonen
The race starts at midnight local time, and I may just stay up for it.

Vettel complained bitterly about Button's McLaren teammate, Lewis Hamilton, saying the Briton slowed him down when he unlapped himself on lap 35. Hamilton, in his 100th Grand Prix, had an early puncture that ruined his race before he retired on lap 59.

"I don't see the point in him trying to race us. It is a bit stupid to race the leaders," Vettel said.

Vettel said Hamilton's move probably caused him to lose second place to Button temporarily.

Memorandum To Sebastian Vettel:
Dear Mr. Vettel,
Did you ever stop to think that Hamilton was perhaps trying to help his team mate (Button).....

Great win by Alonso!
