I'm sure many of these cars would be looking for a 2 stop strategy. At least Heidfeld and others starting heavier would look to. Surprising thing is that Button is heavier among the top 5. So he must be looking to settle for a pit stop a few laps later than the rest of the top 5, which would in turn mean more time to extend his lead over the others.. ;) Assuming all goes well at the start of the race..

Watching the BBC coverage. They are doing some nice graphic coverage
Basically with the fuel loads accounted for and taking the speeds into account, the Brawn's(Button) are supposedly going to run away at the start
With Toyota's some distance behind.
