Default F1 2009 - Race 11 - European Grand Pix - Race day..

McLarens claiming an unexpected 1,2; Sutil starting strong on P12; Renault being permitted to race; Massa's replacement appearing clueless... The Valencia circuit promises to be an entertaining GP after the summer break.


The starting grid and the post-qualifying weights..:


Post-qualifying car weights:

1 - Lewis Hamilton / McLaren = 653.0kg *
2 - Heikki Kovalainen / McLaren = 655.0kg
3 - Rubens Barrichello / Brawn = 662.5kg
4 - Sebastian Vettel / Red Bull = 654.0kg *
5 - Jenson Button / Brawn = 661.5kg *
6 - Kimi Räikkönen / Ferrari = 661.5kg *
7 - Nico Rosberg / Williams = 665.0kg *
8 - Fernando Alonso / Renault = 656.5kg *
9 - Mark Webber / Red Bull = 664.5kg
10 - Robert Kubica / BMW = 657.5kg *
11 - Nick Heidfeld / BMW = 677.0kg
12 - Adrian Sutil / Force India = 672.5kg *
13 - Timo Glock / Toyota = 694.7kg *
14 - Romain Grosjean / Renault = 677.7kg
15 - Sébastien Buemi / Toro Rosso = 688.5kg
16 - Giancarlo Fisichella / Force India = 692.5kg
17 - Kazuki Nakajima / Williams = 702.0kg
18 - Jarno Trulli / Toyota = 707.3kg
19 - Jaime Alguersuari / Toro Rosso = 678.5kg *
20 - Luca Badoer / Ferrari = 690.5kg


* Lightest of the team's two cars (first to pit under normal circumstances)

- Lightest car: Lewis Hamilton / McLaren - 1st - 653.0kg
- Heaviest car: Jarno Trulli / Toyota - 18th - 707.3kg

Note: Race entrants are displayed in provisional grid order

Barrichello all set to win this race. With less than 10 laps to go, he shouldn't have any problems.

Yeah. It was a great race. But for the pit stop fumble, Hamilton would have finished on P1. Unlucky there. Almost 6 crucial seconds wasted in that mess.
