It took two hours 45 minutes, but it was worth the wait... Rubens Barrichello is on pole while team mate Jenson Button is 14th, meaning the championship is most definitely still on.
It was incredibly wet this afternoon, which meant delayed sessions and red flags from a multitude of spins and accidents. The biggest was Tonio Liuzzi who ripped both rear wheels clean off the car when he bounced off the pitwall.
The McLaren duo failed to get through Q1 and the team was able to send out its press release midway through Q2! A record surely, but helped by the lengthy delays.
Sebastian Vettel got his timing down, so he's down in 16th. He says he can still win from there, and Michael Schumacher showed that you can overtake here in 2006.
Button made the wrong tyre call. He should have been on inters. Totally outclassed by Rubens today.
Respect to Kamui Kobayashi who qualified 11th on his debut. Driving in these conditions ain't easy and Kamui might have finished even higher if he hasn't had a big slide on his final lap - a slide he held quite magnificently. Nice one fella.
Adrian Sutil finished third, so another great effort from him. Mark Webber gave something for Red Bull to cheer from with P2.
Let's wait for the fuel weights before we go making predictions...
