That sounds about right to me. The Toyota and Red Bull are both showing some pace already, so I would say their drivers are in with a decent shot at a win or two. For me, the BMW is still a bit of an unknown quantity - Kubica was pretty quick in Australia before crashing out, but then we didn't see enough of him in Malaysia to know what he could have done there. I'll be surprised if Kovalainen gets anywhere near a win this season (although finishing the first lap would be a step in the right direction ), although I'd expect to see quite a few improvements to the McLaren once the European races come around.

Sev has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Congrats Vettel! Two people off this list this season now. All we need is Kubica to win one as well now.

Two drivers off the list, but hopefully we'll see a few new names being added before the end of the season - Mark Webber being one of them.

If Toyota can have less days like today and more like Melbourne, I'm starting to think Glock is more likely to get on this list this year than Trulli is off it.

Luigi Fagioli did win the Italian GP in 1933 and 1934, both years of a two year interregnum with no World Championship - however it was a major event then. I'd probably include him on the list with that caveat.

Just on this, Is Webbers 130 starts now the record for most GP starts before winning ? If so who held the record previously ? Is it Trulli ?

Yep, a new record, but before that was Ruben's, he won his 123rd race, Trulli, incidently, won his 119th start.

I really did smile to myself when my daughter did that, thinking of how all of you drove everyone else crazy with that thread. A fond memory of the fun aspect of 10/10ths.

oh, and ps, for the record...the answer is no

I see Glock as a one-hit-wonder for some reason. He just seems like one

I don't think I see a new one-hit wonder this season. Right now only two teams look like winning, and even if McLaren/Ferrari get it together over the last few races their drivers are already winners (although unfortunately I don't see Kovalainen departing this list anytime soon).

You would think Heidfeld would be overdue a win (most podiums without a win and most points without a win are the records that he would probably rather not have), but it's not looking likely at the moment.

Not only the Beeb.
At least the TV coverage switched back just in time for the podium ceremony.

It would have been ever more sad to have a first time winner and have him ignored.

I would have preferred to have had more post-race analysis on the BBC forum, i.e. discussing moves etc. However, they hardly ignored Webber's win. They more than acknowledged it. They showed the press conference, they showed a seperate interview with him after the race- what more do you want?

This reduces the active membership of the One-Hit Wonder Club to Jarno Trulli, Robert Kubica, and Heikki Kovaleinen. 2009 was not a good year for this fraternity.
