Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello...
...Adrian Sutil and Fernando Alonso have all been given 5 place grid drop for ignoring yellows 
I didnt get up early to watch the quali (although i was awake) but i sure as hell will be up tomorrow morning to watch it

How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

its going to be a cracker tomorrow, i reckon that button will run a long first stint and justfill his tank to try and make some time up on the others,
lets just hope the brawn mechanics can set the balance of his car correctly!

I dont think he can. I think the penalty doesnt allow them to be classed as 12th or whatever so the only way he could do that is if he started from
the pit lane.

They are just levelling everybody up so the championship goes to the last race again
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

The penaties are a bit harsh --- faint aroma of FIA meddling to make the championship run to the wire.
On other fronts ---
In the next few days rumour has that Max is going to go for another major figure in F1 with allegations of illegal rev limit fiddling.
However Max has landed himself and the Jean Todt FIA presidential campaign in the myre, it looks like the Arab votes with form a substantial block of
votes in the FIA senate may go against the Moseley-Todt rock crusher. All of a sudden Ari Vatanen looks like he is a viable candidate again,
In meeting with the press Max is also reported to have made childish nasty references to Jackie Stewart again.
Todt I am reminded in 2002 reportedly proclaimed Alonso would never drive for Ferrari ! :-) rotf
Massa has reportedly consulted a lawyer to get the results of the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix canceled so giving Massa the championship ---- I am sure
that will do wonders for his relations with his new teammate.

I don't think the penalties harsh.
When I was racing in the post-historic classic saloon cars, drivers who overtook/speeded under yellows in quali , where demoted to the back of the
grid.
They got off light!

I still watch it every race though

I think the penalty was a bit tough. They weren't allowed to improve on their previous times. Seeing as they hadn't been able to set any
previous times due to various people doing crash bandicoot impressions they didn't better their previous times simples.....
