And even in that short space of time, Romain Grosjean managed to bin it in a most spectacular way. I'll try find a video of that later, but here are the results:

So at the moment it is hard to tell who will be on pole. It will depend on how much rain falls, and how much the track dries up in Q1, and Q2. I expect Hamilton and Vettel to be most likely to claim pole. I also think the Ferraris will struggle to make it into the shoot out session. The Brawns, should make qualify around 3 to 7. Really, the rain brings out the best in drivers, and Button and Barrichello are no slouches. After all, they both took their maiden wins in wet races. However, the Brawn GP car doesn't like the wet, and it will be interesting to see if their solution to cool tyres helps them in the rain.
