Yeah, couldn't believe all of those crashes. Brawn got off pretty lucky if you ask me.

Buemi crashes his way into Q3? He was really lucky with the last one too, that could have been truly nasty.

I love Suzuka, what a great track!

Pretty funny Alonso also got dinged for not slowing for the yellow after complaining about the Brawn drivers.

Boy they were lucky to miss that wing fragment in the middle of the track!! They're going through there at what 180mph or so? It could have been a disaster if anyone had hit that- think Mario hitting that wing at Indy a few years ago (of course, luckily the aero on F1 cars probably would react differently than an Indycar).
Guess my man JB won't seal the deal tomorrow (or in a couple hours as I type this...)

BTW, with all the red flags, could the Brawns have gone out much earlier anyway???
