Both Toyota drivers have been excluded from this mornings qualifying session after an issue with their rear wing being too flexible. Glock had qualified P6 and Trulli P8. I presume they will be starting at the back.

Williams have also lodged a protest against Red Bull and Ferrari, and although the reasons haven't been confirmed, it is understood to be to do with the aerodynamics.

Lewis Hamilton has also had to change his gearbox, and takes a five place drop.

This now means that the grid looks like this:

1: Jenson Button
2: Rubens Barrichello
3: Sebastian Vettel
4: Robert Kubica
5: Nico Rosberg
6: Felipe Massa
7: Kimi Raikkonen
8: Mark Webber
9: Nick Heidfeld
10: Fernando Alonso
11: Kazuki Nakajima
12: Heikki Kovalainen
13: Sebastien Buemi
14: Nelson Piquet Jr
15: Giancarlo Fisichella
16: Adrian Sutil
17: Sebastien Bourdais
18: Lewis Hamilton
DSQ: Timo Glock
DSQ: Jarno Trulli

Roll on Sunday!
