As Jenson Button attempts to make it three poles in three races, the Formula One circus heads to Shanghai for the Chinese Grand Prix. Looking at the times in the free practice sessions you would have to favourite the Brawns, but Red Bull are looking strong, as are Toyota and Williams. Also of note, only three cars are running KERS this session; Lewis Hamilton, Heikki Kovalainen and Nick Heidfeld. And finally, Timo Glock will be demoted five grid slots for having his gearbox changed out of sequence.
