It all makes sense! I new Button wasnt that good and Raikkonen that ****! They swapped over that season!
Hamilton not afraid of the Bulls.. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/106207 I tend to agree, they (RB) went out later, track was evolving all the time and by the time Hamilton put his fastest time in, his tyres were already 3 laps old (Out lap, flying lap 1 and flying lap 2), where Vettel did his quickest time on his first flying lap and about a minute or two after Hamilton's time, whilst I don't think Hamilton would have gone as quick as Vettel, I'm sure in same conditions (track and tyres) he'd be a lot closer. please log in to view this image
Starting to think optimistically that wet or dry Mercedes will challenge for podium places. Still not convinced by Red Bull, their pace was good but nothing spectacular and with their car being an evolution I'm still adamant that they won't be able to develop it as much as Ferrari, Lotus, Mercedes or Mclaren unless Newey works his magic again.
Yup. I also wouldn't put it past Daniel Abt and Mitch Evans to make an impression, both did very well in GP3 last year (although Evans really did choke towards the back end of the year).
Some great detailed shots.. http://somersf1.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/malaysia-sepang-technical-image-gallery.html
I have a favour to ask, I missed the poll deadline. As there have been no practices or anything yet, may I still register my prediction? Pleeeaaase. If so, I'd like to vote with the Hamelots, please.
I can't see it being a problem, I've edited the above quote into the OP so it doesn't get forgotten. Hope that's ok EMSC.
James Calado, probably the brightest hope in last year's dire field in GP2. Now he has a season under his belt should be challenging for the title.
Can you do that for me DHC? I voted for Alonso but I want to vote for Massa, can I change my vote? This is serious business.
So who's watching practices tonight (tomorrow morning)? I'll probably watch FP1 but I think I will end up giving FP2 a miss.
