Anyone know the situation out there? Has it settled down a bit or is it likely to be another horrible weekend again?

Raikkonen. It's similar to Melbourne as it's mainly braking zones and traction zones and we know that the Lotus was very good there, however Alonso will give him a good run. right now I think it will be Raikkonen Alonso Hamilton/Vettel But both Ferrari's together have over half the wins here and Ferrari have half the wins, but they were terrible last year.. I want to say Alonso again but i'll just curse him
I think people are voting Kimi because of warmer temperatures and that Lotus have been there or thereabouts so far this season in terms of winning pace. I went for Fernando because he runs very well there, and that I think China was an example of how dominant both driver and car can be.
Alonso for the Win me thinks, Hamilton again for Pole but falling back during the race. Kimi and Vettel will run Alonso close for the win though. But will hold off voting just yet (may change my mind later on this week).
Alonso, Kimi, Alonso, Kimi? Kimi. Seems like that damage to his nose did actually cost him about 9.5 seconds during the race.
They're the only realistic options. I went for Raikkonen but think Alonso's the better option, Lotus don't have the one lap pace or the starts.
A friend of mine went their over Christmas with his family and he said that actually it is largely fine although there are certain 'no go' areas on the outskirts of places like Manama where there is a lot of instability and violence/protests going on. Most hotels when he went were operating fine with normal security measures. Although in the last week protest groups have been displaying a lot of anti F1 stuff so I guess we will have to wait and see.
Has to be Alonso. He has the car at the moment and he's a capable enough driver to make use of that Will probably be Vettel on pole with maybe Hamilton 2nd. From there it'll be Alonso's race with Vettel and Raikkonen making up the podium.
I can't decide at this stage: Vettel must be in with a good shot, surely; likewise Kimi and Fernando for the reasons others have stated. Also, Kyle's choice, Grosjean was excellent here last year but doesn't seem to able to compete with Kimi so far this year; I know that his car was inferior to his team mate's but will that still be the case? I can't see the Mercs being able to keep up through the race, especially here, and I doubt they'll make the podium. I'd love to see Hulk deliver on his potential, he seems so close to a breakthrough, but it would be an emotional and perhaps foolish choice because the car isn't good enough.
I agree with the above votes. Lotus and Ferrari are the strongest cars. I think they would have won Malasia too if it wasnt for the circumstances. Ive gone for Alonso as I believe they had more in the can yesterday but were cruising
Yeah.. in-between voting for either Alonso or Kimi with Vettel next best chance.... Gonna go with Alonso me thinks, he's a man on a mission this year!
