No that isn't a typo... Yadda yadda... who will win this year Nico or Lewis? The rest have no chance to beat them when you're driving an LMP2 car.

For picture 1 looks like some sort of pregnant Zombie mummy on skies... that or a massive tumour on skies. Or an erection gone bad at turn 11...
Come on lets not allow Lewis to win the pole, I mean Nico's intelligence and knowledge of 6 different languages will be the factor here!
This circuit has a bit of everything. For that you need a complete driver, maybe the most complete driver on the grid. Step forward Maxy C!

Unless the others have made a major leap in performance, this is going to be The Merc Show again. They pulled out a 20 sec game in just over 10 laps whilst fighting each other, so could have gone a bit quicker if they weren't holding each other up! 2+ sec/lap isn't going to be addressed in a fortnight, unless one of the teams have a eureka moment. Both Hamilton and Rosberg like this track and have won here. Will boil down to who's done their homework and has the best car setup that evolves better throughout the GP weekend. Voted for Hamilton but it was truly 50/50.. Hope the others do catch up though, wasn't a fan of the Redbull dominance and Merc dominance (whilst they may be allowed to race) won't be Fun for too much longer!
Renault will be taking another step with the engine to try and claw back Mercedes advantage: http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/309328/renault-edging-closer-to-limit-of-new-engine/ "At the test in Bahrain we tested several new software modes that will see us closer to the limits of the Power Unit than before," said Rémi Taffin, Renault Sport F1 head of track operations. "In the past three races we have been some way from the edge of the performance envelope but these new modes should see us running more to the extreme. The drivers should feel improved driveability and it should also give us greater life from each part. "Likewise we have been working on energy management per lap, particularly in the slow corners. We know we are missing out on the straights but these steps have given us greater traction in the turns, which should extend tyre life and give greater flexibility on strategies. The greater part of our work has been concentrated on race modes and performance as this is where we believe the bigger steps can be taken, rather than in qualifying. "All of these improvements should put us a bit closer to the front in China."
And of course Mercedes have stood still... Would be very surprised if Mercedes aren't working on making their strengths stronger and working on ironing out any weaknesses they have. But, still be nice to see a closer grid, would be better if Ferrari could short their ****e out too!
Thanks Silver, much appreciated mate. I think Rosberg will take this. Aren't I on x2 correct predictions?
