    Raikkonen vs. Koba vs. Hamilton vs. Schuey for the win?

    We all know Rosberg will choke and end up about 9th tomorrow, and Button has used all his softs up, and Alonso looks a little too far away.

    delighted to see a merc lockout of the front row (Mercs first since 1955) but unfortunately they will do their trick of going backwards during the race due to excessive tyre wear.

    My prediction:

    Kamui dives up the inside to take out himself and one of the Mercs :P

    The other Merc will pull away only to be pegged. It'll be vital for pitstop timing for anybody other than a Merc to win the race imo :pac:

    Really ropey grid walk by DC on the beeb. That's enough to make people to pay for Sky :rolleyes:

    Great getaway and should have him really well placed to lead after the first stops if the opening races are anything to go by but Rosberg is opening a decent gap already

    Vettel is having a nightmare, racing with the Force India's. Interesting to see that even with DRS behind the FI he cant get close down the straight

    EDIT: And he's already saying on the radio that he wont be able to get past him on the straight

    He'll look to get out of sequence from the rest of the field and get his stint on the harder prime tyres out of the way as soon as possible

    Good call by Sauber to bring in Kobayashi, could move him up ahead of Lewis and maybe even Kimi given how much Schumi is holding up the group

    well that's interesting piece there.
    maybe duct pipes ending here and air flow moves to the whole width of the nose element - there are maybe not pipes inside nose cone but funnel is rather moulded into element. I guess could save few millimetres of outer body design to make tighter aero.

    We saw him run wide at T1 after his pitstop so clearly a problem relating from the stop for Schumi
