    Accuweather's forecast predicts only a 7% chance of rain, after the race start at 2PM local time.

    I'm making a point of watching this race every year - it's been among the most exciting races in past years. Bottas, the newbie, could be a bit of a wild card at the first few corners ...

    Eddie Jordan's grid walks are a lot better than Brundle's.

    Odd to start on super-softs? Surely with the green track and full fuel they'll burn out instantly?

    They've got the choice to push hard or conserve and it doesnt look like Massa in the midfield is holding back or Vettel at the front. teams just have to make their choices but with such a short pitlane and as many fresh tyres as they want there's gonna be a lot of drivers pushing hard today

    Sutil with a damaged rear wing thanks to Pastor - wonder will he be able to finish the race?

    Kimi in 8th is 37 seconds behind Vettel and even now he's out of traffic he looks slow as ****. 22 seconds cover the top 5, everyone else is more than a pitstop back. Tyres look to be going off now for just about everyone.

    Hamilton's got some good tyre management skills there - making those Super Softs last several laps longer than most everyone else - but I don't think a 1-stop is on the cards for him. I want to see how long DiResta lasts on the Mediums.

    Sometimes it's hard to believe that Lotus share anything more than an address with Renault/Benetton.
