So who's going to be watching Bahrain? Any predictions?

I have no idea how the different teams are going to do. I guess we will have a better idea after Q3 qualifying tomorrow.

I'm supporting the All-British team of course.

I'll be pulling for the Ferrari's of course ... then Schumacher.

Looks like it's going to be an exciting season.

I'm hoping Webber can add to his 2 wins from last year.

I'm sure he will, but not sure it will be this weekend based on the practice sessions.

Obsidian - looks like cards are falling in your team's favor. Ferraris have an edge on McLaren. And while Vettel has pole, however given their overheating issues I doubt the RedBull car can run full throttle and make it to the end of the race.

Vettel is certainly on top of his game.

Interesting that Massa out performed Alonso in Qualifying.
Alonso is new to Ferrari, but Massa has had several months off.

Webber seemed to have an ordinary qually lap, & should have been 4th or 5th based on Practice form.

McLaren are off racing winning pace for now at least.

Should be a great race!

Yeah, I was happy with qualifying. Alonso is in a good spot and the Ferrari was very reliable and consistent on long runs in preseason testing ... however, the temps in Bahrain are insane. Plus it will be interesting to see how the tires hold up, especially for the top 10 runners.

Vettel is the man ... the next true superstar IMO. We'll see how those Red Bulls hold up though.

I was surprised to see Massa top Alonso, but Fernando still had the fastest lap of the weekend in 3rd practice ... so he definitely has the speed.

Should be exciting.

Game. Set. Match. Big red is going to have a very good year. Schumie is looking racy too.

Didn't see Schumi looking racy. In fact didn't see anyone looking racy. This year's rule changes are a huge step backwards. I can understand with such heavy fuel loads and such long tire runs, you can't have overtaking. I preferred the sprint format we had before.
