    Another great race weekend is upon us! :) One can hope the Ferrari god's will step in again and provide further confusion for Mercedes. The radio chat last weekend with LH and Nico was priceless! :)

    Mercedes brought a new front wing and a few other updates. The wing is a thing of beauty. It will be an epic mercedes domination with at least a 20 second gap from the pair of mercedes.

    I'm going with teams finishing together in the race as in:
    1 Hamilton
    2 Rosberg
    3 Vettel
    4 Raikkonen
    5 Bottas
    6 Masa

    If that happens for the most part the rest of the season, it's just squeezing a lot of folks out of the points with only 4 more spots left in the top ten. Until someone else can consistently get into the top 6, well, then they won't!

    what is amazing - and you really dont hear much about it - is the amount of electronic sensors in the front wing that bring back data every time the car is on track. they cant get it in real time, but once the car is plugged in in the garage - it bring back tons of aero load data... we were talking to the front wing guy at Mercedes in Austin last year and it was actually facinating what they can tell the car is doing by the aero and then adjust brake bias, rear wing attack, side pod blanking etc... even tire pressure per corner... each side element and flip up has a pressure senser in the carbon...

    I'm expecting Mercedes to respond strongly to their loss to Ferrari. China is not a high degradation circuit, so Ferrari will lose that advantage. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if it's not a whitewash. The gap on single lap performance is not that huge.

    IslandBoy,
    You're right, there are no replays listed on NBCSN or TVracer.com
    The only thing I found was on what might be a regional network, Comcast Sports Network Washington DC, which will replay it 7pm eastern on Tuesday April 14 Comcast SportsNet TV Listings | Comcast SportsNet Washington

    Not sure of any details, but NBC owns some of these regional Comcast sports networks, and just two days ago they reran Malaysia also.

    The NBC Sports LiveExtra app has coverage and then provides full race replays, it's a free app so it seems to be worth it just for that, plus they have live audio coverage of all FP sessions that NBC doesn't carry.

    You could also try and find if any replays are on regular NBC or the other NBC channel (usually has business) that will carry a few races this year like they did last year.

    Weather isn't very warm. With a bit of luck it's cold enough for Ferrari to do a 1 stop, it's only hope?
