    Just checking the F1 site and it says 2hrs 20mins to go till the race :D

    Great Pole Position by Nico. It's going to be an interesting race esp the first few laps. Not sure if Merc has the race pace but with the grid mixed it can be anyone's race today!

    Unfortunately it doesn't look like Ferrari will be fighting for the podium today :( but if anyone can do it, Alonso can :eek:

    Forza Ferrari/Webber/Schumie/Kimi :D

    I'd love to see an unpredictable result like Schumacher, Raikkonen and Kobayashi.

    With the grid shuffled in a way almost no one would have predicted this will hopefully be the best race of the season.

    I predict Karthikeyan will get in everyone's way.

    Thrice.

    No idea how many times I said this. But I do hope this is the race Michael will finish in the top 3.

    The question is will the Mercs have the pace in the race. They can't use the fancy DRS like they could in quali.

    They aren't limited to a few DRS zones in qualifying, so they get a larger boost from SuperDRS than they do come race day.

    It's just a single, fairly short, DRS zone here.

    It will be interesting to see if they get swamped in the first few laps where there is no DRS at
    all. They could get shuffled back pretty quickly if their speed is all DRS related.
