    At least one of the Cliffords will be on the podium, maybe Massa will be a man-possessed and we'll get both red cars there.

    Wow, I can't even begin to imagine what could happen with this grid:

    01 Sebastian Vettel Red Bull Racing
    02 Mark Webber Red Bull Racing
    03 Kamui Kobayashi Sauber
    04 Romain Grosjean Lotus
    05 Sergio Perez Sauber
    06 Fernando Alonso Ferrari
    07 Kimi Räikkönen Lotus
    08 Jenson Button McLaren
    09 Lewis Hamilton McLaren
    10 Felipe Massa Ferrari

    I am going to be watching Kamui. Bonzia! Hope he goes for it and gets in front of Red Bull. Hope they are afraid and back-off :) It is vary narrow there in the run down to T1.

    I need Romain to jump Webber and Kobi and knock Vettel out.

    Actually, Seb is looking like the "three peat" is in reach. Fernando's car seems to have slipped backwards as some of the other teams have made effective modifications. Fernando needs to do what he's done all season and take an inferior car to a podium finish.

    Listening to Lewis' comments about the change, I wonder if he's actually second-guessing his move. He didn't sound very confident about going to a strong Mercedes team.

    Looked like some 5-6" size carbon bit worked its way loose.
