    Hmmm...

    Valencia, a snoozer race with little passing, so it means qualifying is going to be the decider.

    Red Bull cars are quickest, McLarens seem to be 2nd quickest now. Ferraris are up there too.

    I think...

    Quali:

    1) Alonso (on no fuel... unless he gets a 10-grid spot penalty)
    1) Vettel
    2) Webber

    (with Hamilton, Rosberg and Kimi close behind).

    Race:
    1) Vettel
    2) Hamilton
    3) Kimi

    (with Alonso and Webber close behind)

    It will all come down to qualifying and who does well off the start into turn 1.

    I'm be happy if Vettel just swept the rest of the races, because we basically have no chance. This is the first year in a long time that I've had to make myself watch these races, and it's not just because of Ferrari's form. F1 just sucks this year, imo.

    Those look pretty reasonable. I'm still pulling for Brawn to make some big improvements.

    1. Kimi
    2. Hami
    3. Kovi

    Badoer will not get past the first 1st quali and will erupt in tears. Afterwards he'll OD on Gardenstyle Ragu. LdM will react by announcing that he is actually Moroccan despite his Italian-sounding name. Everyone will ridicule Ferrari, even Alonso.

    In the race, Alonso will accidentally pull up to the Ferrari pits for his first stop. Everyone except Ferrari fanboys (who'll cheer wildly) will laugh at Alonso -especially Piquet Jr.- and Flavio will wish he had a proper jaw to drop in his incredulous disbelief instead of that ill-defined blubbery mass. After Kimi comes in, Ferrari race tacticians will discover that his tires were given to Alonso but manage to find a set for Kimi with an experimental M+S tread pattern. The race will become really interesting after an unexpected snowstorm that will, in turn, trigger a couple of moderate mudslides on the track.

    Immediately after, Hami will ram Kimi's rear and mount his McLaren doggy-style on the Ferrari. With all the top cars hampered by the inclement weather, Kimi will easily win dragging the rear-mounted Hami to 2nd place. Kovi will finish 3rd, 13 laps behind the winning pair and aided by the extra downforce and grip produced by his enormous head.

    After the race, Domenicali won't be able to contain his excitement and will announce that Ferrari is "back on top" again. Slightly annoyed (but clearly grateful) Whitmarsh will remark that it was actually McLaren and Hami on top.

    Naturally the race organizers will go bankrupt. And luckily, so will shortly after Banco Santander. ETA will occupy Madrid and outlaw F1 under its regime. Bernie will announce that he is actually not from Suffolk as erroneously reported by the media but a Basque descendant whose real name is Beñat Etxeparestone, and that he will begin negotiations with his Basque "brothers" immediately to secure the 2010 Basque GP. Max will announce that he has always admired the region, its customs and its people. Especially The Spanish Inquisition and Francisco Franco. Bernie will comment that he is not sure what Max meant by that but it is probably OK. Or maybe not. Or both. Or neither.

    I cannot wait for this exciting race weekend to start.

    Read an interesting article, that talked about Brawn and how they made mistakes in car dev in the past and figured it all out. Expect them to be fast again in Valencia.
