    Let's hear your predictions for the outcome of the Turkish GP next week.

    Can Ferrari refit the car in such a way as to be competitive? Can they get the pit wall strategy worked out?

    Will LH and JB take each other out?

    Red Bull too big to fall?

    Them pesky Renault fellas are chompin' at the bit. Got wins?

    Sadly I predict that Vettel will be on pole again this time by a HUGE margin because most people will be conserving their softs for the race - then provided he gets a good start and has a working KERS unit he'll fly off into the distance never to be seen again.

    I predict there will be a race, which will probably suck big time but you never know. At least I can say that I will GET UP AND WATCH THE RACE LIVE AT 5:00 am PST, and that's more than most folks around here can say it seems.

    All the morons and their "SPOILER" nonsense, how about getting off your A$$ and actually watching the sport LIVE, like real fans do.

    Well it sure has been a long three weeks and I only make predictions after qualifying but I would like to see Ferrari and McLaren bring it to RBR.

    Absent reliability problems Redbull wins. Ferrari will close the gap but not enough...

    Red Bull will dominate sector 2 and sector 3 while Mclaren will be on par only in sector 1 with RB. I do not expect MB to do well at this track, but I can see Ferrari doing well. Renault will perform too. The back end of the car is incredibly critical at this mess of a circuit. That will determine the winner of this race as well.

    qualifying:
    Vettel
    Webber
    Button
    Alonso
    Hamilton
    Heidfeld
    Massa
    Schumacher
    Petrov
    Rosberg

    The question will be who has big brass ones for turn 8? I will miss this turn when this GP leaves the circus....

    it's really a crap shoot since f1 has been on break. of course red bull will be strong, but i hope mclaren and ferrari can fight back.

    i think webber is due for a great performance. sebastian can only out perform him for so many races before he fights back.

    Ferrari will disappoint, Massa will beat Alonso again since he loves this track and Vettel will cruise barring reliability woes. MS will outqualify Rosberg for the first time this year.

    Looks like we may need to adjust these expectations.

    That funky grunting overrun on Alonso's car has me wondering if we may see some unexpected moves up the ladder during qualifying. The new exhaust may add an edge.
