Rosberg has always gone very well here so going to be tough to rule him out. (both predictions if dry) Q Vet Ros Raik R Raik Vet Ros Although the top 3 for the race could be any of those 3 really.
Massa will outqualify Fred, but Fred will finish on the podium. Race (Dry): Vettel Rosberg Fred Seb will want to put the Malaysia debacle behind him and will seek to dominate the whole weekend to, in his mind at least, make everyone STFU. Mysterious woes will plague Mark lol.
Lol. Love it. Webber putting Seb in a barrier knocking them both out, followed by Webber walking to the paddock and giving Horner a black eye and a lesson in team management from Ross Brawn
My friend Anna who lives and works in China got asked by Ferrari for the China race to do interviews and accompany Alonso and the team. Pretty neat gig. Her third year. Kai
*Very* cool! She's with him as translator I guess? Sweet gig! Hopefully, she can get some "behind the scenes" pix...... Although I suspect her contract basically says "STFU" about anything you may hear/learn!..... Cheers, Ian
Last year she sent me a few... She's actually Phillipino but speaks fluent Chinese and has lived there for many years. And she's still single. She shows me around Shanghai when I get there. She's awesome. Kai
No more little "v" shaped contours above each diffuser fin anymore...straight across now, interesting: http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/480730_477739728959566_1942429278_n.jpg
Red Bull won't podium here is my bold guess. Their style of blown diffuser will really hinder their braking stability braking from 320+kph and cause a loss in time. Their low traction grip coming out of said hairpin won't be best for them either. This circuit will be a Mercedes vs Lotus grudge match with advantage Mercedes, and throw in a Ferrari to the mix for some Italian seasoning. I'm really not sure how Ferrari will go here. Merc have the braking stability, the low traction stability, and a HUGE advantage due to their Fric system in the long sweeping turns such as the very odd China turn 1,2,3 area. If Merc don't do very very well here I would be hugely surprised.
John everytime you say Merc will do well, they don't, so leave it to eye impaired Ham to bring it on..
