I see the Vettel row rumbles on. No surprise there. I'm interested to see Mark's on track reaction as he can do quite well driving angry - "not bad for a number 2 driver" and all that.

Massa is on for outqualifying Alonso for the 5th race in a row. He's driving quite well this year, which could cause problems for Ferrari later on. If Alonso fails to finish a couple more races and he's behind on points in the later stages how would Ferrari cope with it?

These predictions are nothing more than a build-up thing for the weekend. The "deadline" for the predictions is the start of the first practise which means that these predictions will not clutter the thread once the cars start driving around the track. Plus this makes the thread more active when there is not much else to talk about.

Red Bull sandbagging?

Quote from JackDaMaster :

Don't think so - with the amount of downforce they run they're going to be susceptible to tyre wear issues and Vettel is complaining his tyres last 5 - 6 turns which when you watch him drive seems legit. They also had to remove some upgrades they had brought to China, IIRC something to do with barge boards, which could be the reason they have dropped off the pace a little.

I would like to see a proper frontrunner take the plunge and stick the primes on for Q3. It would be fascinating to see how a car would fare on say the third row with those tyres on.

Ferrari looked good on soft tyres. Seems like this is a Merc track. Red Bull will be there or thereabouts.
