First practice sesion is coming closer and i still can't see F1 Malaysia GP topic so i'll make one

Looks like weather is going to be rainy - that means our "maestro" Charlie Whiting will give us another procession and not a race as everyone would love to see (what the hell happened - It used to be most thrilling and dangerous moto sport in the world :shrug. I only hope they will not cancel race after 20 laps and Qualyfiyng will go smooth.

So what are Yours predictions for this GP?

1. Who will win?
2. Who will take Pole?
3. How many laps we will see behind Safety Car?
4. Will we see the Red Flag?
5. First one to crash his car?
6. How many cars will finish the race?

1. I think, i hope Alonso time has come

Win - Alosno
2nd - Raikkonen
3rd - Massa

From what we have seen in Australia - Red Bull is fast but it's eating tyres - not as much as Mercedes - but Vettel was loosing his pace to Alonso.
And as long as i remember Massa was always good on this track so i think he will score some good points on this GP.
Raikkonen is fast and he has great car but i think on wet Alonso has better chances to win.

2. Pole - Alonso

3. Im betting on 19 laps behind Safety Car

4. I think we will see Red Flag at least once and there will be 30 min break in "racing".

Todays press conference for those who are intrested:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPCNGo02VKc

First sight of the hard tyres at this race. Seems like the opinion was that the graining was made worse by the cooler temps in Australia. I don't think we'll see quite the same problems that we had last week.

My only hope is that they don't stop the race just because it gets a bit wet. Race Control have become very risk averse in recent years.

1. Who will win?: Alonso pls
2. Who will take Pole?: Vettel
3. How many laps we will see behind Safety Car?: 10
4. Will we see the Red Flag?: Maybe
5. First one to crash his car?: Maldonado
6. How many cars will finish the race?: 17

1. Who will win? Vettel
2. Who will take Pole? Vettel
3. How many laps we will see behind Safety Car? 0
4. Will we see the Red Flag? No
5. First one to crash his car? Perez
6. How many cars will finish the race? 19

Expecting Red Bull domination if it's dry - their problem in Aus was they couldn't keep heat in their tyres.

1. Kimi of course
2. Vettel
3. 5-10
4. Nope
5. Pastor Maldonado
6. 20

Seems odd that Marussia have the KERS button on the right of the wheel, same as the upshifts. Would have thought it would be easier on the left.

Tried it driving home from work. Found it much easier to upshift whilst changing the volume control (on the left in my car) compared to moving through radio stations (on the right)

Driver preference ultimately.

Any streams of FP3?

Yay heavy rain for Q3.
