If it rains, and it will, anyone can win. Just like Alonso last year with the crappy car.

My picks are Vettel, Alonso, Raikonen, in the order. If it rains you can through a Marrusia in there.

I like Kimi, but I don't think that he has the car to go all the way to the WDC. With Fernando in the second row tonight, and a definate prediction of rain for Malaysia, the podium will consist of Fernando, Hamilton and either Vettel or Kimi I look for a very exciting race

Euh... Massa has better starts than Alonso and is starting from P2 ? If his team doesn't let him down like in Melbourne he should be on the podium.

Just watched qualifying and during the intro I heard Bob Varsha's voice. I swear that some bile came up into my mouth.

I'm wondering if NBC paniced with the low ratings and thought that Bob Varsha was the answer. If so, F1 on NBC is in real trouble.

Funny,
My wife likes Varsha and if it gets her to watch F1 I am happy. I do not care for the Indy guy.

No worries, if Alonso can't pass Massa on the start, surely Ferrari will make similar pit stop adjustment as in Australia so that Alonso will be able to beat Massa.

P.S. Massa has now been faster that the fastest Formula 1 driver in 4 qualies in a row...

Fernando is a much better driver in the rain (wet)

Diffey was scheduled to call the IRL St Pete race, so Varsha filled in.
Same thing used to happen last year when Varsha was at Barrett Jackson; Diffey would fill in.

Still wish they had dumped Buxton and brought back Peter Windsor.

Webber screwed again. This time by crew who should have called him in to change tyres like the rest in Q3.

What a great start for Webber, unfortunate for Alonso and then to try and push for another lap with his front wing barely holding on was a bit of a brain freeze.

LOL @ Hamilton...He Pulled Into The McLaren Pitt Box!!!




Mclaren should have serviced him for old time's sake. Haha

It's good to know that I'm not the only one to do dumb stuff...

"Get him out of the way, he's too slow."

- Sebastian Vettel asking Red Bull Racing to tell Mark Webber to move over

I'll go ahead and wait for the Alonso and Schumacher haters to chime in. That said we can make the important deduction here that Adrian Newey only remote pilots Vettel's car and not Webber's.
