Who will win?

Red Bull might make a race of it at this track.

Lewis for the win. Daniel might play spoiler but I'll stick with Lewis.

1. Lewis
2. Ricciardo
3. Bottas

I predict crash/problem for Nico. He is overdue. The runoff at the last race doesn't qualify.

I picked Rosberg. All the Hamilton fanboys can gloat when I am wrong...

I'm going with Vettel. This is the part of the season where he became unstoppable last year. This track suits the RB and he will want to reclaim his leadership position in the team. He may not be able to salvage this season, but he will want to make a statement for next year. It's time for the Mercedes dominance to end!

Nico does well on the tight windy stuff (2 time Monaco winner), if he doesn't finish ahead of Hamilton, then I can see a slow and steady fall the rest of the season. Of course we still have the dreaded double points race at the end of the season so all this may be for naught until the end unless one or the other has a 51+ point lead by the last race...

I can see how the bulls might do well on this track.

That is the most retarded thing of this entire 2014 season. I'm actually hoping it backfires on F1. I am hoping Rosberg or Hamilton build a 51+ point lead so that next year they remove this nonsense of the double points.

Agreed!!

I wonder if the double points race will persuade teams to cheat extra hard?

Having it hindsight of the first 2 practices, it was predictable that Red Bull and Ferrari would be right there to challenge Mercedes. Seems like there isn't a track where the Mercs are slow this year. Williams, Force India and McLaren, all "fast track" cars will be nowhere. Singapore will be a good opportunity for Ricciardo to take it straight to the Mercedes.
