Both McLaren boys are looking forward the heat in Bahrain where they say the car should be on the pace. I read that as they'll be both up the sharp end. Lewis is 2/1 f for the win.

Vettel 5th in qualifying and 3rd in race but Button and Hamilton for front row and 1st and 2nd in race.
Schumacher and Rosberg on 2nd row but the heat may upset their tyre management during the race.

Like it Vic!
I'm currently chewing over Button at 6/1 for pole and Vergne for a points finish at 7/1

Vettel 6th in qual,4th in race
Well I was right about the HRT's. Then I heard that Bernie has reversed the grid to make it more appealing for television viewers.
I may go to a race this year and deal with Vettel's stuck index finger.
I know exactly where to put it, arrogant, brilliant German, hasn't he read the script? We are the Master race.

Well we certainly turned out to be pretty poor predictors. Lets see what happens in Spain.
You can say that again :.: :yell: .
Not a bad race for such featureless landscape, Kimi did good as did his team mate. McLaren had mechanical and pit problems with both cars so their position does not reflect their true pace. The only way to bend Vettel's finger is to give Alonso a decent car.
I would think that Fernando will be sorted out in three weeks time. For you betting people I'll bet there is plenty of overtime going on at the moment in Maranello.
Good result for Lotus, but realistically I think we have to expect McLaren, Red Bull, Mercedes to be tying up the first six places on a regular basis.

Wanted a safety car to help with the wager but didn't happen. Di Resta for a points finish gave me a small return. Button e/w obviously came nowhere.
Good result with Vettel e/w for pole so that covered all my weekend.

I thought Schumacher had a good race coming from the back of the grid after a gearbox change to finish tenth.
His comments about tyres were interesting I thought when he said that Pirelli need to look at the situation whereby drivers are having to alter their race strategy to preserve tyres that don't last,thereby detracting from the racing.

I just tweeted him to say the same.
What a nice guy he comes across as.
I wish him all the success he deserves.

Di Resta may well be a "nice chap" but by George he is as dull as dishwater. If ever there was an example of a corporate-produced racer, that's him.
I prefer a bit of excitement and controversy in my F1 drivers. Hope he does well but for charisma, look elsewhere,

I agree, but is there any current F1driver that isn't a graduate of the Steve Davis Academy of Personal Presentation?

Raikkonen. He is like a glove puppet- without a puppeteer!
