Appreciated my friend.

Hamilton (had a rough P1 but was still almost .5 seconds faster than Rosberg)
Rosberg
Massa (probably should pick Vettel but won't)

The 'smart move' would be to bank on a continued Mercedes dominance but, as we saw in qualifying, at Sepang you're never going very far out on a limb to take a gamble on the rain.

Decisions, decisions...

My picks:

Vettel
Hamilton
Rosberg

... & rain! :D

I will go
HAM
VET
ROS

Although something tells me half way through the race, Vettel and Rosberg will tangle and both will be out.

This looks like the race that Vettel will break through the Mercedes jaugernaut. I'll go with Vettel, Hamilton, Rosberg

All that I can say is; WOW!- That was a fun GP to watch. :D

I thought that it would take rain to help Vettel's cause. Instead, it turns out that the Ferrari is extremely gentle on it's tires.

Looks like we have a genuine two team battle for the championship in the offing for this year, folks. :)

Williams looks to be 'the best of the rest': Now if only they can claw their way into to battle up front. :hope:

... And a tip of the hat to the STR boys, who showed up the 'varsity squad' once again. :clap:

Here's how we did:

Retroram52 & IndyAndy: 10 points - picked all three steps of the podium correctly
forty_three: 4 points - picked Rosberg for 3rd, got Hamilton & Vettel out of position
Hank Kingsley: 2 points - got Hamilton & Rosberg out of position.

Season Totals so far:

Retroram52: 20 points
IndyAndy: 17 points
forty_three: 12 points
Hank Kingsley: 10 points

Next Up: Shanghai, on April 12th. :)

Good job Indy on the call. I think Vettel has brought that intensity he had several years hence to Ferrari and they have finally responded.

No idea what MB was doing pitting from the lead under the safety car. That made no sense at all.

And they stuffed up their tire usage in qualifying to boot.
