From what the commentators said, Bianchi was running a lot of updated components and Chilton was running the stuff from Barcelona.

Maldonado's pretty quick (if disaster-prone), so I'm not sure what you're after there.

Actually I rate Maldonado quite highly - GP2 Champion and Barcelona winner. But Chilton for me has always been a bit of a "joke" amongst UK racers - everyone knows he has a very wealthy family and has worked his way up pretty regardless of his results. He, in my mind, is now along the same lines as Gonzales who has just been "recruited" by Marussia despite hardly scoring a single point in 3 years of GP2.

Who cares...

Most of the new drivers in F1 are backed up by big companies, in some cases even goverment companies. This is how the F1 works.

I don't wanna see another Newey season, but I'm afraid it's inevitable... :thumbsdow

I thought it would be a Newey season, but he only wins in sets of three ('92-'94, '96-'98 and hopefully only '10-'12).

Well if the McLaren is as shit as it appears then it's going to be a walk int he park for Vettel. The RBR looks glued to the track.

dont rule out alonso

Quote from Rappa Z :

If you're counting WCC then thats probably correct. WDC on the other hand it would be '92-'99.

I think it's unfair to do the predictions after the FP sessions, a lot of stuff is clearer now Roland chetz!

Sutil will rise again.

Here is the rain....

cant help but notice how good that sauber looks and the ferrari

Sauber reminds me of a 2010 HRT.

Lotus, on the other hand...too much red.

FUUUUUUUU

You're right. Probably another Vettel year then.

Swear F1 gets more pathetic by the season when it comes to wet running...

^ True, I'm pretty convinced they drove in worst.

Am I the only one to see the Villeneuve-like V in Charles Pic's Giedo van der Garde's new helmet?
