Williams should go very well here, their car is strong everywhere and Red Bull's superior aerodynamics should be nullified a bit as this is a street circuit allowing Nico to be on the same pace as Webber and Vettel.

But McLaren and Ferrari might ruin the party with their KERS powered cars (whether Badoer gets in the mix is another matter). And will Brawn drop even further back, or will they bounce back?

Brawn could go well here if its hot enough for the tyres, that could make or break their race. If we see a few safety cars (which lets face it is likely) then they could find it really difficult to keep up. Think McLaren could be good, as well as RBR and Williams.
Interesting that we dont all seem to be yelling that Ferrari will come good here. Same could be said for Renault.
Ultimately, a good get away and safety cars may limit cars ability at this one!

The same was said about Hungary, it was hot there too but Brawn were way off the pace.

Having said that, this is a street circuit and we saw Jenson cruise off into the distance at Monaco.

I want to say Räikkönen...

My heart says Barrichello. My head says Kimi.

I think Lewis will have it in the bag this year.

The Ferrari isn't fast enough yet, it will be between the Mclaren and the Red Bulls with Ferrari 3rd

Remember now, Nico doesn't say that anymore, and the last person to use it was Kubica.

I agree with that, Kimi finishing 2nd at Hungary AHEAD of Webber seems to have gone un-noticed...

Hence my comment above.

I KNEW he'd cough this one up eventually.

Lewis Hamilton

“It’s great to be getting back to business after the four-week break. I’m still buzzing from the win in Hungary and I’m hopeful of being able to carry that pace into the Valencia weekend – particularly with our new upgrades to the car. It’s a very demanding circuit, the kind of place that punishes any mistakes hard. It’s quite tight and relatively slow, so it should suit our package. It’s also very difficult to overtake, as we discovered last year – but, with our KERS, Mercedes-Benz has proved that anything can happen and I’m once again hoping that it will provide the difference in the race.”

Nico should be suing these people for nicking his catchphrase.

botched pitstop and all

Kimi was doing good he looked really racey but the McLaren and Lewis had the better pace i hope it's the same again this weekend McLaren v Ferrari v Red Bull would be nice
