No point in watching, Vettel will win comfortably...again!

That's how F1 works. I ALWAYS watch

[spankyham]

Red Bull are on a roll similar to McLaren's roll around Hungary. But, as we have seen all season, those rolls can change suddenly. The F2012 has proven itself to be strong in recent races so, I think we are in for a good race and, I'm sure the Ferrari team will be doing all they can to take it up to the Bulls in the last 4 races of the season.

What I read from Korea, the Bulls have about .250 advantage whilst the F2012 has a tire advantage.

In terms of upcoming races, I think none of the remaining 4 races will favour the Bulls as much as Korea did. Certainly I'd say Brazil will favour the F2012 as I think the US circuit will. Also, rain anytime should also favour the Ferrari.

Whatever happens, I hope we aren't further robbed of any good racing between the contenders from incidents like we've see at Spa Japan and Korea.

Vijay Mallya will be hiding in the Safety Car's trunk.

Really..what are they using as a Safety Car this time, a Mercedes truck?

Can Alonso catch up?

Unlikely without a retirement or mechanical issue with Vettel's car.

Can Vettel saty ahead?

Very likely baring any mechanical issues.

Will Button find some grip?

Button had plenty of grip in Korean until he got Crashi-bashi'ed!

Will Eddie Jordan wear a normal shirt?

About as much chance as the world ending on December 21, 2012!

Predictions for this race...

Vettel wins without trouble...but Redbull will be in heated conversation with him on the last 5 laps.

If Webber qualifies on pole, he'll make it another Redbull 1-2. If not, he could end up anywhere.

Button and all the McLaren engineers find some grip to end up third

Alonso taking the Ferrari as fast as it can go and ends up just few seconds behind Button

Massa continues to impress by not 'staying too close' to the Ferrari rooster.

Hulkenberg puts a small smile on Mallya's face by beating Saubers.

Perez gets some points

Kobayashi impresses (this is more of a personal hope) and ends up right behind Perez!

Hamilton heroically, epic-ly, and majestically finishes 9th this time with a broken front suspension

Maldonado gets another point!!!

[racechick]

you think front suspension for Hamilton this time. Go vote on my poll! I Think you have the race sorted, I might not bother watching now Oh just tell me what happens to the Mercedes.....Im taking renewed interest in them

[LewEngBridewell]

Merc will be lucky to make the points

Merc will be lucky to make the points

No one cares. Even Merc and their drivers don't care anymore.

[racechick]

I guess they're focusing on next year and the year after, understandable.

[vlad]

Let's be honest, they are ALWAYS focusing on the next year, and even when they start it good, they blew it up later in the season...

[racechick]

Bit like McLaren then really. But Mercedes do have the excuse that they've only been in F1 for three years. mcLaren don't have that excuse.

[f1boy]

McLaren are full of emotional men all worrying and feeling insecure imo.

Like i've said before, I think they'd rather lose a championship then have Lewis win, because he's leaving them and they feel bitter and fragile about the situation. Button's about as much use a chocolate fireguard, which makes matters worse.

Emotional people can't run an F1 team, as F1 teams require professional's who don't make desisions based on how they are feeling. They make desisions based on how best to win.

Mercedes have been in F1 a lot longer than 3 years! You can trace this team back to 1999 when BAR entered F1. If you want to be really pedantic about it you could kind of say that this team stems from Tyrrell.

How many year's did it take Red Bull to become a championship winning team ?
in all their different incarnations
