Let me see, Vettel starts from pole, makes over a second lead by the time the DRS gets turned on.
Button laps like a metronome and turns up at the end in second place.
Massa and Hamilton have an argument and ruin each others race.
Webber starts close to the front and is 6th by the 1st corner and then becomes an also ran.
Alonso it all depends on how he feels as to where he finishes.
Rosberg will qualify 7th
Schumacher if nothing goes wrong will qualify behind Nico and finish in front of him.
The Force India's can not be bothered to waste fuel or tires in Q3 so they see out the top 10.
At the back of the grid will be Heikki ahead of Jarno "the power steering is crap" Trulli.
Followed by the Virgins and the HRT's
So who else will be loose in Q1... I would say a Williams
