So who's gonna win then!

OK chaps (and chapesses),who will be victorious.I have a sneaking feeling that Williams will come away with the big 'W'.Your thoughts.

I think Fisi has a great chance, unless he has a spot of bad luck again of course. Other than that there's nothing I'd LOVE to see more than a Williams win.

The Williams is a great looking car, and I especially love the view from front on! It was looking great through the heat haze heading directly towards the camera on the main straight in qualifying!

Well, if, as the team have been suggesting, Williams have an edge in the race over qualifying then it's perfectly possible that a car from the second row will be winning tomorrow. Youngest ever race winner, or will Webber's experience show?

Fisichella will surely be in with a shout, and unless they blow up I would expect the McLarens to feature as well. Jenson I'm not sure about, and I don't know if Fernando can overcome the massive fuel load he inadvertantly will be carrying.

So that'll be me sitting on the fence then! (which is a good thing in predictability terms at least)

I agree with that. Best looking car on the grid.

Problem for JB is that he seems to have the burden of winning on his shoulders again,not that he won't mind that of course.I don't think the car is quite ready to win yet.

The Williams team were worried about qualifying,they needn't have been.http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=35315

Just because he's been very impressive so far: Nico Rosberg
Because he's more experienced than rosberg and in the same quick car: Mark Webber
Because he's IMO the quickest car/driver combo: Kimi Raikkonen

Can't really pick one, which is a good thing I guess

Dream winner would be Rosberg in the Williams. It's a big ask for the young lad though. Still it would be one in the eye for Jenson and BMW. I expect it will be one of the big three, Fernando, Kimi or Michael with Fisi as an evens bet. I will go for Fernando.

That first corner or two will be really what decides the race i think.Also there will be several more engine failures and some surprise points finishers.Still think that Williams and their awesome 'Cossie' engine will be the stars of the show.

I think this race is wide open and could be won by more than the usual suspects. I include both Webber and Rosberg in that group, Button for sure and even MS coming from behind if luck is with him. It should be a good one.

I think the best opportunity stands with Button or Rosberg, who , incidentally are both looking for their first ever GP win. I prefer Rosberg out of the two, and if he wins, you would not see me in here until my hangover would be over.

Fisi: Chuck it.

Kimi: Blow it.
Jense: Screw it.
JP: Crunch it.
Webber: Snail it.
TGF: Collect it. (the points that is)
Nico: Win it. (Dering-ding-ding, we have a (possible) winner!!)




All IMO ofcourse.

Jenson has normally gone well here in Malaysia, so he should have a chance.. but Williams look menacing for the first time in about 3 years.

My wishes for the race? Well, a BMW one-two with Jacques in front. It's my wish, not what I think will happen!

I hoping for a Webber win, imagine the build up to Melbourne if he does but he won't as unfortunatley he never gets off the line well. I'm tipping Alonso again. Very fast driver and very rarely makes mistakes.

There are far too many if's and but's to mind, which should make it a great gp. The obvious choice is Fisi, provided his car doesn't break down on him. You can't rule out Button either, although there might be a bit of a question mark over how well fuelled the car is. If you believe what Williams have said they should definitely be in with a chance for the win with either driver. Then of course assuming neither of the McLaren's blow up, they should probably be in with a shot. And then there's a heavy Alonso starting from 8th, and TGF from 10th.

This should be a very good GP.

Hang on, I've just stated the bleeding obvious, without saying who'll win
I hope Webber wins, because it'd come as a great (and welcome) surprise to a lot of people.

If Kimi's Mercedes doesn't blow up it will win. I think. But I also hope the Williams do well and MW gets a win or Nico continues his impressive F1 debut. Then again Button, Fisi, TGF and Alonso all have a shot.

I have no idea.

I believe Alonso will come through the pack and win this thing. Nobody has proven so far to be faster than him.

What will the (Aussie) media say if or when second race driver Rosberg wins and Webber doesnt, they already had a didn't expect Hedifeld on spot up further up on the podium at Monaco!

Dear oh dear. Well we will see, fingers crossed for Car #9 to win

Webber should be quick enough over the course of the race distance. Damn impressive for Rosberg, his first time on this track. I look forward to this race, and, indeed in 2 weeks time when Webber leads home a Williams 1-2 all for me to watch from the Fangio stand on pit straight!

Kimi will win this one.

Last week was a fluke. And if I`m wrong, it will be another long season for McLaren.
