Predictions?

I suspect that Brawn, Toyota and Red Bull will continue to do well; McLaren will make further improvements and Ferrari will finally score a point or two :D

At least it will probably be dry.
 
If it's dry (and it ought to be really!) Ferrari should get a few points. Hope they do, the championships are probably already a write-off but it would be nice if they could at least be beating McLaren!

Australia was dry and Ferrari failed to score, and Ferrari were well out of the points by the time it rained in Malaysia... I dont think a bit of sunshine will fix Ferraris chances. They need to have some improvements in the speed and reliability of the car, which im not sure they have, so im not expecting any more than a point or 2 at most.

McLaren will yet again qualify badly but move up well in the race.

Brawn will be out front, but being chased down by Toyota (in qualifying at least) and posisbly Red Bull.

Nico Rosberg will top atleast 1 or the test sessions, but will be medieocre in qualifying and the race, again.

Piquet will crash.

Leggard will talk rubbish.

But hopefully, it will be another good watch

Thought i'd do this properly as the other thread wasn't done. Hope its ok :)
So the fourth grand prix of the year goes to Bahrain. A hot dry race is expected. Brawn are still leading the championship, but the rest of the field is fast catching up. Ferrari have still yet to score a point. Lets hope for another great race.

If its dry, i expect front runners will be brawn, Toyota and red bull, and Alonso with a 1/2 a lap of fuel...

Followed by the Williams and Bmw's, then either Mclaren and Ferrari's

I'm expecting button to be on pole again due to the car seems to handle better in the dry than the wet with either sutil or vetal behind him.

Im also expecting briatorie to throw another tantrum about something...

hopefully we can have a nice dry race wiht no of race bs...
 
I made a proper thread but nobody seems to be looking so i'll post this in here.

Thought i'd do this properly as the other thread wasn't done. Hope its ok :)

In another strange decision by the FIA, they are to allow an incompetent Doctor who was suspended earlier this year for three months following the death of a patient he had examined and discharged to be responsible for the medical facilities in Bahrain - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8013037.stm.

I suspect that Dr Amjad Deeb Obaid may be related to the Al Khalifah family ;)

As a doctor at Silverstone myself, I dont think his skills in treating an injured F1 driver will be related in any way to him sending home a sickle cell patient (who subsequently died).

Seems like the FIA made a good decision for a change :)
