Voted Lewis. He has history here, and will likely be in top form

aren't they doing some in season testing this week?

I'm hoping this could tighten things further between Ferrari and MB with Red Bull close behind.

Mclaren.....not likely to have shit consolidated to one place. Voted for RIC because i expect frustrated world champs ending each others day and more weak strategy from Mercedes.

MacLaren unlikely to fix their power unit problems with a few days of testing

Agreed on the McLaren woes. The optimistic view is that they will become more reliable as the season progresses and should start scoring points around the middle to the end of season. Then again, miracles have happened with a freakish win for a backmarker. Think Button winning at the Hungaroring in 2006 and Vettel and his Toro Rosso winning at Monza in 2008. The rain conspired to put someone unexpected on the top spot.

Alonso's radio trans from Bahrain was pretty to the point. Something like "Ive never driven a car with so little power" as he diced with the Renault and Toro.

Is Putin going to lead a parade lap in the 2018 Yugo F1 car shirtless?
