This is my top 8. I might change the order, but not the people on the list.

1: FA - It wont be easy, but hard to tip against.
2: MSchumi - He is back and will be up here
3: JPM - Will out drive Kimi
4: MW - Fastest car, will qualify well, but be a bit conservative on the engine in the heat. He is setting himself up for a big one in Oz.
5: Kimi - good racer, will have a great tussle with MW but lose.
6: Nico - Will set the fastest lap again, but will make the odd mistake.
7: Massa - Good car. Just keep out of trouble Filippe.
8: Button - #$@#$ cant blame the clutch this time.

Pole: Schumi. He'll run light to make sure he gets the record.

A bit of trivia for you all.

In 2005, I compared the fastest lap time with the 10th fastest lap time throughout the season.

The smallest gap between p1 and p10 was actually Australia where the gap was 0.944 seconds. The average difference over the whole year is 1.490 seconds and Bahrain was 1.640 seconds.

In Bahrain the gap between p1 and p10 was 0.804! Half that of last year.

The Williams, Ferrari, Honda, and Mclaren are closely matched. Good times!

Winner: Fernando Alonso - Just can't go past him
Second: Michael Schumacher - Should be another close one. MS definitely has the pace
Third: Kimi Raikkonen - Is still the quickest driver on the planet. Using JV's logic if he had of started on pole in Bahrain he would have lapped everyone
Fourth: Mark Webber - Car will be alot healthier after his conservative race.
Fifth: Jenson Button - Has one of the quickest cars on the track
Sixth: Nico Rosberg - I like this kid. Drove his guts out in Bahrain
Seventh: Juan Pablo Montoya - Bahrain was a let down. Can still win races.
Eighth: Giancarlo Fisichella - I'm betting on that Piano narrowly missing him in Malayasia

Pole: Fernando Alonso - I want to pick Kimi but not convinced the McLaren will make it without blowing up.

Williams have stated that they will have new aero bits for Malaysia, which have been throughly tested. Sam reckons the car will be quicker. :lol:
