The picks you have entered are:

Second: Jenson Button

Third: Lewis Hamilton

Fourth: Nico Rosberg

Fifth: Kimi Raikkonen

Sixth: Mark Webber

Seventh: Fernando Alonso

Eighth: Sebastian Vettel

Ninth: Sergio Perez Mendoza

Tenth: Bruno Senna

Pole: Michael Schumacher

Shot in the dark, but I'm hoping Schumacher's dire luck will have run out and he'll actually have some good luck.

I'd expect Bahrein to be warmer than China, which is bad news for Mercedes. I also expect the second pack (Red Bull, Lotus, maybe Ferrari) to be closer to McLaren in these conditions, but not sure.

Greetings, Chaps. I'm loving this year (except, of course, for the fact that Ferrari can't find a way to get out of the mid fielders

I can't even imagine how few points I got last week with me picks, but then I can't imagine anyone else did much better.

Here are my Bah Rain picks:

1. Hamilton: he was on the podium in 2010; I expect him to move up 2 steps.
2. Rosberg: in 2010 he was on the second step, too
3. Vettel: he got the pole in 2010, but this year I think Lewis will pip him
4. Schumacher: he can't have another wheel fall off, so, unless Kamui takes him out in the first turn, he should JUST miss the podium :alright:
5. Button: Bah Rain isn't his kind of circuit
6. Webber: ditto, above
7. Raikkonen: he could sneak up a couple of spots, but tyre wear will hurt him again I fear
8. Grosjean: he might even beat the Iceman again! :D
9. Maldonado: Williams in the points and no Red Cars, who would of thunk it!
10. Senna: drove a good race last week, but he'll have more competition this week
Pole: Lewis by two tenths.

Let's hope no mortars fall on the circuit, or, if they do, that they land on Bernie E!

These will have to do as I really don't have a clue.

Dear CMLEAN:

I like your picks and your faith in Fernando Alonso's brilliant driving skills.

I just couldn't bring myself to pick the Spaniard this week because I fear that Ferrari (that is FIAT) is on the skids just basking in the glo of their history, but doing nothing constructive to bring back the glory days because they lack both the money and the will to do so.

Maybe I'm wrong, but when Fernando agrees that they are sixth or seventh best it sounds to me like he's looking for another ride.

Enjoy the race; I hope you're wiser than me and the red cars will come roaring back before mid-season

Jim Watt

Thanks Jim

I do have faith in the Spaniard to extract everything that is possible out of the dog, sorry, prancing horse, that has been given to him this year. There will be improvements after they get back to Europe but all other teams will also improve. I do feel sorry for Massa though. This is a year in which he has to prove that he deserves his ride in Formula 1. Unfortunately for him, he still hasn't fully recovered after his incident and this beast will not help his cause.

Chris

I think if anyone can get something out of the Ferrari this year it will be Alonso. Unfortunately Massa has just not been able to get much out of his car this year and I fear that it may be his last chance.

It looks like Mercedes is doing very well indeed in Manama. I didn't expect this...

I have had a little confidence in the Mercedes in the past but I may have to revise my thinking in where they will finish in the top 10.

I didn't get the results from this race yet.
