Absolute guesswork, given how close everything appears to be:
Winner: Kimi Raikkonen
Second: Sebastian Vettel
Third: Sergio Perez
Fourth: Fernando Alonso
Fifth: Romain Grosjean
Sixth: Lewis Hamilton
Seventh: Valterri Bottas
Eighth: Jenson Button
Ninth: Mark Webber
Tenth: Nico Hulkenberg
Pole: Sebastian Vettel

Yes I do like Romain

Winner: Fernando Alonso
Second: Romain Grosjean
Third: Sebastian Vettel
Fourth: Mark Webber
Fifth: Sergio Perez
Sixth: Kimi Raikkonen
Seventh: Lewis Hamilton
Eighth: Felipe Massa
Ninth: Jenson Button
Tenth: Adrian Sutil
Pole: Fernando Alonso

Ugh. Looks like (admittedly at an early stage) another dreary period of Vettel dominance.

And McLaren appear to be behind their rivals. Given there are 4 other fast teams this could ruin their title hopes, if they keep finishing 9th or lower.

Hey, I hope you're right about Lotus on the podium!

I am not that optimistic :
