Here are my guesses for Malaysia:
Winner: Sebastian Vettel
Second: Fernando Alonso
Third: Mark Webber
Fourth: Kimi Raikkonen
Fifth: Lewis Hamilton
Sixth: Felipe Massa
Seventh: Nico Rosberg
Eighth: Nico Hulkenberg
Ninth: Romain Grosjean
Tenth: Sergio Perez
Pole: Sebastian Vettel

I'm assuming it'll be dry. If it isn't then we could have a crazy result, as per last year.

I predict a repeat of last podium

Ferrari and Lotus are the best teams in the race, Red Bull and Mercedes are close.

I think Force India and Torro Rosso are in good position too. McLaren is an unknown, don't expect them to bounce yet.

Well, it's a good thing I'm an old hand at this. When you guys created the new Pole'NTen site, you forgot to add a link back to the forum, of if you didn't, I couldn't find it.

Last week, I was out of town and so didn't make my picks; the race was a good one, tho' I think that tyres that only last five to fifteen laps, no matter how much grip they give, are a huge step backwards!

Anyway, here's this week's picks for Malaysia:

Winner: Seb Vettel (I expect Newey will have found a solution to the tyre problem)
Second: Kimi Raikkonen (I believe Kimi already has a solution to the tyre problem)
Third: Lewis Hamilton (no reason; just a hunch. Lewis likes Maylaysia)
Forth: Fernando Alonso (can't ever leave him out of the top five)
Fifth: Mark Webber (if he can get off the mark for ****'s sake!)
Sixth: Felipe Massa (Mr. Solid; I'd love to see him win just to confound things even more!)
Seventh: Romain Grossjean (should score points)
Eighth: Nico Rosberg (still not sure about him; this season should tell)
Ninth: Adrian Sutiil (hope he gets a better ride soon)
Tenth: Nico Hulkenberg (same as above)

Pole: Seb Vettel (he just keeps adding to his score!)

Best Scenario: rain in the middle of the race and slow drying for second half.

cheers!

I have the pole part correct. Let's see if Kimi can come from 10th on the grid to take another win.
