Taking a break from all the talk about what will inevitably be referred to as 'fuel-gate' after this weekend, how does everyone think the race will turn out?
I'm gonna go ahead and say a 1-2 victory for Lotus, not sure which way round though, with either Maldonado or Perez taking 3rd place.
I think Webber, Button and Hamilton will be ones to watch starting from that far back, they'll be keen to carve their way through the field.
Anyway, that's my guess. What do you guys think?
Predictions for Tomorrow?

Think it's gonna be really tough for Hamilton. Overtakings almost impossible round there. Button will probably weave his magic by pitting early and cracking out the fast laps in clean air. Webber will go for a mix of Hamilton and Buttons strategy, and with a sound team behind him, I reckon he could get some decent points.
I too think the Lotuses will come strong, never discount Alonso, especially from 2nd on the grid. The prancing horse will be ridiculously wide.
Would love to see a Williams on the podium.

Button will sort out his gremlins with the car and win the race.
Either that or he will get stuck in the midfied, leaving me red faced

Would love to see hammy fight his way through for some good points but can only see maybe a 9th or 10 place for him if he keeps his head. 1.Mal 2. Vet 3.Gros

It's a notoriously difficult track to overtake on. Do you know if Hamilton can choose the tyre to start the race with, if he can, he may be the one to watch.
I expect a Lotus win though. RedBull's pace in Bahrain was an anomaly, Barcelona shows the quality of the cars and they aren't as dominant.
I wonder how Mclaren will destroy their drivers races tomorrow.
I'll place a cheeky bet on a wheel nut not coming off

Except it rains or there is a pile up taking out the other cars. Button will not win the race. No way in hell

Hamilton can start on whatever tyre he chooses according to the rule book but that is in the remit of the stewards and god knows what they will decide they might say that he qualified in the top ten so has to use those tyres.
