Remember kids , Red Bull has both the downforce and speed due to their new DDRS system.
The championship is over.
I said "Championship over" waaay back in March in the RedBull thread, and I was reprimanded and my comment deleted. Ironic isn't it?
I can understand being reprimanded for calling the season so soon. But deleted comment? really? was in the RB8 thread? Odd.
Anyhoo. I'm predicting that the Lotus passive DRS (aka "the Device" aka "DDRS" aka "PDRS") will still have issue in setup, putting them lower in the final order compared to Mcl, RB, and Ferrari.
With any luck, Lotus will have issue in qualifying, putting RG further back in the top 10 (see? I am not saying that he isn't fast, I just don't want him near Webber and Vettel...).
For his own sake, I hope Massa can out qualify and finish higher than Alonso this time around on his own merits.
Ideally: Red Bull 1-2 lights to flag.
Realistically:
1. Vettel/Hamilton (looking for Vettel to take this one)
2. Hamilton/Alonso
3. Button/Alonso/Webber
4. Alonso/Webber/Raikkonen
Dark horses are Sauber if they can get the tires smoothed out for longer.
Don't think Mercedes will have their "device" set up properly to be utilized.
Force India and Williams will duke it out with Mercedes to fill out the lower points positions.
