I expect all drivers to be especially careful on that first lap. I'm sure each team has drilled into each driver the fact that such conduct is not desired.
So my guess is two for the first lap.
But I definitely expect more nose contact problems as the race progresses.
Racing should be decided on the track, not the court room.

I almost want to ask how many rear tires will blow during the entire race.

Bold as I wanna be. Not satisfied with merely saying three, I will with greatest accuracy pick them too:
Hamilton, Rosberg(unless on pole) and finally our Jense.

What's wrong with you people? Has everyone forgot that besides Nakajima, Button and Hami we still have Fisico and Piquet? And how about Massa? Sure he was great last year, but also horrible at times.. And you could add Webbo to lose his just out of bad luck (maybe running over a boomerang which will be thrown in the track by a sudden tornado, or by that cameraman someone mentioned..). I go for 7 minimum.

3. Then again i'm conservative. I wouldn't have guessed only 7, one disqualify included, out of 22 would have finished last years race :D

I think Nakajima was and will be unbeatable in that field.
Both of them trashed uncountable wings and nosecones. And they're from the same team so Williams is the team that has the most trashed wings and nosecones------probably equal to a big percent in their budget :wtf:
