Malaysian GP

[Jon325i]

Round 2 of the F1 circus is tomorrow. The Grand Prix of Malaysia will be broadcast live on SpeedChannel (10:30pm PST).

After Ferrari's dominance in Austrailia, what are people's thoughts about this next event?

The boys in red kicked butt since their Bridgestones are better adapted to cooler weather (it was unusually cold on race day in Austrailia....and its late summer for the Aussies). Going into Malaysia, its hot and humid where the Michelin tires are (statistically) better performers.

I wonder if Mercedes will have Kimi's car dialed in so he will go for more than 9 laps. Fernando's Renault is sure to be a contender....and he's on Michelin tires (I think). Will JPM and Ralf stop arguing like a couple of teenage girls on their periods? Only one way to find out......watch it.

i think ferrari will be on top, but not a 1-2. i also wouldnt be suprised if ralf finished higher than montoya again. also, i think alonso and kimi will also have decent races as long as they dont have difficulties

My bets are still on the Williams BMW. Not only because I own one, but it's because I want to see a challenge.

My money is on Ferrari, for the win.

Kinda hurts to say that, being that I'm a Williams-BMW guy first, and a Mclaren-Mercedes man second.

But he's just so damn good. Damn him. Damn him, I say!!
