Didn’t get confirmation. But it probably is no use. I just couldn’t vote for someone else then Vettel for pole and win. And for rest, well I’m still confuse…

Did get confirmation email, but no clear indication on the page.
I too had Vettel first and pole, but then decided I just want HAM to finally give a good fight and get pole and win – VET 2nd. Will give VET pole again too, perhaps, hm.

Anyone betting on a non-Seb pole?

Hamilton. He’s on it this weekend. Anyways, Seb Vettel always has something left in reserve.
Hmmm….I guess we’d just have to wait and see…

I’m hoping Hamilton takes the pole. But I’m sure that there will be less than a tenth between the two, and it can go either ways.
Whats for certain is that Button and Webber will not make it to the front row.

I’ve gone for a Vettel pole. Me and @MattHT are of the opinion that he will pull something out of the bag.
Vettel to win, JB second, Hamilton third.

Button won’t come second, he was boasting how hairy he is and that his new “for charity” moustache is growing really fast.
I reckon his crash hat will be so full of facial hair come the end of the race, he will not be able to see!!!

I didn’t get any confirmation either so probably my prediction isn’t on – damn, and this time I guessed the Pole time to 1:38.543, which is only .062 above Vettels Pole time.
I guessed
Pole: VET
Race:
VET
BUT
ALO
WEB
HAM,
just as last time, as I expect HAM to launch another overoptimistic attack on MAS, which as usual will cause problems for both of them.
But as I don’t have a confirmation of my guess, I hope my guess wouldn’t have been a winner. Last race I was among 19 players with maximum points, but my pole time was only 5th best. This time my pole time guess will be harder to beat. But again with no confirmation I can’t prove anything, Damn.
