    1. I think that Lewis is taking this one – Schumacher in top 5.

      We shall see.

      Best of luck everyone!

    2. Place 1 seems easy, places 2,3,4,5 are really difficult, Webber should have a car advantage which should give him 2nd. but Button may be able to make the options last longer and both Lewis and Fernando have the raw pace to get on Vettels tail and stay there.

    3. I feel strangely confident this week, unfortunately I imagine it’s going to be high scores all round.

    4. Vettel to win, Fernando 2nd, Webber 3rd, Lewis 4th, Michael 5th.

    5. Vettel, Hamilton, Alonso, Webber, Button.

      Also Vettel on pole

    6. Pole: 1.11.736 by Jermoe D’Ambrosio

      1) Timo Glock
      2) Narain Karthikeyan
      3) Pastor Maldonado
      4) Danial Ricciardo
      5) Jermoe D’Ambrosio

      Jermoe dropped to fith due to a minor collision with Alonso when the Ferrari was being lapped, causing a right rear punture to the Virgin car.

      YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST….

      1. I might be a little off, so I’ll settle for second place prize and have the mugs. Don’t worry Keith :)

      2. Nah. You’ve got third and fourth places the wrong way round.
        Amateur.

      3. I think you’ve got the pole time wrong, it should be over 1:18, plus I can’t see Williams being on the podium in this race, they’re not fast enough…

      4. Dude, it’s DENIAL Ricciardo.

    7. Hmmm. I’ve selected Vettel in first, second, third, fourth and fifth place. One of them must be right.
      Oh, and pole too.

      Hamilton, vettel, alonso, webber, rosberg :)

    9. My chances in the virtual championship are so small, I’ve got to take a risky approach.
      My pole goes to HAM, but he and Vettel will crash together early on.
      1. ALO
      2. BUT
      3. WEB
      4. SCH
      5. ROS

      1. An interesting approach. I would hope that they could at least take Webber out as well so Schumacher could get on the podium… :)

        1. No! Webber to WIN! lol. Schumacher can come 3rd, with Kobayashi in 2nd. Nobody is getting passed those two haha.

    10. Is this the only race entirely won by more than one world champion, but with no other winners (since it was counted as a championship round in 2008)?

      Abu Dhabi has only been won by Vettel.

      1. And if Vettel wins two more races he’s champion anyway, which is VERY likely given what happened last year.

    11. Gonna need a big collapse from the frontrunners in the standings to get me near the prize this year….ah well! I’m sensing Hamilton wont finish this weekend, although I’ll probably not dare omit him from my top 5 though!

      1. I put him 5th. Given his race approach this year and a tight-as-hell street circuit he could be his own worst enemy this weekend.

    12. I predict a pole of 1:44.95, with Vettel on pole.

      For the race, it’s going to be Vettel, Alonso, Hamilton, Webber, Button

    13. Hi Keith,

      I’ve just entered my predictions, and I got the ‘Your entry has been saved’ message, but no confirmation email.

      I’m assuming everything is okay, just thought I’d let you know.

      Thanks,

      Nathan

      1. Update: Confirmation email just arrived, no problem! :)

    14. Pole Time – 01:44.845
      Pole – Mark Webber
      Position 1 – Lewis Hamilton
      Position 2 – Jenson Button
      Position 3 – Sebastian Vettel
      Position 4 – Michael Schumacher
      Position 5 – Mark Webber

      Think Mark will have a lousy start again but will edge pole. Ferrari may have a ‘mare. Who knows!?

    15. Vettel pole, Vettel win.

      RBR lockout, Button 3rd, Alonso 4th, Hamilton 5th.

      1. Same as I guessed, in hindsight I see we got Webber turned a knob down, but 24 points – not bad.
