It looks like rain!!
It will be intersting to see a race under wet conditions. We haven't had one in a long while.
If it is a fully wet race then Bridgestones will have an advatange. If it is drying conditions then Michelins will have the edge
Regardless, watch The Cute, it will be a fight between him, Montoya (if wet), Raikkonen (if dry). Button will be on fire too but hopefully his engine won't 
Oh yes, Bambino driver will retire (spin if wet, worn tyres if dry), that is what the stats say 
Back to stupid means-nothing single-lap race-fuel qualifying

All I can see in my crystal ball is Kimi racing away with it again. Monty I am sure ill dissapoint, Alonso will be trying to catch Kimi and hold of the people behind him. Webber will qualify well again and loose a couple of spots at the start.
I think MS might do well here, all depends on qualifying and strategy. BAR are the unkown quantity. No idea where to put them in 8 n pole.

Yes it is looking good indeed
Remember, it is Michael's turn to retire. Tyre cooked but he ain't Alonso

I doubt the BAR will BBQ, you need to settle for a Bridgestone Stew
