With some inclement weather predicted for this weekend, this could shape to be an interesting race.
The Mercedes train should again march on however Lewis should bounce back following his unfortunate engine failure in Malaysia.
I have again picked Sebastian Vettel for the lowest rung of the podium but this isn't a confident choice. The Red Bulls are now showing some real pace and following their recent 1, 2 finish at Malaysia, are real candidates to to upset the Mercedes juggernaut. Chuck in Kimi for the last of the top 6.
The Force India's are near the next best but the McLaren of Alonso should again show its recent improvements and again finish in the bottom half of the top 10.
