China 2016

Cant wait to see Hamilton storm though the field. I dont think it will be as easy as some think.

I reckon he will finish 4th behind Nico & the Ferrari's. Maybe 5th if Daniel has a good race.

When he gets to Alonzo, Fernando (a real man) will probably put him over the fence-enough with the affirnative action tuning (Nazi guilt) Formula 1 Champions.

Third is not out of the question. I'm interested to see which tire he starts on and his strategy.

I cant see him using super soft at the start. Given they seem almost useless here. Lasting a few laps. What do you reckon? The soft tyres to attack while running a decent stint, or the harder tyre to go massively long knowing he has pace on the first 10 cars he needs to pass?

I'm hoping he goes with the medium to start, However I think soft will be the choice, and then plays it by ear. He could really use a well placed safety car!

Baring any mechanical mishaps,´Hamilton will finish on the podium,. Merc has been sandbagging since day one, Rosberg's pole lap proved that. He completely messed up the first sector, but still finished half a second up on everybody. With a safety car he could even win it.

Ironic, really, that just as soon as we finally dump Bernie's daft "let's mix up the grid" qualifying demands, we have the defending champion starting at the back of the grid because of electrical issues...

In unrelated news, Mercedes are said to be looking for somebody described as a "short, white haired old man" seen sneaking out from the Mercedes garage in the early hours of the morning holding what appeared to be a spark plug.

Tough break for Lewis, but a bigger disappointment , at least in my way of thinking, was the red flag that ended q2 when we were set for a real shootout. I know Fred and Jense were very disappointed. I'll still take this system hands down.

Did Bernie visit the FI garage

Almost time for lights out bro!

So will Hamilton have a better start than before and be 10th-15th after lap 1? That would help alot, but turn one here is not slow which may harm that.

He starts on softs.

Meanwhile can the horses & Bulls stop the other silver arrow
