    1. Nothing particular for me: the usual top 5:
      Vet (pole) Ham But Alo Web.
      Pole record for SV.

    2. Yeah, I am hoping for Vettel pole also!
      My strategy for this race is VET, BUT, ALO, WEB, SCH.

      And since I’m on a PC instead of iphone, I got the confirmation again, so I’m still in for the mug!

    3. Hope Hamilton will be on pole then Vettel, Webber, Alonso, Button

    4. Went for a bit of wishlist rather than a money-on-the-table prediction. Webber for pole (wet weather time difficult to predict) and the win. Still, this seems to be one of his better circuits, so why not?

    5. DRS to win again, followed by KERS. In third place Pirelli super softs and then the Pirelli hard. Last place goes to forward exhaust…

    6. How does the weather look for quali?

      1. Weather for :
        Qualifying – Sunny spells
        Race – Rain
        See here – http://www.formula1.com/default.html
        on the right hand side of the page.

    7. My predictions …
      Pole : 1:11.850
      Pole – Hamilton
      Race winner – Hamilton
      2nd- Vettel
      3rd- Alonso
      4th- Webber
      5th- Button

      Enjoy the qualifying & the race guys !

      1. We’re close to agreeing on pole time I see, although the clever thing to do is obviously to wait until FP3 :D

    8. Got a good feeling on Schumacher for a podium! 25/1, I like those odds :D

    9. One wonders whether this might perhaps be MSC’s last GP start… Am looking forward to Keith dragging out all our pre-season predictions.

      I went for the obvious pole and winner, head over heart as it were (I was sooooo tempted to put Barichello down for a pole, given last year and his likely chances of racing at Interlagos in an F1 car again)

      The end of the season is here :(

      1. Schumacher won’t give up now. It’s been noticeable that since the change of engineers his race pace has been consistently improving. After two years he’s finally starting to get some of the racing he wants, and I highly doubt he’ll turn his back until he sees at least one success from Mercedes.

    10. ive gambled on a wet race and quali!

      HAM pole
      Top 5 :
      1. Ham
      2. Web
      3. MSC
      4. Alo
      5. Sut

      If it pays off i’ll be surprised!

    11. Sorry but the thrill is gone. Hulkenberg to abduct Maldonado and hope to retain his Williams glory, Webber for pole, safety car for fastest lap, Hamilton and Vettel DNF…

      The real winners:
      Sebastian Vettel
      Dietrich Mateschitz
      Christian Horner

    12. Happens every time. I make all my predictions and when I submit I get ‘you must be logged in’ and I have to start over. So annoying,

    13. I hope it’s a lot closer than my prediction seems to imply…

    14. Done! Last one of the season :(

      Vettel on pole. Vettel to win. Hamilton and Button to follow on the podium with Alonso and Webber in tow.

      Fingers crossed I can go out with a bang!

    15. Gone for a Massa win. It’s the last race and I had to!
