Thanks for kicking off the thread Vaud
Let's hope we get an exciting Q3 as the race will probably be a procession.
ETA: I wonder if Mercedes' smooth / slow circuit tyre management issue will rear its ugly head again or whether (as Mercedes have suggested) the problem was permanently fixed between Monaco and Canada...
Even so, with all of the tight, short apex corners it could well turn out to be a Ferrari circuit.

I think the front battle is pretty straightforward between Hamilton, Vettel and Bottas (I have a sneaky feeling that it will suit Bottas)
The mid field should be very interesting.
Shame I'm missing this race as I had a VIP invite! Doh!
I quite like it as a circuit, it's a fascinating country as well.

Looking forward to some epic slip streaming. Merc will probably edge it for the race win I think. Shades of Sochi.
Force India were the quickest bar Merc in S2 last year. Would be good to see them back in a podium position, but it has to be a similarly messy race as last year for them to get a sniff, I fear.

Note to Lewis - leave the steering wheel dials alone this time!

Looking forward to seeing the straight line battle between Merc and Ferrari, keen to see Lewis have a clean race and to close the gap so seb doesn't start to run away with it, while all that's happening we'll have the McLaren reversing around the track, more displeasure over the phone from Fred

Rosberg managed to put his car in the same incorrect mode, but having done it himself he could reverse his button presses and correct the problem.
In any case, Lewis's real problem was sticking it in the wall on the Saturday.
I'm curious to see how the mid field get on, I think the Bulls may struggle again and the Force Indias will be looking to keep their points score up. I'm sure Max will be up for a scrap having had a poor run recently (not of his own doing).
