After a great qualifying session, the race itself is up next!

The race will begin at 5:00 am PST (8:00 am EST).

Don't forget to move your clocks forward 1 hour before you go to bed tonight.

Let's all be here live to watch the race and get some banter on!

Here are the starting positions for the race:



I'll see you here tomorrow when the lights go out!!

 

Can't wait - now if Schumi can find that elusive 1.5 seconds... If Vettel drives with his head, he will win this race. This track certainly favors the pole-sitter.

 

Damn, I was looking forward to this race for awhile but my gf's house doesn't have speed channel.... I might have to get up in the morning and go home for a while.

 

I can't wait for the race and to learn more about this years strategies.

the paddock today was crazy, almost all F1 drivers who are still breathing are in Bahrain, Mika, Alan Prost, Damon Hill, Jackie Stewart, Mario Andretti, and Emerson Fittipaldi just to list a few, I mean you name the driver or F1 big name and they were there.

so do you guys think qualifying tells the whole story or we're going to see defrent faces on the podium tomorrow?

 

Looking at the sector times it is clear that most of the field are yet to nail Sector 2. Only 0.4s between 1st and 10th in S1, 0.3s between 1st and 10th in S3 but 1.5s between 1st and 10th in S2!

While I think the top ten are the fastest guys on the track, I expect the lap times to improve under race conditions later in the race with lower fuel loads. Vettel's race pace may not be the fastest?

 

hopefully Speed will be synced with whatever channel the foreigners are watching

vettel will not finish the race.

 

BIG call!

But not entirely out of the question, I agree, Vettel has been known to have a brain-snap

 

I almost spilled my juice all over my MBP! and I hope speed will be up to speed as well.

 

He can't. 1.5 s is too big of a gap.

 

so live feed online tomorrow at 8am EST? see you all in 9.5 hours
