Glad to see we are all anxious to get going. Let's get to racing!

I've been waiting for this thread since I found out the race was this weekend (I think that was Monday!)

I think Schumi will get into the top 10 (did he finish 10th in Australia?) easily and actually get some points this week, but I don't think he'll have a really big push for the podium.

I think Lewis has a good chance this week too. He obviously wasn't the only one driving really well in Australia, but he's definitely needs to back up all his statements "blaming" the team for him not getting on the podium. Like I said after Australia, unless something drastic happens I'm keeping Hamilton, Massa, and Alonso.

My picture hosting site is down right now. Frustrating.

It will be back up soon - or so they say.

I call him Michael the most Schumi irks me for some reason.
it would be almost foolish to think Schumacher won't do well at Sepang.
Michael like a true champ thrives under pressure, I don't expect a win but I'm thinking podium

I am expecting McLaren to be strong in Malaysia. The hp advantage they've had has been frightening. This is a fast circuit, the long straights will suit them.

I think Hamilton will take the top spot. Schumi and Alonso on the podium. I think Vettel is gonna choke again. I think Kob-salad or Sutil will give a surprise run as well.

I'm thinking the same too, I expect Shummi to be faster than the past 2 races as well, but no podium, third place is a toss up between Alonso and Rosberg.

OK Yoda, what should we call him? (does it matter?)

Are we going to get into a "i've been following F1 for ...." competition?

I believe people started calling him 'Michael' to differentiate from his little brother Ralf. (or weren't you following F1 then?)
