Quick turnaround from Malaysia to Shanghai in just a week's time!
With Red Bull's, or more specifically, Sebastien Vettel's hot streak, do you think they'll continue the momentum or will the McLarens that have been nipping at his heals for the past two weeks finally triumph?

A lot of that will depend on a) if the Red Bulls can work out their KERS problems on this track that has the longest straight they'll see all season and b) if McLaren's new parts are in fact beneficial if they arrive in time. The gap is closing, I wouldn't be surprised to see Lewis on pole this race.

^What he said. I would like to see Schumi a little closer to pole as well. Either way I think I have my fantasy line up set. Bring on Shanghai!

1125m straight and 902m of DRS, should be some interesting over takes one can assume

I don't know why they don't make DRS available for the entire straight. If the point is to increase overtaking, then why not?

The driver should be able to use it when he feels it's necessary. Fia needs to keep their noses out of it.
