1. Michael Schumacher
2. Jenson Button
3. Kimi Raikkonen

So far no surprises! It's going to be another Mclaren vs Red Bull bout to the finish.
My guess on the top 5 for the race:
1. Hamilton
2. Button
3. Schumacher
4. Vettel
5. Webber
I really hope I'll be wrong though. I really want Alonso & Kimi to be up there. If they both can pull ahead out of midfield like they did in Aussie, shit's going to get good real fast!!!

I'd love kimi to be in 3rd, but the drivers ahead of him will duel him to the bitter end and won't just let him pass. In all that dueling he's probably going to lose precious time that he won't be able to recover even when he gets clear air.
The Redbull, Mclaren and Mercedes cars are just superior to the Lotus, so albeit driver error such as some bad mayhem into the 1st turn or if someone else stalls on the launch lol it's just not going to happen. Kimi gaining 7 positions in aussie (like Alonso) was remarkable but that's amongst the midfielders and not the top dogs. It's a completely different pace up top and I don't think the Lotus car has it.

I played the SkyHD mkv download on my HDTV last weekend at my parents' house, and my dad made numerous comments about the quality looking much better than his typical SPEEDHD tv coverage that he's accustomed to watching. I'm not sure why Sky's coverage looks better, but I think there's a difference between the 2 networks. As far as the frame rate, I only know that Sky's HD coverage that I've downloaded has been at 50fps. I'm not sure what SPEED's coverage is rated at.

After Rosberg's lightning quick start in Australia I suspect Michael might have something to say about the McLaren's getting to turn 1 first. If he does get the lead there I think it will be a tire issue for him and that eventually the McLaren's will have the edge. It would not surprise me if they finish the way that they start. Kimi will be good for 5th or so which is disappointing as without his penalty he would probably be a podium contender. One of the RedBull drivers might have the speed to sneak onto the podium in Jenson's place - we will have to see.
