Alonsa disappointing, sorry Duffy! No points for my second place with Hamilton though.

McLaren would appear to be the ones hiding their potential in pre-season testing with the Red Bulls and Ferraris seemingly well ahead on mileage, reliability and speed. The race will feature accidents I fear – an adjustable rear wing, the return of KERS and crap tyres will lead to a rash of different strategies and therefore cars with different levels of grip. Strategy will win out over driver control perhaps – and Ferrari have nicked the top Red Bull strategist after their woeful performance in that field last year. Vettel is the obvious choice, I would have picked Lewis but instead I shall perhaps revert to “voting” instead of “betting” and go for Alonso.
Join in and try and beat us – it isn’t hard!

Vettel is the obvious choice then, I’m going to gamble on McLaren pulling something out of the bag though, and of the two Hamilton is most likely to handle the new changes and Button’s tyre control seems not to be such an advantage. So, Hamilton then, probably a bad move!
