Can't wait for the race to start. I already have my alarm set for early morning.

I have high hopes for Kimi, he was kicking ass in that Lotus last season. I'm eager to see how he can push the Ferrari.

I also hope Hamilton has more luck this time around.

Hahaha I think Vettel is having issues under breaking - he didnt look that confident on the track but at least they did manage 41 laps in FP2.

I will also rather loose the extra points for qualies so as to get a better guess to the results.

I see lots of complaints that the cars are not loud enough. And that Charlie Whiting and the FIA has already formulated plans for the event that the cars dont finish.
