Don't forget to place your predictions!

So, what do you reckon will happen?

Hopefully another good race in Singapore.
Vettel will win but not the championship here....
But next round yes... and then its time to see who will get 2nd in the end. We got 4 drivers for this battle.

I can't see past a Vettel win here. Alonso is electric around Singapore but doesn't have the equipment to challenge for the win, whilst I'm not confident on McLaren's chances - Hamilton is off form whilst this isn't really a Button track. Mercedes will probably be awful around here because of the tyres. High brake wear might be crucial though, something that amazingly is still Mark Webber's most recent mechanical inflicted retirement, when in 2009 his brakes failed. Singapore induces brake problems so that could be something to look out for.

Full agreement with phil, even me feels no competition for RBR. No matter how much thrust Alonso or Lewis or n1 brings in. It would be difficult to beat RBR (Vettel).

Something like ...
RBR ahead by +5~10s
Mclaren closely followed by
Ferrari

I thought they were supposed to be changing the layout for this year or are they waiting to see if KERS/DRS make a difference and if not, change it next year?

BBC are notorious for calling it before it happens

You can forget that, they were planning to do some modifications around turns 7-9.

I expect Ferrari to test 2012 parts on their cars in the next races.

I reckon we'll see all the top teams doing so, as Vettel has the WDC pretty much in the bag and a strong lead for RBR in the WCC.

Rain is expected for the GP

Pre-Singapore GP: My Open Letter to Michael Schumacher:
http://wp.me/p10DmM-e2

I'd have written a slightly shorter letter saying give it up, you'll never win again
You've had your time. Now it's time for someone else.

The weekend has got off to a good start for Heikki...

"Soo frustrating I've lost all my luggage & clubs BA lost them somewhere so got nothing here in Singapore now with me..."

Vettel can become Champion with the same result as in Abu Dhabi 2010...
