Desperately hoping for rain, but think it's going to be yet another race where we're waiting for rain that never comes.

It was the same last year when rain was 100% for the race and it never came :p

I hope it's decided fairly.

So long as there is no purpose crashing; its all fair. Mechanical failures are the same, its fair.

I just wonder... could Webber be less than accommodating and Vettel be a bit too inpatient to pass him...? That would be something. :p

Webber will race for himself, unless the team tells him otherwise. What I mean is, he won't let Vettel through unless it's crucial but he's not going to defend like a maniac.

Also the last race for Jake and Will :(

Its weird that we could be losing a 3rd of the grids drivers; Bruno, narain, pedro, vitaly, Heikki, Kamui.... still no confirmation of Grosjean or Maldanado either.

Grosjean and Maldonado will stay.

It's never nice to see guys say goodbye, but at least there are some talented guys coming through such as Bottas and Gutierrez. The standard in F1 is higher than it's ever been - pretty much all of the midfield could win races in the right equipment; it's not like in the 1990s when you had the top 3 or 4 and then pretty much no depth to the field.

Quite a lot of drivers go every year though - at the end of 2011 it was the end for 5 or 6 drivers - Sutil, Trulli, Liuzzi, Barrichello, Buemi, Alguersuari.
