The Bahrain Pole Poll
So another race weekend is upon us and as the Times had it yesterday, "Don't mention the phwoar".
On the track you'd probably expect the Ferrari's to go well here this weekend. They often do Massa got pole, fastest lap and won last year and they and Toyota were the only teams to test here during the off season. But actually it looks like Ferrari and McLaren might have traded circuits this year as each have shifted their wheelbases. So all is not certain.
The only thing that is crucial is that Massa get of the marks. If he doesn't score any points before F1 reaches Europe his credibility will have taken a huge knock. Even Michael Schumacher (normally a fan) has said that Massa has already used up all of his jokers and he kind of reminded everyone that he's always really preferred Vettel. I'm sure this has made Massa feel no pressure at all going into this weekend.
But where will everyone shake out? That's the question for all of you. Qualifying is at 11:10 am BST tomorrow and before then we want to know your Pole Man and your prediction of the top eight for the race. Good luck.

It really does seem tougher this year. Aside from the McLarens and Ferraris, which could appear in any order, you then can't really tell who's going to have the edge of the midfield teams, or the different driver pairings.
Nonetheless, for me, on pole: Massa.
Then:
1. Massa
2. Raikkonen
3. Hamilton
4. Kubica
5. Rosberg
6. Alonso
7. Nakajima
8. Coulthard
Crazy prediction of the week: the guy on pole wins the race.

Hello again everybody. I'll be missing the first half of my beloved Arsenal tomorrow to watch qualifying, so it better be good! A bit of a dent in the car of young Lewis may cause him issues for tomorrow and Sunday, so he doesn't get in my podium points this week:
Pole - Massa
1.Kimi
2.Massa
3.Kovalainen
4.Rosberg
5.Hamilton
6.Kubica
7.Nakajima
8.Trulli
My crazy prediction of the weekend - Contraband to win The National at a massive 500-1. Almost tempted to put 50p on it!

GrifF1 I think if fourstar remembers to post here you will have found a new friend!
Sadly I think he will probably be watching the football!

Hey, griff1 - another Gooner! I shall be streaming the Arsenal to my laptop via a dodgy Russian site whilst watching qualifying and the telly. Unless Freyja wants to have 'Charlie & Lola' on. Or Solveig is on eBay. Or we're all buying sofas in Bromley.
Come on you Reds...
*sigh*

Hey - fourstar
I'm all set here. Qualifying on the TV in the lounge; live timings on my laptop; SS1 on the TV in the conservatory - just loud enough to hear any yelling from the fans; almost time to crack my first Stella of the day, so I'm good to go...
Oh no, what about the FAcup semi??? not enough media outlets to cope with this kind of weekend!
2-1 to "The Arsenal"... C'mon!

Hey Fourstar - and at the risk of the others accusing us of hijacking an F1 site for the purpose of talking footie;
I know mate, I know. Even Stella couldn't help numb the pain. And as for the semi-final, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than watch those two play each other again.
The moment to treasure - Theo was a legend, best assist all season.
