****SPOILER******

Masa wins, Hami crashes on turn 1

[Barrister]

It will be hard for Lewis to crash in turn 1 when he will be on the pole.

Will the polesitter win the race? Will be interesting to see. I am also looking forward to all of the lead changes and passing these rules are supposed to bring on.....

Let's just hope there isn't any rain. I don't need another ballerina performance from Massa.

With more passing, more drivers being aggressive... will it be a crash fest like last year? Only like 6 or 7 cars finished!

On a side note... Lets go LEWIS!!!!!!!!!
