I'm going with Schumacher - having a fresher engine than all of the other front runners is going to be a big advantage in the muggy heat of Malaysia.

I voted for Kimi because I want him to win. Its hard to say without any qualifying and stuff going on yet. But since he started from the pit and still finished in the points I thought that showed a lot in his last performance.

Fisi thinks he's a badass because he predicted he'd win, but in truth, he got lucky as all hell in qualifying. Almost all of his main competition got hosed by the rain and he was the only "front runner" who went out on the dry track. I think one of the Mclaren's will give him/Renault a run for their money (they did beat them in the final saturday morning practice) if they have the same practice conditions.

Montoya!

He an Kimi both had the fastet cars during the qualifying last round. I think the new aero package actually made passing More difficult. So if Montoya or Kimi qualify at the front they should be able to stay there.

Well, another race come & gone. Mclaren didn't look so hot, Kimi's got an excuse , but what's wrong with JPM? Is it me or is he not as aggressive as last year?

JPM flat-spotted a front tire in the beginning of the race, apparantly gave the car a vibration so bad he could barely see. Fourth wasn't too bad under those conditions.
