hard to really say... not sure if the McLaren's are going to be ready on time... and Ferrari has been having some reliability issues also.. i wouldnt be surprised to see Alonso take the first win again

as long as the McLarens dont die out before the end of the race.. i think they are going to be strong competitors

I hate to say it, but I think Renault will continue their ways. Also, the Japanese teams (Honda and Toyota) not Super Aguri, will be strong this year. The early races are all about reliability in the current engines. Honda and Toyota have been develping and testing their V-8's for a long time.

Having said all that, go Juan Pablo!!!!!

Hey guyz, since its the first race of the season and the best, I hope that Mclaren is going to have a good and strong start. After all Bahrain is my home town, so let's hope its going to be the best race in the season. Enjoy and if anyone gets a chance please come and I'll gurantee you'll have a blast!

You posted pics from last year's race, right? If so, I so would like to go there with you. If not, you need to look up that guy! He has incredible access.

And yeah F1 will be good, although I hope the Alonso going to McLaren thing doesn't demotivate drivers (Alonso for leaving, Gordo for getting the boot, and Kimi for being secure in his seat).

JPM play nice

I'll be the bad guy and hope that JPM can keep his cool, and not pull a bonzai, "I own the road once I've passed you move."
