Got to go for a Brawn victory on this - I don't think the Red Bulls will even be their main challengers. Brilliant in the rain, but nothing special in the dry - so far. Maybe after Barcelona they'll step it up a gear.
Hoping for a bit more from McLaren this weekend and more of the same from Ferrari

That looks like a seriously fast track, 3 good long straights then 1 medium sized one.

Cars use around 2.6 kg/lap at Bahrain.

Will be interesting to see how the Brits do then, as they have exactly the same fuel load, just different cars.
Think Button might have Vettel early on, but it could be interesting if Sebastian can keep Button behind him, as he can stay out longer.

Heres to a good race!

I think Button will have more issues with Hamilton and his KERS system before he can start worrying about Vettel, who certainly has potential to be very quick.
