Doesn't matter as long as the winning car is red with a yellow shield on the side.

I expect it will be Vettel. I fear the competition won't be as close this year as it was last year, though. As Vettel and the Red Bull team mature they're only going to get better and better.

Full time job + full time school + a fleet of cars/trucks/trailers to maintain = takes me two weeks to finish practice-debrief-qual-race-windtunnel.

But by the end of the season, I'm so far behind I have enough racing left over to make it through the offseason.

You have a night job?? Practice starts at 1:30am EST!

If you were betting, Vettel and Alonso probably have the best odds.

Personally, I'll be routing for Shuey, Kobayashi, Weber and Hamilton, in the order...

Can't wait!!

A home race win for Mark Weber. He's earned it. It just hasn't happened yet.
