Obligatory, too early for weather forecast. If it rains RB should be happy.
Will Toro Rosso question fuel flow technique and use their own in Malaysia?

Too early for weather forecasts, but Mercedes have shown they are fast in wet and dry, so its a case of reliability holding up, all that will change is battle for 3rd and beyond, just a prediction though.

If it rains this will help teams like RB to keep the temperatures at a good level, so they could battle for the victory. Because being Mercedes the fatest team in both conditions it seemed that the difference under rain conditions was not that big.

Anyway it can rain heavily as it usually happens in Malaysia, so expect some chaos, and in that case, Button emerging from nowhere, as always.

Button has always been poor in full wet condition. If it's changing conditions, then yes, you are right.

Malaysia is very tricky in that regard. It'll always rain during the weekend, but nobody knows when. Last year mercedes gambled that a larger part of the race would be run the wet, with the known result of being heavily hampered on fuel near the end of the race. Equally in 2009 they had to halt the race after 33 laps.

When it rains, it rains hard. very hard. But equally if it stops the track will dry very very fast. Whoever gets it right, is downright lucky. Nothing is predictable during this weekend. Button does seem to be good in making the correct decisions at the right moment, but I wouldn't be too surprised either if he gets it wrong.

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what they can do on the speed traps. Downforce is very limited for everybody, and I don't think they can run more downforce then they did in melbourne (except with upgrade packages).

So I guess Massa is doing whatever the opposite of a raindance is?

Ah yes, the anti rain dance, it looks exactly like a rain dance, but it's anti rain. I don't know I have a feeling it will be one of those rare dry race weekends, just a hunch I could of course be wrong.

Dry quali wouldn't be bad, we could see how better Williams are compared to the wet quali session in Melbourne, if McLaren will indeed be 0.5 secs faster, where exactly Red Bull is, how much faster Mercedes is..

But I hope it rains for the race (as long as they do race and they're not wasting laps behind the SC ).

Yes, I was thinking on that case, anyway Canada was almost full wet(except for the last laps) and he won.

Ayway, when it rains it can be very chaotic and no one is free of making mistakes but Jenson is a good choice under these conditions.

I would like to see a dry Saturday because it would be great to see a Williams(or both) in the firt positions. Bottas was awesome in Australia and I want to see how fast he can be.
