£20.00 on Hamilton, Schumacher, Rosberg, Button Odds are good atm.
Not sure about Mercedes, from todays practice it looked like they were certainly gunning the car, where as McLaren/Ferrari were taking it easy. I could be wrong and Mercedes could be holding back on todays practices, but Schumacher was arse out and over shooting corners on most laps which is a sign of pushing the car (or that he is seriously rusty).

Aye Ferrari are a concern to me as if you look at previous wins at this track they have done well.
God I have no idea what bet to put on, to many choices.

Forgot to post McLaren new live telemetry site - http://mclaren.com/home (screenshots - http://www.piratalondon.com/2010/03/and-it%E2%80%99s-go-go-go/) Was looking at it during practice today and it's pretty special 
FruitBooTeR - i wouldn't be concerned about Ferrari, i think they were taking it easy and i would easily imagine them to have similar pace to McLaren. But we won't really find out what each teams pace is like until session 3 of quali tomorrow.

IMHO HRT should have been forced to miss the first race and spend 3 days testing elsewhere. Its not correct that a team can go to a F1 race having covered 0 miles. Let alone then have one driver who has never even driven a F1 car sit in the pits for the first 2 practice sessions due to technical problems.

Although i agree that HRT should have missed Bahrain, as they clearly need more time, i don't think it should be up to the FIA to mother teams and force teams (unless in extreme circumstances - H&S etc) to miss races because they are unprepared. In fact i'd rather see it being forced that all teams have to make the first race weekend otherwise they face penalties.
But this is all been caused by FIAs bodge job of team selection for this season and how they've handled the whole situation with US F1 (the FIA should have dropped them before xmas when rumours where coming out of the factory that they were in shit) and Campos (HRT). HRT lacking any decent testing and the complete fuck up with US F1 should have never happened and hopefully Todt will sort it all out for next season to prevent it happening again.
