Pole: Nico Rosberg (if the trend is anything like last, year, it looks like Hamilton may trade a little bit of single lap pace for better performance in race trim) Fastest lap: Vettel (I bet he will not be able to resist going for it) ROTR: Sauber (I expect that their shortcomings will be rather brutally exposed in Australia) IIDOTR: Manor (they get this by default by simply appearing) First DNF: Nasr MLP: Sainz Jr Deadbeat teammate: Ericsson DNQ: Merhi and Stevens

He's got it all wrong. When I see Ericsson and Chilton's hairdos, the only signal going to my brain is 1049.
2015 Oh god I'm making music for an Australian label as we predict Grand Prix
1. Hamilton 2. Rosberg 3. Ricciardo 4. Vettel 5. Bottas 6. Kvyat 7. Magnussen 8. Massa 9. Räikkönen 10. Button
Pole: Hamilton Fastest lap: Hamilton ROTR: Force India - double DNF IIDOTR: Ricciardo for keeping strongly up with the Mercs on home soil First DNF: Perez MLP: Nasr DBTMOTR: Merhi DNQ: Merhi
Watka's predictions for the "Salute our Cyber-Forefathers" Grand Prix
1. Hamilton 2. Rosberg 3. Bottas 4. Vettel 5. Ricciardo 6. Massa 7. Maldonado 8. Raikkonen 9. Kvyat 10. Verstappen
Pole: Hamilton Fastest lap: Bottas ROTR: Sauber/van der Garde have got this sewn up already IIDOTR: Manor, for just being there First DNF: Button MLP: Verstappen Deadbeat teammate: Kvyat DNQ: None
1. Hamilton 2. Räikkönen 3. Vettel 4. Massa 5. Bottas 6. Kwjat 7. Sainz 8. Ricciardo 9. Pérez 10. Hülkenberg
Pole: Rosberg Fastest lap: Vettel ROTR: ... wait a motherlovin' second, we ain't got nobody to decide that anymore. IIDOTR: Ferrari (were on track to beating Rosberg on track until he had a car failure) First DNF: Verstappen MLP: Sainz Deadbeat teammate: Verstappen DNQ: >implying
1. Räikkönen(steady, reliable, ice cool drive allows him to leapfrog into the lead) 2. Hamilton(pit stop mishaps cost him the lead) 3. Vettel(leads some laps, but pits a lap earlier than Kimi, unable to get by Hamilton) 4. Bottas(solid, fairly quick drive for Williams) 5. Ricciardo(uneventful afternoon for the Red Bull #1) 6. Kvyat (not really fast enough to challenge his teammate, but not slow enough to be challenged by those below him either) 7. Hülkenberg(ends up in a dogfight with recovering Massa for the last 10 laps, holds his nerve and comes out on top) 8. Massa(recovers well from a spin on the second lap) 9. Sainz(does well to put the Toro Rosso in the points, despite nearly being taken out by his teammate in the first corner) 10. Pérez (Grrrrrrrrrrrrjnnnnn is faster throughout the race, but loses out to Sergio after suffering a puncture late in the race)
Pole: Hamilton Fastest lap: Vettel IIDOTR: Ferrari First DNF: Either and/or both of the McLarens MLP: Sainz Deadbeat teammate: Verstappen(youthful over exuberance sees him nearly take out his teammate in the first corner, lose his front wing, and later retire with floor damage) DNQ: Manor Marussia(their effort to make it to Australia is a valiant one, but their inexperienced drivers, combined with a lack of testing of the new car, lead to them getting lost on setup direction and subsequently miss the 107% by about a second.)
