I approve of this thread's title.
F1.com forecast uses to, er, forecast rain as soon as a couple of clouds are expected over the circuit. But, according to weather.com, the chances are between 50% and 60% for each of the three days... On the other hand, Emlyn Hughes (now at @radarguruf1) says it will be mostly dry.
In the end, we all know it will be what HWNSNBM wants.

Lewis Hamilton: "It may have looked like Mercedes were close to winning at this stage last year but they were actually a long way away, we are stronger this year."
Erm Lewis, they had the 2nd fastest car in the dry in Malaysia then went and won the Chinese grand prix.

Time to change my signature
Bianchi for IIDOTY, if that exists (if not, it's about time to create it!)
The pecking order looks remarkably similar to Australia so far...

According with weather.com, there is around a 60% rain chance at Sepang for tomorrow's qualifying.
I will not preemptively rant (I filled my quota a week ago), but it doesn't look good.

Vettel's hard Tyres lasted for only 12 Laps. So if we have a dry race, it's going to be like Istanbul 2011, where some drivers did 4 stops.

Unless you're somebody like Button, that is, who was hoping for a wet race that might level the playing field a bit more. It might also please the Red Bull drivers, since both Webber and Vettel have been really sticking the boot into Pirelli this weekend over the lifespan of the tyres - Webber has been complaining that the sport is being too heavily dominated by the tyres, whilst Vettel is frustrated that he is having to drive well within the performance limits of the car in order to prevent the tyres from being destroyed within a few laps.

Vergne and Bottas join Marussia and Caterham in the out for Q1.
Bianchi is only 2 tenths away from Bottas. I'm already fearing for my bet with eurobrun.
