  Just a week after Malaysia it's time for another one.
  
  With him being so dominant over that weekend, Hamilton is understandably the clear favourite to win this too at EVS. Vettel improved massively on his showing in Australia though and has won the last two races here. If Red Bull can sustain their rate of improvement on his car then you never know. He's 3rd favourite at 15/2, some way off Rosberg in the other Mercedes who's 9/4.
  
  All teams should have the measure of the circuit though after 8 days of testing here in the off-season. No excuses chaps...
  
  We begin with the first practice session at 10:00 tomorrow and end with the race itself, under the floodlights, at 16:00 on Sunday.
  
  Predictions?

  And Hamilton goes quickest in P2 as well. Can see that being a recurring theme this weekend...

  Minor shock as Rosberg pips Hamilton, his Mercedes team-mate, to pole. Vettel's improvement last weekend was nowhere to be seen though as he failed to reach Q3, and he'll start tomorrow's race way down in 11th. No such problems for Ricciardo in the other Red Bull, he'll start 3rd.
  
  The standings in full:
  
  1) Rosberg 2) Hamilton 3) Ricciardo 4) Bottas 5) Perez 6) Raikkonen 7) Button 8) Massa 9) Magnussen 10) Alonso
  
  11) Vettel 12) Hulkenberg 13) Kvyat 14) Vergne 15) Gutierrez 16) Grosjean
  
  17) Pastor Maldonado 18) Adrian Sutil 19) Kamui Kobayashi 20) Jules Bianchi 21) Max Chilton 22) Marcus Ericsson
  
  The race gets underway at 16:00 tomorrow.
