The next few races will go a long way toward determining how things shake out for the rest of the season. Right now Alonso looks pretty much untouchable, but if the new Bridgestones work well, I expect to see Ferrari and Williams make big steps forward.

I know it wouldn't go well with the red Emirates Air colors on the wings, but I really do wish McLaren had used their old-school orange paint job this season. The chrome paint is mesmerizing in studio photos, but the cars are damn near invisible most of the time on TV.

Anybody care to guess where Toro Rosso will qualify at Monaco?
