It’ll be either Lewis or Charles. But with rain in the forecast I'm hoping one of the GP2 engines takes the win

Voted for Max. I think there will be some Honda magic this weekend. It's been too long since he's been in the conversation.

If weather doesn’t allow for qualifying on Sunday, then this will be the starting grid.
