The F1 season opens in Bahrain, and Sebastian Vettel (driving for Red Bull) has put his Renault powered car on the pole.  Felipe Massa (Ferrari) has the outside of the front row, followed by Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), Lewis Hamilton (McLaren Mercedes) and Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) to round out the top five. Rosberg\u2019s teammate, seven time world champion Michael Schumacher, qualified in seventh spot, followed by current world champion Jenson Button in eighth.  <\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-40271\"><\/span>I\u2019ve been saying for years that Michael Schumacher\u2019s best talent was being in the right place at the right time, so it will be interesting to see how he fares against the new generation of star drivers like Hamilton and Vettel.  My call?  Hamilton takes the championship, followed by Massa and Vettel.  If Schumacher completes the season, he\u2019ll be lucky to crack the top five.<\/p>\n<p>In the U.S. Market , the race airs on Speed TV at 7:30 A.M.
