With six days to go for the start of the season do you think Red Bull will do it again or will Ferrari, Mclaren, Mercedes or Lotus finally win?
Who will be the biggest mover from the back? Marussia, Caterham, STR?

My money would be on Red Bull taking it again, however I haven't been paying as much attention as I should to pre-season testing. The car looks impressive though.

From a US standpoint, I am taking a "wait and see" outlook about NBCSports channel having the coverage this year. Their website is hideous to navigate. I can't stream live TV on this internet connection, so I think I'll end up missing a lot of the practices and maybe even qualifying. Pretty sure they plan on broadcasting all the races, so I can at least get the races. Since I am on Pacific time, I usually just record them rather than get up at 4 am to watch live. I am a fan, but not that much of a fan.

ETA: Tonight (Sunday) at 11:30 my time is a "Formula One Preview" on NBC Sports (220 on DirecTv). Doesn't have any further info, but the title seems pretty self-explanatory. For this race, First and Second Practice plus Qualifying plus Race all are available. It says they are live, but it also shows second practice directly after first practice, which wouldn't be standard procedure.

If I didn't watch a race I isolate myself by not using internet to avoid knowing the results until I watch the recorded race.

On NBCSports, it is supposed to be Leigh Diffey, David Hobbs and Steve Matchett. I think Will Buxton will still be the pit reporter. Diffey will also be handling IndyCar.
