Cheers Mates! I've crawled, bleeding & cursing to rank 143 out of 3076 overall & 108 for Silverstone; so it's probably time for me to tank again. Take note oh ye to pick after me!

The last time we raced on the ring (2009) one of my favorite drivers, the Ice Man Kimi Raikkonen only made it half way through the race for Ferrari before retiring; his mate, lil Phil Massa got on the podium, though, behind the Red Bulls of Webber & Vettel. And poor old Lewis finished dead last in 18th place one lap down! This year I expect Alonso to do a little better and lil Phil to drop a spot. So, here are me picks:

Sebastian Vettel --and if it rains, he'll be out of sight of second place!

Fernado Alonso, saving Maranello's Face for them

Mark Webber --he'll get the pole, but not the repeat win

4th: Felipe Massa, spoiling the day for all the Germans behind him
5th: Jenson Button, no loose nuts this week by God!
6th: Lewis Hamilton, tyres! Lewis, TYRES!!
7th: Michael Schumacher saving face and working with Ross Braun the way they did in the old days, just not fast enough yet
8th: Nico Rosberg, working hard in front of the bosses
9th: Nick Heidfeld: I think this may be the last week for Renault to be in the points; I'm assuming Nick will break his balls because it's his home race!
10th: Adrian Sutil has been looking faster lately, so why not?

The Pole will be Webber's but not the race, not this year

Hope we don't have a downpour, but changeable weather like Silverstone would be nice

cheers, chaps

Ok so here are my picks......

Winner: Fernando Alonso ~ he has tasted the champagne and he wants more!!

Second: Sebastian Vettel ~ hometown gp will bring it's usual dose of bad luck

Third: Mark Webber ~ Wanted to put him above Seb but fear that won't be allowed

Fourth: Jenson Button ~ best of the brits

Fifth: Lewis Hamilton ~ as long as he doesn't do something stupid

Sixth: Felipe Massa ~ driving his heart out

Seventh: Nico Rosberg ~ has to keep beating his team mate

Eighth: Michael Schumacher ~ well he should know this track like the back of his hand

Ninth: Vitaly Petrov ~ no reason really

Tenth: Adrian Sutil ~ ??????

Pole: Sebastian Vettel

I think that Sebastian Vettel will do the job this weekend. Red Bull and Ferrari are the teams of choice this weekend.
