O.K. Chaps: for Valencia I was too late to get my pics in, not that it would have mattered much as it transpired
and here it is Tuesday 3 July and I don't even see the round of Europe on the bulletin board! So I've made up my own topic.
Here are my pics for Silverstone 2012:
1. Vettel you won't see the alternator failing again!
2. Webber He won it in 2010 & was second last year so the wunderkind will need to work a little this week end...
3. Hamilton always does well here, doesn't he
4. Alonso can't be counted out; at least not while he's leading the WDC
5. Raikkonen's drive seems to be fading in spite of last race's good luck
6. Rosberg is fast and the car has pretty good aero package, so...
7. Grosjean (actually I'd love to see him win; maybe Hamilton can screw up again and take BOTH Webber AND Vettel with him?
8. Maldonado (and if Lewis DOES lose it maybe the Mexican can make the podium at last
9. Shumacher should be able to move up from wherever he is after the second qualy period is settled
10. Perez, if he can keep it together
Pole: Vettel; nobody in his class at Qualy time.
looking for a DRY race, just to confound all the pessimists and generate some REAL excitement. This course can be Blindingly FAST you know.

Red Bull will be the dominant team, I think, but Webber hasn't been able to get as much out of the upgraded car as Vettel.
