Round of Britain 2012 - Picks and comments

Post by Jim Watt » Wed Jul 04, 2012 10:22 am

:D O.K. Chaps: for Valencia I was too late to get my pics in, not that it would have mattered much as it transpired 8)

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 :up: :up: you won't see the alternator failing again!
2. Webber :burnout: He won it in 2010 & was second last year so the wunderkind will need to work a little this week end... 8)
3. Hamilton always does well here, doesn't he :roll: :roll:
4. Alonso can't be counted out; at least not while he's leading the WDC :D
5. Raikkonen's drive seems to be fading in spite of last race's good luck :wink:
6. Rosberg is fast and the car has pretty good aero package, so... :clap:
7. Grosjean (actually I'd love to see him win; maybe Hamilton can screw up again and take BOTH Webber AND Vettel with him? :oops: :oops:
8. Maldonado (and if Lewis DOES lose it maybe the Mexican can make the podium at last :coool:
9. Shumacher should be able to move up from wherever he is after the second qualy period is settled 8)
10. Perez, if he can keep it together :P :oops:

Pole: Vettel; nobody in his class at Qualy time. :bounce:

looking for a DRY race, just to confound all the pessimists and generate some REAL excitement. This course can be Blindingly FAST you know.

Third: Mark Webber

Fourth: Fernando Alonso

Fifth: Michael Schumacher

Sixth: Romain Grosjean

Seventh: Nico Rosberg

Eighth: Kimi Raikkonen
