Here are my guesses:
Winner: Sebastian Vettel
Second: Kimi Raikkonen
Third: Romain Grosjean
Fourth: Mark Webber
Fifth: Fernando Alonso
Sixth: Paul di Resta
Seventh: Jenson Button
Eighth: Felipe Massa
Ninth: Lewis Hamilton
Tenth: Nico Hulkenberg
Pole: Sebastian Vettel

New tyres seem similar to the old ones, but the ban on swapping rear tyres and the high temperatures forecast (up to 40C on race day) could affect things dramatically.

:twisted: Good Grief: Could you make it any more difficult to find the discussion thread for Ten n' Pole!?? :roll: :roll:

No wonder Thaddeus & myself are the only ones posting. My assumption is that you've all surrendered to FB or some such social network. too bad for us people who don't FB and twitter and all the rest.

anyway, here are my picks. only minor variations from Thaddeus:

1. Seb Vettel ... the young man is on his way to legend status and no amount of chatter about him will make any difference!
2. Kimi Raikkonen ... I hope the two are close enough to duel, but I doubt that will happen
3. Fernando looks to be getting a little more out of the red machine
4. Mark Webber will try to hold the Spaniard back, but even he won't be wide enough
5. Felipe Massa will try, but not get round the Austrailian
6. Lewis will get his silver arrow up there and, if things go his way, he may even make the podium
7. Grosjean ... he could, as Thaddeus's pick suggests, even podium ... but I think there are too many canny old drivers in good machines
8. Jenson Button deserves a medal for putting up with the McLaren
9. Nico Rosberg should get a couple of points
10. Adrian Sutil, too, deserves a point

Pole Sebastian Vettel (who will quickly disappear from the field after a lap or two

enjoy the race,
My Racing Gods: Fangio, Vukovich; Senna & Mears --all racers all the time; graceful winners & generous in defeat, but never giving up!!
