Second: Kimi Raikkonen - He will try
Third: Jenson Button - Continues the tradition of being the only points scorer for Honda
Fourth: Giancarlo Fisichella - I was taking care of my engine
Fifth: Juan Pablo Montoya - This is a nice comfy place
Sixth: Mark Webber - Home track advantage
Seventh: Felipe Massa - Again has a great drive after an engine change
Eighth: Nico Rosberg - Only this time mate!
Pole: Fernando Alonso - Will have the correct fuel this time!
Left out Villeneuve cause I don't think his engine will last
You pride yourself on your stats and accuracy.
"Two drivers on the outside"....on the outside of what ? .....oh yes, I remember, the straight, at the start. One driver was trying to bury the other driver in the fence at the time. Young Nico,s ear should have lost most of the impact swelling from SF's hand about now.
Normally I respect your posts, that part is just infammatory rubbish......do not EVER lower yourself to my level.

Also,his comments dont make sense to me
Doesnt every driver come from a non performance machinery to a championship winning car over the years..
Well yes and no
When those years start counting 1 ... 2 ... 3 .... 4 .... 5 .... 6 ...
Champions either jump into a competitive car straight away or a year or two later at most. There are exceptions of course
But:
Villeneuve - Straight into Williams
Alonso - Minardi then Renault
Champion material
Raikkonen - Sauber then McLaren
Future champions (if Alonso lets them
)
Rosberg - Will move to a competitive team if Williams don't deliver
Kovalainen - Straight into Renault - Speculative but true
There have been how many world champions? Leaving JV aside, and most of us accept that he nearly lost the unloseable WDC ,
How many years did the others take?
eg;
Schuey
Alan Jones
Fittipaldi
The Professor
Jack Brabham
Dennis Hulme
Fangio
Ascari
Jochen Rindt
Guiseppe Farina
Mike Hawthorn
James Hunt
??
A raw figure, not a stat, please

Hey everybody
I hope no one objects to me joining this party.
My picks:
1] Alonso [No one has matched his speed or toughness]
2] Webber [Williams gives him a rocket with decent strategy]
3] Fisichella [He is fast and good in AUS]
4] Michael Schumacher [Some pit stop pass magic]
5] Juan-P Montoya [He's still fast and racy]
6] Coulthard [Always great in AUS]
7] Kimi [More drama]
8] Barrichello [Another solid drive]
Pole: Fernando Alonso [Who is stronger right now??]
I also predict Button, Rosberg, Klein and Massa will be in the mix, but will be slowed by mechanicals.

I know I have left out Michael but....[/quote]
.....it is the second race on suspect engines ????
[/quote]
But they can change the pistons, can't they? I mean the word was that they were cracking. If they DO change the [Ferrari] pistons, does that mean a 10 place penalty for changing engine?

The engines are sealed by the FIA. Nothing internal can be changed!

Winner: Fernando Alonso (Renault is the car to beat)
Second: Kimi Raikkonen (Hopefully 7 years bad luck for breaking a McMirror is just a superstition!)
Third: Michael Schumacher (ferrari isnt too slow)
Fourth: Jenson Button (Honda aint slow either)
Fifth: Nico Rosberg (Flying Finns can!)
Sixth: Giancarlo Fisichella (off weekend - for the rest of the season (not to be seen as manipulation by Renault))
Seventh: Felipe Massa (has had his one over MS)
Eighth: Mark Webber (looking for mates on the side doesnt help)
Pole: Michael Schumacher (Bridgstone in wet quali)
P2: Nico (cause MS will out drive him in the wet)
