The last time Williams drove on a second race engine, they released the evil spirits from the motor out of the exhaust. I hope they do better.

Alex has been flogging the guts out of 'em....fingers crossed

I've got a cunning plan...every time I put Jenson downa s race winner he doesn't win so if I put him down as not the race winner then he'll win!!!

What do you think? Pretty bloomin' devious isn't?

Winner: Fernando Alonso

Second: Kimi Raikkonen

Third: Jenson Button

Fourth: Michael Schumacher

Fifth: Juan Pablo Montoya

Sixth: Giancarlo Fisichella

Seventh: Rubens Barrichello

Eighth: Ralf Schumacher

Pole: Jenson Button

I'm not worried if he doesn't get pole

Stuck with the same 8 that served me well last round but shuffled them up a bit. Kimi was blisteringly fast last year (with a little too much emphasis on blister, but remember this year he can change the tyre) and of everyone has the most to prove this weekend, so I think he will show us what he is capable of.

First: Kimi
Second: M Schu: will be up there
Third: Alonso: already slipping into championship winning mode
Fourth: Montoya: seems to be putting his head down
Fifth: Massa: is quick
Sixth: Button: still hasnt found the edge
Seventh: Webber: will wrangle another solid run out of the williams
Eighth: Fisichella: should be doing better, starting to lose faith

Pole: Kimi
