Round of China - Picks and Comments
Moderator: 8 n Pole Admin
China 2009 F1 racing -> Thanks for sharing your predictio
Gentlemen,
Please join me on sharing our predictions for the next F1 race in China.
Please share your picks for next race and reasons beind them
My picks:
#1: Button (again and again..I think it's their year at Brawn GP..I don't
think that Barrichello will be up to the challenge though)
#2: Alonso (I am confident that with a well tuned strategy, his car can be pushed to some very interesting limits)
#3: Kubica (reliable car despite no wins up to now)
... am still working on the remaining choices (I am debating whether Ferrari, despite a slow car, could find a way of coming back).
Please throw in your inputs about what car you think is more suited to China's racing track.

Welcome to NewsOnF1, aromes!

After the, uhh.....interesting way the first two rounds went, you almost have to throw darts at a wall to make picks.........

But if I had to make a quick 3-driver set of picks, I'd probably go with Button and Alonso in 1-2; I'd go with Sebby V(a/k/a Vettel) for the third pick. It's almost impossible to make any picks for China, though, at the moment 'cause of the way the first two races went, but no one I bet thought Melbourne and Sepang would go the way they did!
Anyway, like I said, welcome to the forums; feel free to browse all the sections and let your opinions be known!

Welcome Aromes and godd to see you sharing your thoughts with other players.
As mlittle said, it is hard to pick who will be on form in China but expect the 3 'diffuser' teams to feature at the front along with one or two of the 'other' teams.
Note: We moved your post to this thread as it is for posting players predictions.

Welcome aromes
Even though I will mostly likely put Alonso in the top 2, I don't think the Renault is up to it yet. I think he will be in the top 5 though.
But I can't make up my mind yet. And maybe the difusser teams will be banned then he'll win
Oh and this forum is not only for blokes![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

I did jump on the Button bandwagon for the last race & I think that Rubens may do better this time out.
