Greetings mlittle!:

Looks like we agree on the top ten, just disagree on the order. I'm going with the Webbo this week, because he's the comeback kid of F1

Pole: M. Webber The Newey Machine should shine at home!

First: M. Webber, I may be dreaming, but...

Second: S. Vettel, he'll be trying everything to get round the Webbo

Third: Lewis Hamilton, learning what it's like to round out the podium

Fourth: Jenson Button, driving hard at home, but just missing

Fifth: Robert Kubica, adding to his resume

Sixth: Fernando Alonso, the best driver in not the best car

Seventh: M. Schumacher, finally beating his teammate

Eighth: N. Rosberg, pushing, pushing, but betrayed by a pit stop

Ninth: Felipe Massa, driving like Rubens

Tenth: Rubens Barrichello, driving better, one could argue, than his old team mate, what's his name, the SEVEN TIME WDC?

cheers, mates, & I hope it's a good race; I'll miss it (but not the Fox TV coverage!!

) because I'll be on the road.

Smelled more of the slime found around mooring chains, as Webbo said about the wing favoritism after the race 'I would never had signed the contract if I had known it was going to be like this" .
With Webbo being so popular in England I would be very interested to see what happens to Red Bull sales in England for the next week..........just don't mention the War................woops, Vettel did.............

OMG I just realised that I actually won this round!!!! when I got the results I was happy with my score and was surprised that I was at the top of the F1 idiots list but didn't notice that I was rank no. 1.

I didn't even pick Mark to win. Wish I had gone with my heart.
