Sun Sun Sun ....isnt it always.....

People say that you cant overtake at the hungoraring (did i spell it right?) but i have got a feeling that sunday could be slightly different to what people think because.....
This is where JPM is gonna go on the attack, with Kimi not far behind...if he makes it to the end that is. :oops:

What i want to see though is what the Mclarens will look like, with there new sponsors and everything....does anyone know?

If I remember correctly last year or the one before Montoya actually managed to overtake at the Hungaroring. This year it will be a tad more difficult as he will be in the lead :lol:

This will be a HOT race by the looks and if the Bridgestones melted in 20 degrees last week, they wont' last here. This will be a real chance for Sauber to beat them.

I think I better go change my picks :D

I concur...

But what you need to realize is that all the passing will be done by Kimi who will come from the back (those damn engines), and astoundingly weave his way through the field....

<T-K>, i think the mclarens are gonna be red and gold - johnnie walker (mmmnn) is their new main sponsor, although they could be black and gold like johnnie walker black label? - that would let mclaren keep similiar colours to the one they have - doubt it though..
Yeha, I agree that montoya is gonna win this one.. probably qualify on pole and the mclaren is just so much better than the renaults ( i say that as a renault supporter) that I doubt alonso can keep up with him after the first stops - just look at Silverstone. Dont see much that can hold montoya back bar a car failure.. but he doesnt seem to get those like kimi.

There will probably be some "mercedes silver" in the mix, as well.
Monty's biggest problem is brain failure, as the Heretic says. :D
