well, I reckon McLaren will allow Monty to set pole,before Kim wins the race.. With the improved showing by Williams, Mark will take the the bottom step of the podium.

It looks like we won't have a wet race this season 
My thinking:
Alonso wins of course, Montoya second and Raikkonen retires with an engine failure 
Fisichella will be third with Button not too far.
Bambino driver may finish 9th somewhere close to where Webber will finish. Both will struggle in qualifying 
Now I can go an put my picks in. Slightly conservative cause I can afford to

What on earth leads you to believe that Alonso is going to finish.

For viewers in NSW, Australia, the CH10 broadcast time is "scheduled" for 11PM, Sunday night
... that means" oh, anytime between11pm, and 12pm...probably...unless something else comes up..like the producers' kids birthday party video, then we will broadcast at oh say 12:30 pm..or perhaps on Monday at 5am...but you will have to keep watching because we won't make any announcements"

| You wouldn't be a cynic would you Julian. Now that BB has finished, we only have to put up with the "how to vote for" Idol crap and the over-runs of Idol earlier in the night. |

Engine status:
The following drivers will use the same engine used in Turkey:
Juan Pablo Montoya - McLaren
Jenson Button - BAR
Takuma Sato - BAR
Jacques Villeneuve - Sauber
Ralf Schumacher - Toyota
All other drivers will have a new engine for the next two events (Italy and Belgium)

The chance of rain on Sunday is now low but there is a chance of rain during qualifying!

Ed,even Michael Schumacher would use the same engine.They changed his engine when he went off during quali.

Kapel,
Michael Schumacher retired in Turkey. He is allowed to use a new engine but he may opt to use the one used in Turkey (the second one) as he didn't put a lot of mileage on it. That way he gets a new engine for Belgium
However I should have added Narian Karthikeyan who had two engine changes in Turkey and will have to use the same engine

I have a feeling that D.C will put in a good showing at Monza...more than likely a 4th place (or even 3rd if things go well  )
It will also be a Mclaren 1-2.....with montoya spinning from the lead into second......and Alonso will just have a bad day...
The first corner could get quite interesting though...
