Hey first cab off the rank!!

Winner: Sebastian Vettel

Second: Mark Webber

Third: Lewis Hamilton

Fourth: Felipe Massa

Fifth: Jenson Button

Sixth: Fernando Alonso

Seventh: Adrian Sutil

Eighth: Vitaly Petrov

Ninth: Nico Rosberg

Tenth: Kamui Kobayashi

Pole: Sebastian Vettel

Hey, JacFan: you must have some kind of inside info to think that Ferrari is moving in the right direction these days! Other than that, our picks are close. Here's mine:

1. Mark Webber: I know by rights he should get second (having posted, so far, a fifth, a fourth, and a third), but I think he showed us last week what kind of speed merchant he is, KERS be damned!

2. Lewis Hamilton: I don't see Lewis winning back to back, but he'll be on the podium!

3. Sebastian Vettel: two wins, a second, and now a third keeps him safely in the lead for the WDC!

4. Jensen Button: just missing the podium, but keeping himself in the title race ... barely

5. Nico Rosberg: the Merc is getting faster, but so's the competition

6. Felipe Massa: Ferrari needs more than new wings; they need a new racing director!

7. Fernando Alonso: I think he's getting tired of carrying the prancing red horse all by himself

8. Michael Schumacher: he might make it to the third round of qualys, but that'll be it for the former champion of champions

9. Nick Heidfeld: Renault started well, but they're not keeping up; Nick, could, though, get past his fellow German; heck, with some luck he might get by both Ferraris!

10. K. Kobayashi: it's fun to pick him because he's all over the boards this year: 1 disqualification, one 7th place and one 10th. It all depends, really, on how BAD the Ferraris are!

and the pole position will go to: Lewis Hamilton; he's been so close, can his luck stay bad like Kimi Raikonnen's; I hope not

That's all, folks! Enjoy the race!!

Anyway, now that I'm no longer Top of the Pops in the F1 Idiots Group, I gotta' start knuckling' down and think about these picks a little more now........

Here are my picks for the Round of Turkey...........................
1st} Lewis Hamilton(....he's decided to give the British royals a late wedding gift....an F1 win in Turkey! )
2nd} Sebastien Vettel(so I finished 2nd..........Big deal; I'm in it for the WDC, my friends......)
3rd} Felipe Massa(wants to show the Scuderia why they need to keep him post-2011...........a podium finish should help his cause quite nicely........)
4th} Mark Webber(thinks to himself......"Maybe I need to borrow some of Will Power's "willpower", if you know what I mean........." )
5th} Fernando Alonso( )
6th} Jenson Button(it's just not going to be my weekend to shine, it appears......)
7th} Nick Heidfeld(once again, "Quick Nick" hits that top-tier wall....... )
8th} Nico Rosberg(banks several more valuable points for Mercedes.....)
9th} Vitaly Petrov( )
10th} Paul di Resta(someone's got to finish 10th.....this time, it's Dario's cousin......)

And for pole position...............Sebastien Vettel.

1st} Lewis Hamilton(....he's decided to give the British royals a late wedding gift....an F1 win in Turkey! )

I think you might need to learn Bwitish.... I think what he actually said was "I will give them a winning turkey"

Dear Jim... I would love to have some inside info on not only the red devils but everyone else too. I really really really wanted to pick Mark but have picked him so many times to win and lost I figured I had to pick the wunderkid.... much as that sticks in my craw.
Love your faith in me though.
