Why???? I have absolutely no idea why but my tips are up and down and possibly even sideways this year.
So considering I might just be certifiably insane then this all starts to make sense.

Well, I know how JacFan feels! After Europe I have only just climbed back to 153 out of 3076 after plummeting to 279 after the Spanish G.P.!!

For Silverstone, I'm betting that McLaren will come back after their lukewarm performance in Valencia and score better on the 'home' circuit. But I don't think they'll be able to catch Seb or Fernando; the one because he's so good and so lucky, the other because he's so good

So, here's me picks:

Die Wunderkind wins again: Sebastian Vettel in the Red Bull (why don't we have an emoticon for the forefinger?

The most exciting if not the best driver on the circuit will, once again, take the second step: Fernando Alonso, the hope of Ferrari!

The Webbo won't repeat last year's squeeze on Vettel because he'll probably be in third or fourth at the first turn!

and for the rest:

4th will go to Hamilton in the revised McLaren
5th will be Button's in the OTHER revised Mclaren :zzzz:
6th will be little Phil's in the OTHER Ferrari
7th should go to the Silver Merc of Schumacher, unless he manages a great start like he did at Canada, in which case he could bump Button
8th will be the OTHER Silver Merc, Nico Rosberg
9th should go to Petrov in the Renault, just for sheer racing guts
and the last point for tenth (for TENTH!!??) will be Kamui Kobayashi's in the Sauber

The Pole, no surprises here, will be Seb's again!

I hope it DOES rain, even though it will probably wreck my predictions; it would be such fun to watch Michael, Sebastian and Fernando on wets and inters!!

Cheers, Chaps & Enjoy the Race Jim Watt
