I'll go first then. I will gladly accept critism for my picks once I have been shown to be wrong, which has been every race so far.




Winner : Mark Webber - This is my new strategy. Other one not working.
Second : Kimi Raikkonen
Third : Nick Heidfeld
Fourth : Fernando Alonso
Fifth : Michael Schumacher
Sixth : Juan Pablo Montoya
Seventh : Rubens Barrichello
Eighth : Jarno Trulli

Pole : Mark Webber - This is also part of my new strategy.

Winner: Michael Schumacher - Matter of principle
Second: Kimi Raikkonen - He can, and we need him to.
Third: Fernando Alonso - He can, even though we really don't need him to.
Fourth: Giancarlo Fisichella - Alas he can as well..
Fifth: Juan Pablo Montoya - Not as bad as he has seemed most of the season
Sixth: Ralf Schumacher - A better racer than Jarno
Seventh: Nick Heidfeld - He can and I would like him to.
Eighth: Mark Webber - Not as bad as he has seemed most of the season.

Pole: Fernando Alonso - His for the taking

Rain will change all of this...

Winner: Juan Pablo Montoya - Cause it is about time!
Second: Kimi Raikkonen - Cause he'll go out early in qualifying
Third: Fernando Alonso - Cause the Renualt is still fast and he is good!
Fourth: Giancarlo Fisichella - Cause he does well here
Fifth: Rubens Barrichello - Cause he's had enough of Michael bullying him
Sixth: Jarno Trulli - Cause someone has to be between Barrichello and Michael :D
Seventh: Michael Schumacher - Cause that's were he will finish
Eighth: Nick Heidfeld - Cause they will again have a bad strategy
Pole: Juan Pablo Montoya - Like I said before

Bundy, Webber on Pole :shock: :shock:

He's going out first. You are predicting it will pour straight after he goes out.

Other than that. No Way!

K-D, Ralf has one or two good races in a season. I think we've seen them already :shock: :D

And his qualifying position will really hurt him. Same applys to Webber

And if Alonso is on Pole I can't see how Michael and Kimi will get ahead.
Vibrations maybe :lol:

K-D, please keep talking about rain :lol:

Pole....yup...Webber, cos he can.
winner, Webber

Kimi
Nick
Schuey
Alonso
Barrichello
Trulli

Ralf will probably feature in there somewhere, but I can't pick him on principle, He will either flinch at the ferrari of his brother or baulk someone til they run into him :lol:

**Clears throath**

The clouds rolled in and we can?t see the sun
Doesn?t look like today would be much fun

The thunder starts and the rain came down
Drop by drop they made a puddle on the ground

Over the soil the water would flow
To make the grass green and help the trees grow

It?s coming down heavy, started to pour
Listen to the sky and hear the thunder roar

Just let it rain, Just let it rain

Just listen to the falling rain

We planted a smile and just for a while

We don?t mind the rain, Let it rain rain rain

After awhile the clouds moved away
The sun peaked through in a little shy way

We looked up and what do we see
A rainbow protruding like a symphony

(Announcer) - We now return to the regular scheduled program.

8) :shock:

Fourth: Juan Pablo Montoya - Always does something wrong at Montreal
Fifth: Rubens Barrichello - He is on fire
Sixth: Jarno Trulli - Will succeed in holding up those behind
Seventh: Nick Heidfeld - He has a chance in qualifying unlike Webber
Eighth: Jenson Button - I am taking a risk with this one as I think we may have a BARBBQ

Good one K-D but I'd insert

.....

We planted a smile and just for a while

Bambino driver was catching all the time

One turn, two turns, three turns and he is catching

But of a missed puddle he spun spun spun

And into the wall he'd gone

We don?t mind the rain, Let it rain rain rain

And watch The Cute win again and again and again


:clap:
