The picks you have entered are:
Winner: Sebastian Vettel
Second: Fernando Alonso
Third: Lewis Hamilton
Fourth: Mark Webber
Fifth: Felipe Massa
Sixth: Kimi Raikkonen
Seventh: Jenson Button
Eighth: Sergio Perez Mendoza
Ninth: Nico Hulkenberg
Tenth: Romain Grosjean
Pole: Sebastian Vettel
Form will depend largely on updates, but I'd be surprised if Red Bull can be stopped now. Whilst not a Ferrari/Alonso fan, for the sake of variety I'd prefer him to taken the title. Vettel's very likeable, but it's time for a change.

Winner : Mark Webber- using the rules of probability hes due for a decent result so why not the win.
Second : Fernando Alonso- He was Mr consistant for most of the season.
Third : Sebastian Vettel- I'm going to regret the order I put the red bull drivers :$
Fourth : Felipe Massa- CMON MASSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Fifth : Jenson Button- Mr reliable
Sixth : Kimi Raikkonen- Almost didnt have him here but again Mr reliable
Seventh : Sergio Perez Mendoza- Too inconsistant for me
Eighth : Romain Grosjean- Only Spa and Suzuka was his fault and maybe Monaco.
Ninth : Nico Hulkenberg- I like this driver.
Tenth : Kamui Kobayashi- Getting ready to bow out at the end of the season I think.
Pole : Sebastian Vettel

I did too well last round (3rd position

) so I am taking corrective action
Last races Red Bull was unbeatable, who's turn is it now? Personally I hope for Lotus as you can see below
I also hope Fernando Alonso will beat Vettel to keep the title race alive.
Winner: Kimi Raikkonen
Second: Fernando Alonso
Third: Sebastian Vettel
Fourth: Romain Grosjean
Fifth: Lewis Hamilton
Sixth: Felipe Massa
Seventh: Sergio Perez Mendoza
Eighth: Mark Webber
Ninth: Nico Hulkenberg
Tenth: Nico Rosberg
Pole: Fernando Alonso

I'd really like to see a Raikkonen win, but I'm not sure it'll happen.
Alonso beating Vettel would keep the title interesting. If Vettel wins again it's hard to see anyone else taking the title.

I would rather a Grosjean win than a Raikkonen win

Can't see Grosjean winning, particularly as he'll still, probably, be ultra-careful at the remaining starts.

I agree with Thaddeus. I can't see either Grosjean or Kimi winning at the moment.
Grosjean certainly has potential but needs to calm down a bit especially at the start of the races. To be first at the finish first you need to finish.

Kimi has changed, hasn't he?
In his McLaren days he didn't care in how many pieces his car would cross the finish line. All he cared was how fast he could make it go.
But maybe it's Formula 1 that changed, nowadays it is all about tyre management. You can't just push all the time.

I think Kimi was good in his Mclaren days but then he went to Ferrari and fizzled out. My first memory of Kimi was in 2001 in Austria in the Sauber when he came 4th I believe.
I think Grosjean has a lot of potential and Kimi has just lost his appetite (referece to his famous ice cream in the middle of the rainstorm in Malaysia 2009)
