Good luck!

Winner : Fernando Alonso - does anyone still doubt he'll be champion again?
Second : Kimi Raikkonen - i just have to hope he doesn't let the distance to alonso get too big to overcome later in the season, when mclaren have finished building the car
Third : Jenson Button - wrong car, look what the mighty rubens is doing with it. rubens who?
Fourth : Michael Schumacher - if michelin has the upper hand here, he will get about a handful of points, but no win
Fifth : Juan Pablo Montoya -
Sixth : Ralf Schumacher - sis is a track i kno
Seventh : Nico Rosberg - knows it, too and has bridgestones, too
Eighth : Vitantonio Liuzzi - twisty track, torquey ten cylinders and tons of talent .. well, at least a healthy amount of talent

Pole : Fernando Alonso - because Jenson told his team to fill his car up to the brim so he doesn't again look so stupid racing backwards

I have absolutely no reasons for my tips this week, other than for where I position Alonso. Coming 530th in 8 Pole says that my reasons are not of any value anyway! So with fingers crossed . . .

Winner: Alonso - only an accident or mechanical difficulty will stop him.

2: jpm -
3: Kimi
4: button
5: schumi
6: Webber
7: Fisi
8: Barramundi

Pole: Button. The honda is quick when light.

Ok ok...Im gonna be conservative this week.....the risky picks havent paid off as yet....


1> Alonso
2> Shumo (michael)
3> Kimi
4> Pablo
5> Webbo
6> Trulli amazing
7> Chello
8> Nico

Pole Kimi


Im tring to stick with the O's this week.....gonna try a new trick each week.... Maybe next week I will choose them according to their nations political standings......

Winner : Fernando Alonso - You'd have to be crazy to pick anyone else
Second : Giancarlo Fisichella - surely is due for a good solid race
Third : Kimi Raikkonen - GOD only knows why i picked him here. Think I will regret it.
Fourth : Mark Webber - good chance for the Williams here i reckon
Fifth : Michael Schumacher - good race last up.
Sixth : Nico Rosberg - another solid race for Nico
Seventh : Jenson Button - another bungled race for JB
Eighth : Felipe Massa - will be unlucky not to get past JB

Pole : Fernando Alonso - Has not qualified all that well this year. is due for a pole

And with 334th clearly in my sights, here are my picks for the European GP......

1st}Kimi Raikkonen(this time, the suspension won't break on me!! )
2nd}Fernando Alonso(...ahem, Kimi--who's leading the points right now, hmmm?)
3rd}Michael Schumacher(....never mind.... )
4th}Jenson Button(I'm now 0-for-whatever )
5th}Juan Pablo Montoya(when will I win again???)
6th}David Coulthard(I knew they put Red Bull in the car....I knew it!! )
7th}Giancarlo Fisichella(........ )
8th}Jarno Trulli(and to think....Toyota spends how much on F1? And all I'm doing is finishing 8th??!)


Pole--Kimi Raikkonen

Winner: Fernando Alonso - Agree with Bundy
Second: Kimi Raikkonen - Will not flat spot his tyres this time
Third: Jenson Button - 3rd but too far
Fourth: Giancarlo Fisichella - looking after my engine
Fifth: Juan Pablo Montoya - can't beat Kimi twice in a row
Sixth: Felipe Massa - and it maybe too high
Seventh: Jarno Trulli - is due for a change of fortune
Eighth: Jacques Villeneuve - does well on this track (1st F1 win )
Pole: Fernando Alonso - Hoping no Honda, Ferrari, Toyota, Williams or BMW go for fumes. Pole should be adjusted for fuel load

Winner: Fernando Alonso

Second: Kimi Raikkonen

Third: Juan Pablo Montoya

Fourth: Giancarlo Fisichella

Fifth: Mark Webber

Sixth: Jenson Button

Seventh: Nico Rosberg

Eighth: Felipe Massa

Pole: Kimi Raikkonen

Hey rah, I am taking a few risks to overtake you and you go and end up having 6 of mine and 3 of them in the exact place and no Michael

At least you are taking a bigger risk with Raikkonen on Pole

Winner: Fernando Alonso

Second: Kimi Raikkonen

Third: Juan Pablo Montoya

Fourth: Michael Schumacher

Fifth: Mark Webber

Sixth: Jenson Button

Seventh: Giancarlo Fisichella

Eighth: Nick Heidfeld

Pole: Kimi Raikkonen

Hope this is better sweetness.

Oh so where did Michael come from all of a sudden ? You just received internal info that the Bridgestone tyre will be suitable

Poor Fisichella
(Actually this is a more realistic place for him to finish in )

Nick Heidfeld vs Jacques Villeneuve - I like it! The floor wiping has made its way to 8 'n' Pole too

Accidently left him out. Wanted to reshuffle too.

My eigth place vs your. I reckon neither of them will get it now.

My picks are as follows:

Winner: Fernando Alonso

Second: Giancarlo Fisichella

Third: Nick Heidfeld

Fourth: Juan Pablo Montoya

Fifth: Felipe Massa

Sixth: Michael Schumacher

Seventh: Rubens Barrichello

Eighth: Jenson Button

Pole: Giancarlo Fisichella


Race prediction:
It will be an all Renault front row! [I like that a few of you dreamers out there have chosen Raikonnen to take pole position. Hmm!] Button will be third fastest next to JPM. Button will get pushed onto the dirt in the first corner losing him time along with a bunch of other drivers. Row three will be all Ferrari, but Schuey will be another one forced on the dirt allowing teammate Massa to end up in third place at the end of the first lap. Heidfeld will be on row 4 with Raikonnen who gets knocked out at the first corner. Barrichello will avoid the mess along with Heidfeld, but eventually will get passed by the recovering Michael Schumacher by the end of the race. Heidfeld will have better pit stops than JPM, and both will pass Massa on the track.

Let's see how good [or bad] I am!

Cheers

On form, and ability, Mark should be in everybody's eight.

The last time Williams drove on a second race engine, they released the evil spirits from the motor out of the exhaust. I hope they do better.
