Good luck!

Thank you for submitting your picks for the race of Monaco

The picks you have entered are:

Winner: Michael Schumacher (Because he can)

Second: Fernando Alonso (He will be behind MS all the way, but no room to pass)

Third: Kimi Raikkonen (Will have a decent weekend)

Fourth: Mark Webber (He did well here last year)

Fifth: Giancarlo Fisichella (Not on the pace)

Sixth: Felipe Massa (Will lose a front wing on the start and will need to recover)

Seventh: Jenson Button (Starts off strong, and falls back slowly)

Eighth: Nick Heidfeld (Puts in a solid performance for the last of the points)

Pole: Fernando Alonso (Quickest person...what can I say)

My picks are:


Winner: Fernando Alonso

Second: Felipe Massa

Third: Giancarlo Fisichella

Fourth: Nick Heidfeld

Fifth: Juan Pablo Montoya

Sixth: Jacques Villeneuve

Seventh: Michael Schumacher

Eighth: Jenson Button

Pole: Felipe Massa


Prediction: Massa has a great qualifying session and scores his first pole! Alonso beats him to the first corner and that is pretty much that. Michael Schumacher gets tangled up with Button and Raikkonen. Raikkonen is out. MS and JB have to play catch up. Both Williams drivers are high up, but Webber has a mech failure and Rosberg clips a wall.

Winner : Fernando Alonso - Can't bring myself to pick anyone else
Second : Michael Schumacher - looks to be the only challenger.Ferrari will unexpectedly let him down in the pits
Third : Kimi Raikkonen - He is due.
Fourth : Giancarlo Fisichella - Safety pick
Fifth : Felipe Massa - Safety pick
Sixth : Mark Webber - Could finish higher but williams don't have the pace of those above. or even below.
Seventh : Jenson Button - Will be a let down in the race again
Eighth : Ralf Schumacher - Will Q top 5 but struggle in the race as well

Pole : Michael Schumacher - This is a track that he loves
