Kimi
Massa/Alonso
Hamilton

TheDoctor · 8th June 2007, 22:05

Hamilton takes the chequered flag, has been on the podium so far in all the races and would be refreshing to see a rookie take it with the world champ in the team.He has got nothing to lose unlike the seasoned drivers, not much at stake and lots of controlled speed he is all about.

Toss up between Alonso and Massa for the second and third, well massa has been the more mature Ferrari driver and no reason why he should not pip Kimi and Alonso because 1. Mclaren has been exceptional this year
2. He is the defending champ

And it does look like the taste of succcess has spoilt Mclaren too, what with giving out team orders we usually associate with Ferrari.

See guys

Qualifying is 2230-Saturday-ESPN
Race is 2230-Sunday-StarSports preceded by Raceday at 2130.

Even though Ferrari's have been good in this GP for the past year... it feels as if the Mclarens are the ones with the slight edge over the ferrari's. what i think is everything will be down to strategy, as McLaren's and Ferrari's don't have much difference.

1. Hamilton
2. Kimi
3. Massa

Mclaren look too strong for the Ferrari's atleast on a single flying lap.Great performance from Hamilton taking his first pole,looks like Alonso made a error on his last flyer and also a great performance by quick Nick by getting 3rd for BMW.

ESPN-STAR are as usual pathetic,completly missing the 1st quali session due to that foolish cricket match that they insisted on showing.

headers · 10th June 2007, 10:11

well..after the quals..it is:

1. Hamilton
2. Alonso
3. Kimi..

Hope this prediction prevails..Hamilton rocks!! Has found a new fan in me!
though personally Ferraris are my favorite..

jaganm · 10th June 2007, 21:13

I think it is tough to call. The Ferraris seem to be much heavier on fuel, maybe 3-4 laps more. Also, if their race pace is much better, they can easily leapfrog the Maccas at the pitstops.

However, Nick Heidfeld could be the fly in the ointment. If he can stay in front of the Ferrari's after the start, they could find themselves too far back to challenge.

Anyway, promises to be an intriguing race. Still I don't see it being a patch on the Motogp race earlier today:-)

karthik247 · 10th June 2007, 22:37

Would love to see a few brake failures towards the end...which is kinda common on this track
