The French GP Podium finishers will again be on the Podium IMO

Alonso, for not voting for you.

iraghava · 6th July 2007, 17:22

I too support Ferrari, they're looking real good now!!

nitrous · 6th July 2007, 18:20

Although Im a die-hard Tifosi,
I'd bet on Hamilton to be the winner. He's already a speed demon and this is his home ground.
He must have done a million laps on this circuit and i'd doubt if anyone can touch him here.

Still Kimi and Massa are quite close to his timings. It will be a close call between Hamilton, Kimi and Massa. Alonso seems to have slowed down! This race will be interesting.

karthik247 · 6th July 2007, 20:43

This should be Ferrari all the way!!!!!!!!!!!

Practice 2 Results are..
1.K Raikkonen
2.F Massa
3.R Schumacher
4.L Hamilton
5.J Trulli
6.F Alonso

TheDoctor · 6th July 2007, 21:22

My bet would be on Hamilton, home circuit advantage although Ferrari seem to have their act together.

Surprisingly Brits have a uncanny habit of not performing at home in any sport for that matter, would like to see that change, so hoping Coulthard ends up in points

Realistically could be again a close call between Ferrari and Mclaren.

speedzak · 7th July 2007, 00:09

Hamilton and Mclaren!

Yes, I am speaking about the winners.

Again, Yes! It's my wish, prayer and hope!

merve_extreme · 7th July 2007, 00:28

Ferrari look very fast here.Mclaren were fast in the morning but struggled in the afternoon.If Mclaren are not sandbagging then Ferrari have them covered.Hama will have to wait.

My flying lap will be comming after 2am today.

Qualifying Results:

1)Hamilton
2)Kimi
3)Alonso
4)Massa
5)Kubica

It was a superb qualifying session.alonso lead the 1st and 2nd session and was on provisional pole until he was dumped by Kimi and then at the last moment by Hamma.Massa looks to be struggling a little.All 4 top runners are seperated by .3 of a second.

speedzak · 7th July 2007, 18:51

I am waiting for another Mclaren 1-2 with you know who on top!

I wish Ferrari a podium place too. They look very promising this time. And Kimi is in a mood of payback!

What time was the qualifying? I checked at 6pm but Star Sports was showing live tennis and ESPN was showing live cricket.

It was not live on either Star Sports or ESPN.They have other priorities.I used live timing.

MaserQ · 7th July 2007, 23:29

another close qualifying session. Its just too close to call, have a look a how close the top 4 are..hardly anything in it. Kimi seems to have started a mid season revival. Its going to be Kimi-Lewis showdown.
