This is just going to go on and on. I think further discussion about this can be carried on via PM. Why don't we just move on to Silverstone. Request Mods to kindly do the needful.

The British GP is gonna be pretty awesome. Alonso is pullng away but McLaren have always had a good time at this track, and Renault; not so good. I have a gut feeling that this race is gonna be Kimi's. Silverstone is really fast track and the best drivers can pull some awesome overtaking moves, especially at the end of the Hangar straight. Alonso doesn't like such sort of tracks, where it will be difficult for the Renault to get away. Also, expect atleast 1 Williams on the podium. after the Monaco disaster, williams have a lot to prove. and their home-race has always been a lucky hunting ground for them. My predictions:
1. Kimi
2. Alonso (or hell, maybe even Fisi

)
3. Webber (dont really expect Rosberg to finish on podium in Silverstone)

Expect Massa, Schumi and Button to fight out for fourth. (somehow i think Massa is gonna get the better off them, even though Schumi is more experienced).

Looks like Kimi has a big chance to prove himself. If the car doesn't screw up again. I feel that even Button has a good chance here this time. Although Webber might outrace him.
Expect some great overtaking from Fisichella and even Barichello.
MS also has a good chance in the podium.

cheap_deal · 4th June 2006, 08:11

my predictions are
1. Schumi
2. Kimi
3. Button

prince85 · 4th June 2006, 08:51

IMHO, Shummi is gonna decimate his opposition in this race. Knowing him for soo many years now, i feel he is gonna be fired up after the Monaco debacle to prove his critics wrong. I feel this is the track where Shummi will show the rest of the world yet again why he famously considered as the best driver in the world.

1.Shummi
2.Kimi
3.Alonso/Massa

Cheers

yep i agree with Prince85, schmuck's gotta prove something this time. but whats the talk bout kimi being in contention for podium, come on one more safety car and mcleran's up in smoke ... i wouldn't be worrying bout the mclerans, kimi pwns but the car is just not upto the mark. Lets not forget bout fisichella's daredevil overtaking in monaco i think he would be agressive this time around too.

1. fonsi
2. schmuck
3. fisichella

killjoy · 4th June 2006, 11:50

return of the king - schumi will win.

karthik247 · 4th June 2006, 11:53

"Return of Ferrari", i'll even be happy wtih "Return Of The King"

Fonsi better watch his back, and Flavio too before he gets torn apart. Sill with another 10races to go, Silverstone wn't decide everything...

harishsegar · 5th June 2006, 15:20

I am expecting red fireworks! Lets see

karthik247 · 6th June 2006, 23:15

So, next race up, and almost halfway thru the season. Still, MS and Kimi might have a chance to challenge Fonsi for the title..

Well atleast this time, hope nutin goes wrong for Ferrari..and give Fonsi a run for his title...

killjoy · 6th June 2006, 23:22

MS all the way!...................
