KIMI.....

.... waiting for a loooooooooong time to see him win...

Mistakenguy · 19th June 2006, 18:07

Though I am a great fan of Kimi, I think Fernando will take the chequered flag first this time too.

1. Fernando Alonso
2. Kimi Raikkonnen
3. Michael Schumacher

DaPilot · 19th June 2006, 18:37

I am a HARD CORE Schumacher fan and would love to see him in the pole position but off late it looks like the only way Shumi can win is when Alonso makes a mistake... and chances of Alonso making mistakes are bleek!

So my guess is Alonso, Michael, & Kimi

karthik247 · 19th June 2006, 19:41

And like the commentators and everyone else said, Renault and Fonsi's luck has to run out sometime...

RX135 · 19th June 2006, 20:24

I too am die hard fan of schumi, but Alonso is really driving like a champion these days. He seems be hardly making any mistake. Qualifier for silverstone was stunner and he recorded perfect timing when it mattered most.

And no, I don't think he is just being lucky. It needs lot more than being just lucky. Michael needs to pull up his socks this time.

aZa · 19th June 2006, 21:30

fonsi --------------> Pole -------------> Chequered flag!!!

1. Fonsi

2. Schmuck

3. kimi (?)

killjoy · 19th June 2006, 23:41

scumi - 1st, dont really care about the other positions.

ranjan united · 20th June 2006, 11:20

Kimi fan, but the way fonsi is going

, chances for any1 else looks bleak. unless ofcourse they have used up all their luck
1. Alonso
2. Kimi
3. Schumi / Button

hope to see a good fight for top 3 places

.

Ferrari575 · 21st June 2006, 00:22

Its gonna be schumi hopefully whos gonna win. Its about time fingers made a mistake he is due.

karthik247 · 21st June 2006, 19:15

If everything goes Ferrari's and McLaren's way, then the season would really start heating up from now. And now it also seems both teams are on par with the Renaults, its all a matter of luck and pole position now

Ferrari575 · 21st June 2006, 21:13

I think Ferrari and Renault might be in the same league but i dont think Mclaren have solved their relaibility issues, would be great if they have would make things interesting as you say.

karthik247 · 26th June 2006, 07:35

Didn't anyone watch the race??!!
Anyways, was much more thrilling than the Silverstone GP. Wheel to wheel racing all the way throughout the field.

Alonso came out on top, followed by Michael who took 2nd place from Kimi at the very end, and Kimi finished 3rd. There were about 7-8 retirements, causing the Safety Car to come out twice, giving an advantage to almost everyone.

ranjan united · 26th June 2006, 07:47

It was a pretty good race. Still upset with Rosberg's early retirement.
anyways, looks like aZa got his predictions spot on.

headers · 26th June 2006, 12:58

It was a great race..the Renaults are really good this year and able to hold MS..

Indy is gonna be fun !!

hianooo · 26th June 2006, 14:13
