1. Alonso / Kimi
2. Alonso / Kimi
3. Schumi
This is gonna be Michelin's comeback race, after Indy. also, insiders reveal a lot of changes to the Honda car, engine-wise and aerodynamically. that combined with the fact that Button is racing for his seat means either honda will do very well, or fail spectacularly. (I hope they do well, especally Rubino). Also, look out for 'THE man' Fisi.

Fisichella and Button have a good chance in France.
Renault will be trying very hard not to repeat their mistake again in France.
I still think Schumacher's gonna clinch this one too.
So it might be

1. Schumacher
2. Raikkonen
3. Button

my prediction,
Schumi
Alonso
kimi

1. Schumi
2. F Massa
3. Kimi

1. Schumi
2. F Massa
3. Montoya

1. Schumi
2. Alonso
3. Kimi/Massa

1. Schumacher
2. Raikkonnen
3. Alonso!!

magny cours is a michelin track.. going by that :

1. alonso
2. fisi
3. kimi

1, schumi
2, massa
3, kimi

The Indy track favours Bridgestones, so Ferrari winning dominantly would most likely be a one off and not a sign of return to full form. My guess is that Alonso will be back to dominate at France, with Kimi giving a good fight if his car lasts till the end of the race :-) Hope he wins though, not much for the McLaren fans like me to cheer about for a while....

Kimi
Alonso
Schumacher

1. Fonsi
2. Schmuck
3. ?!?!?

1. The circuit is a combination of tight hairpins and some pretty high speed straights. So finding the right car balance will be crucial. Renault is better than anyone else at this

2. This is Renaults /Michelin's home GP. So expect them to put their heart, soul into running two cars that are capable of winning

3. Alonso is sulking after the whipping he recived at Indy.

Based on the above

1. Alonso 1
2. Fisi ( After the world cup any Italian thinks he can win):I Rule:

3. MIchael vs. Kimi fight for 3rd spot. One will spin out.

Ferrari Ferrari Ferrari!!!!

Rest dosen't make a difference :D
