KIMI RAIKKONEN anybody? what the heck....he ll most definitely win, a wet race is a probability, and Hamilton spinning on the first corner too :twisted: (oops...sorry brits :wink: )...Scuderia Ferrari all the way fellas. Alonso might come back in raging fury after the French qualy incident, so im exp good result from him too.

I agree, Lewis will make a mistake some day.

But don't forget he has already driven tons of laps in Silverstone, F1 in tests and other cars in other classes. I'm sure it's one of the most familiar tracks to him and he knows how to drive there.

Of course the pressure from home audience might affect this. Especially if Ferrari is faster and he really has to push it. But I doubt it.


I think we'll see his mistake on one of the new tracks, where he hasn't driven a thing. Like Monaco. Where he touched a fence in the race, but didn't break anything. Not to mention the crash in practice.

Finally we got some proof of Ron favoring Alonso :P

I hope Kimi wins with Heidfeld and Kubica for podium. :)

Go DC, ok its an outside chance but still, he's done it twice before and one of those times I was there, sitting at Abbey \:D/ .

Actually Lewis won at Monaco 3 times before coming in F1. Surprisingly he'd never raced at Montreal or Indy though!

I'm going but I definitely want rain! I don't mind getting soaked if the race is a stonker (which rain always brings nowadays)

Alonso to win I reckon.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one....But only if it was to rain.

If it is to remain dry, I'd say Raikonnen to win. I think he's got the car where he wants it now, so he can start bringing some strong results for the team.

Going back to the predictions for a wet GP....

The only wet session we've had this year was the Monoco GP, Saturday Practice and the driver who surprised everyone was Sutil who came P1, so it'll be interesting to see how he goes in the race if it is to rain.

One thing's for sure, he'd leave Albers in the dust... well.. mud, with the rain..and the dust...mixing...and all. MUD!

First practice is over. Hamilton being the fastest, Raikkonen only a tenth behind him. Massa, Alonso, Rosberg made it to the top 5 in that order.


Anyone notice that Massa drove around with rain tyres up front and dry tyres on the rear? :shock:
