BMW podium I hope.
Kimi win, with Schumacher next to him.
Make the championship very tight.

i got really mixed up feelings abt honda now

are they any good? is it just bad fortune? will they win a race this year

i think they're bound to win a grand prix this year if everything goes right. but every race something goes wrong. and its always disappointing. button hasnt finished in front of his starting grid position yet. how sad

[Omotesando]

Honda doesn't have the race pace.. sigh

McLaren and Ferrari are both faster laps and trap speed wise, after checking the end of race results.

Lost me valuable points in the tipping comp voting for Jenson's missing button *_*

[chicken8]

yeah. i wasted alot of tipping points for choosing nico rosberg every round

i bet ya the round that i stop putting him in the top 8 and when he shines.

pretty good season tho. some nice racing. except alonso didnt overtake schumi last round. is alonso getting older and wiser? last year i reckon he would've taken the risk and overtaken schumi

[Omotesando]

Yeah man I lost points on Rosberg and Webber as well, but mainly Raikkonen. :(

Well Alonso isn't entirely all that different from last year at this early stage! - the thing is he is already on a good points lead. Why risk 8 points for a mere 2 points more (for becoing 1st)? That is why I don't like the current F1 points rules. 1st 2nd and 3rd have so little differences.

Alonso in the latter races last year, was much more aggressive because he was already World Champion by then. That guy is intelligent, just like Schuey is :)

Schuey at Imola drove on the most defensive lines, slowed down a lot before the corners - then started accelerating away to get away from Alonso - just as Alonso did and admitted last year. Admittedly Schuey had problems with his tyres on the 2nd stint, but when Alonso pitted - he immediately found another 2 seconds on that important lap and so he came back out before Alonso after his own pit stop again.

Imola is boring... :(

Nurburgring isn't that much better I think... I think we will see fair bit of crashes due to the way its set up.

[chicken8]

should be a boring few rounds until monaco grand prix comes round

i love the track. would love to go 1 day if it wasnt so expensive

No drama's mate.
You still got my number?

[LUD02C]

As for the question above if Honda are going to win a race this year?
I can't see it personally.

Ferrari, Renault, McLaren are way ahead.
Honda would have to battle Williams, BMW and even Toyota or Red Bull.
That and I think Button is way overrated.

[angelblue]

Yeh I do :) Thanks... If I don't get them to you, I'll have to miss this round.. i'm not going to have internet access, any other way of finding out how qualifying went?

[chicken8]

y not just have ur picks same as mine

in case u dun get ur picks in

[angelblue]

LOL almost sounds like cheating though... I'll get to Friday night which is the last night i'll be home and i'll decide what i'm doing..

[chicken8]

cheating is if i get any points

hoping for a 0 this round

i missed out on round 1. otherwise i'd be tipping leader
