I'm putting Hamilton on pole. What are your picks?

Voted for Alonso, but I did consider Hulkenberg too.

Very strong drive from the Spaniard, aided by some luck, but he was in second on merit before Vettel's car died.

Raikkonen's still very fast but he seems to have slightly lost his touch with passing in close quarters (although not as much as Schumacher did when he returned).

Glad to see Schumacher back on the podium, although it was very unlucky for Hamilton to be attacked by Maldonado (not for the first time). I'm starting to develop quite the dislike for Maldonado. He's side-swiped Hamilton and Perez (Spa last year and Monaco this year respectively) and that 'move' in Valencia was just moronic. It not only cost Hamilton his race but Maldonado his.
