Greetings Chaps!

Last race I finished 299 out of 3064, so I'm pretty conservative this week, trying to drag myself up the list

1. Vettel ... he did it last year and this year he'll do it even better IN THE RAIN!
2. Hamilton ... another rainmeister in a fast car
3. Webber ... still on the podium, but not as good as last year
4. Button ... another good driver in the wet
5. Alonso ... could, with a break, even win in the wet ... but his car is a clunker
6. Heidfeld ... this is his last chance as far as I'm concerned!
7. Massa ... he could end up in a sand pit
8. Schumacher ... just because he used to be THE rain meister
9. Petrov ... I'm liking him more & more, just don't know how he is in the wet
10. Rosberg ... same as above; don't know about his wet driving

pole: Vettel ... nobody should be even close!

looking forward to a good race!
