:D Hey, JacFan: you must have some kind of inside info to think that Ferrari is moving in the right direction these days! Other than that, our picks are close. Here's mine:

1. Mark Webber: I know by rights he should get second (having posted, so far, a fifth, a fourth, and a third), but I think he showed us last week what kind of speed merchant he is, KERS be damned! 8) :up:

2. Lewis Hamilton: I don't see Lewis winning back to back, but he'll be on the podium! :clap: :clap:

3. Sebastian Vettel: two wins, a second, and now a third keeps him safely in the lead for the WDC! :woohoo:

4. Jensen Button: just missing the podium, but keeping himself in the title race ... barely :wink: :wink:

5. Nico Rosberg: the Merc is getting faster, but so's the competition :alright:

6. Felipe Massa: Ferrari needs more than new wings; they need a new racing director! :oops: :oops:

7. Fernando Alonso: I think he's getting tired of carrying the prancing red horse all by himself :cry: :cry:

8. Michael Schumacher: he might make it to the third round of qualys, but that'll be it for the former champion of champions :oops: :oops:

9. Nick Heidfeld: Renault started well, but they're not keeping up; Nick, could, though, get past his fellow German; heck, with some luck he might get by both Ferraris! :lol: :lol:

10. K. Kobayashi: it's fun to pick him because he's all over the boards this year: 1 disqualification, one 7th place and one 10th. It all depends, really, on how BAD the Ferraris are! 8) 8)

and the pole position will go to: Lewis Hamilton; he's been so close, can his luck stay bad like Kimi Raikonnen's; I hope not :D :D

That's all, folks! Enjoy the race!!

Dear Jim... I would love to have some inside info on not only the red devils but everyone else too. I really really really wanted to pick Mark but have picked him so many times to win and lost I figured I had to pick the wunderkid.... much as that sticks in my craw.
Love your faith in me though. :D :D :D :D :D
