Winner : Michael Schumacher - Because I always do.
Second : Kimi Raikkonen - Because he is in the best car, and he is the 2-3rd best driver.
Third : Juan Pablo Montoya - Becasue he is in the best car.
Fourth : Fernando Alonso - Because he is in the 2nd best car, and he is the 2-3rd best driver.
Fifth : Ralf Schumacher - Becasue he is that good.
Sixth : Giancarlo Fisichella - Because he is in the 2nd best car.
Seventh : Nick Heidfeld - Because he is that good
Eighth : Rubens Barrichello - Because he ain't that bad.

Pole : Michael Schumacher - Just because.

This is SOOO Easy!

Post by Jim Watt » Wed May 25, 2005 6:45 am

:P It's Nurburgring, right? That means it's Merc's home event (even if the Merc is really an Illien, it's still a Merc) And Merc hates BMW even more than Ferrari (who are not, currently, a threat to anyone save, maybe, BMW and Red Bull) so don't look for a Williams repeat; instead look for a Williams DIS-ASTER :twisted: !

This is such a chance for McLaren to stick it to all those who were so condescending and snide about Ron Dennis spending all his time chatting with architects instead of racing engineers. Why do you think he went out of his way to get JPM to match with Kimi? Not because he expects JPM to emulate DC! No. The message to the Columbian this week is simple: Qualify, Juan --and if you ain't on the podium at the end, you'd better start hunting a ride for next year because there are lots of drivers out there drooling for your slot and they don't have tennis elbow, either! In fact, if JPM isn't on the podium, look to hear from him how much he loved winning at Indy and how he might be interested in trying again.

So. My picks. As I said, so easy (though, as of a half hour ago, I couldn't get the damn Pole N 8 line to register my picks!! :evil: ) So here goes:

1: Kimi --because he can drag a trailer behind him and STILL leave the rest gasping for track position
2: Juan Pablo --because, as I said above, it's put up or shut up time
3: Jens --because the Honda people want blood
4: Fernando --because he's a sweet heart and has had a nice run; now it's time for him to learn about how F1 works (as Kimi did last year)
5: Michael --because it hurts too much to put Ferrari lower than 5, even though they ARE
6: Takuma --because the Honda boys have been jawboning him in japanese I suspect, maybe even leaving a seppku knife on his pillow?
7: Fisichella --because the Gods have condemned him to bridesmaid status forever
8: Nick --because it's his home track and his chance to leave bleeding Marko just out of the points!

:lol: Oh this is such a fun season, friends! It's turning into a Grand Prix season to remember for years to come.

P.S. After the bloody terrible displays at the Chicane in Monaco which, with one exception were EMBARRASSING, I don't want to hear any more condescending remarks about going round and round at Indy. At least at Indy you can't drive through the bloody wall and keep your position!

Cheerio and may the BEST MAN and BEST CAR stick it to all the Finn Haters out there!

The picks that will take me back into the top 20 :wink:

Winner: Fernando Alonso - Cause he's The Cute :D
Second: Kimi Raikkonen - Cause he is fast
Third: Juan Pablo Montoya - Cause he is fast too
Fourth: Jenson Button - Cause him and Honda want to send a strong message
Fifth: Giancarlo Fisichella - Cause he drives a Renault
Sixth: Jarno Trulli - Cause the Toyota won't be that bad at the 'ring
Seventh: Rubens Barrichello - Cause racing in hot conditions will ruin his tyres
Eighth: Mark Webber - Cause that's where Williams will be
Pole: Fernando Alonso - For the best chance of collecting points :wink:
I'm back and yes supporting Alonso "The Cute" in the Ferrari!

And I agree with Jim, Williams will struggle in this race and BAR Honda will be strong.

Oh and calling Alonso a sweetheart, that was sweet :wink:
He'll still win it but !!

Just looked at your picks and honestly I didn't see them before putting mine in but if you replace Michael with Fernando our picks will be pretty much the same :shock: :shock:

I wonder if that is a good thing or not!!!!

In any case, so far my extreme of not picking Michael at all is winning :wink:

And thanks!, Good luck to you too

But looks like no rain :oops: :oops:

My extreme of allways picking Michael have not paid of sofar, but come Sunday the tide will turn.

I am not sold on rain or sun. The Eifel mountains are notirious for having "their own" weather. So regardless of the forcasts right now, it can be anything in between:

Sun
Overcast
Rain showers
Steady rain
Thunderstorms

But look as a hot muggy day right now.

But last season it was 10 points in 13 of the races. So as everything else in life it's cyclic.
