Winner : Fernando Alonso - does anyone still doubt he'll be champion again?
Second : Kimi Raikkonen - i just have to hope he doesn't let the distance to alonso get too big to overcome later in the season, when mclaren have finished building the car
Third : Jenson Button - wrong car, look what the mighty rubens is doing with it. rubens who?
Fourth : Michael Schumacher - if michelin has the upper hand here, he will get about a handful of points, but no win
Fifth : Juan Pablo Montoya -
Sixth : Ralf Schumacher - sis is a track i kno
Seventh : Nico Rosberg - knows it, too and has bridgestones, too
Eighth : Vitantonio Liuzzi - twisty track, torquey ten cylinders and tons of talent .. well, at least a healthy amount of talent
Pole : Fernando Alonso - because Jenson told his team to fill his car up to the brim so he doesn't again look so stupid racing backwards

I have absolutely no reasons for my tips this week, other than for where I position Alonso. Coming 530th in 8 Pole says that my reasons are not of any value anyway! So with fingers crossed . . .
Winner: Alonso - only an accident or mechanical difficulty will stop him.
2: jpm -
3: Kimi
4: button
5: schumi
6: Webber
7: Fisi
8: Barramundi
Pole: Button. The honda is quick when light.

Winner: Fernando Alonso - Agree with Bundy
Second: Kimi Raikkonen - Will not flat spot his tyres this time
Third: Jenson Button - 3rd but too far
Fourth: Giancarlo Fisichella - looking after my engine
Fifth: Juan Pablo Montoya - can't beat Kimi twice in a row
Sixth: Felipe Massa - and it maybe too high
Seventh: Jarno Trulli - is due for a change of fortune
Eighth: Jacques Villeneuve - does well on this track (1st F1 win )
Pole: Fernando Alonso - Hoping no Honda, Ferrari, Toyota, Williams or BMW go for fumes. Pole should be adjusted for fuel load

Oh so where did Michael come from all of a sudden ? You just received internal info that the Bridgestone tyre will be suitable
Poor Fisichella
(Actually this is a more realistic place for him to finish in )
Nick Heidfeld vs Jacques Villeneuve - I like it! The floor wiping has made its way to 8 'n' Pole too

My picks are as follows:
Winner: Fernando Alonso
Second: Giancarlo Fisichella
Third: Nick Heidfeld
Fourth: Juan Pablo Montoya
Fifth: Felipe Massa
Sixth: Michael Schumacher
Seventh: Rubens Barrichello
Eighth: Jenson Button
Pole: Giancarlo Fisichella
Race prediction:
It will be an all Renault front row! [I like that a few of you dreamers out there have chosen Raikonnen to take pole position. Hmm!] Button will be third fastest next to JPM. Button will get pushed onto the dirt in the first corner losing him time along with a bunch of other drivers. Row three will be all Ferrari, but Schuey will be another one forced on the dirt allowing teammate Massa to end up in third place at the end of the first lap. Heidfeld will be on row 4 with Raikonnen who gets knocked out at the first corner. Barrichello will avoid the mess along with Heidfeld, but eventually will get passed by the recovering Michael Schumacher by the end of the race. Heidfeld will have better pit stops than JPM, and both will pass Massa on the track.
Let's see how good [or bad] I am!
Cheers
