Seventh: Mark Webber

Eighth: Rubens Barrichello

Ninth: Sebastien Buemi

Tenth: Adrian Sutil

I think are making the mistake from last season. Rules changed significantly and most likely simple copy paste from last season will not work. There will be a lot of suprizes. As a Pole I'd like to see Renault as one of them. This is the most underestimated team along of all. During tests most of the laps were made with >1/2 fuel load. Also, they might have an advantage of less consuming engines. It seems Sauber, FI, TR, Williams are competitive as well. At the first race teams wont risk with alternative strategy. But during the season They will start experimenting and this will be fun . Honestly I'd like to see one of the drivers stopping 200m before finish line. I heard this happed in the past. Extreamly exciting season in front of us and I can bet I am wrong with top3. Theoretically Ferrari, McLaren, are the fastest but I am expecting unexpected.

I believe Sir Jack Brabham pushed his empty car over the line, gained a point, and won the WDC.

Due to numerous requests we have decided to extended the submission deadline for the competition until midnight of the first day of practice.

Be warned though that Friday practice times are usually misleading and do not necessarily reflect the order on race day.

Good luck!
