But it's running in Mushlins, remember. And who knows, there might be something on the racing surface not tracked in their computers! :twisted:

I'm afraid the theme music from here on out will be "Fernando's Hide Away" and we're going to see (but not hear) a lot more from the Ice Man.

Get used to it. :lol:

My Picks

All Right Lads :D It's time to get serious. 8) Julien thinks that Kimi will take himself out I guess, since he's put him on the pole, but not in the points (or, who knows, maybe he thinks Kimi's Mushlins will do him in?) K.D., a hopeless Romantic? :oops: thinks Michael will actually WIN an F1 race this year (as opposed to taking home 10 points). Bundy, (simply hopeless :roll: ) thinks the Webbo will make the top step. I mean, come on, I like D.C., too. A nice fellow and a hell of a driver and all that, but the McLaren's are chewing up the competition like they took lessons from Jean Todt!

So, in a word, newcomer Lloyd is right :lol: and here's MY LIST:

1. Kimi Raikkonen --because he's bloody fast and bloody fearless
2. Juan Pablo Montoya --because he's heard from Ron Dennis (and he's bloody fast and bloody fearless)
3. Nick Heidfeld --because he's a really good racer
4. Michael Schumacher --because he's really good
5. Giancarlo Fisichella --because he's driving a Renault in France
6. Jarno Trulli --because the Toyota is peaking
7. Rubens Barrichello --because he's not as good as Michael
8. Ralph Schumacher --because he isn't as good as Michael either

pole: Kimi Raikkonen

And I think Kimi will lead every lap

What, you ask, will become of Fernando? I think he'll find a way :oops: :lol: :oops:

I hope it rains buckets on buckets. If it does, Michael will be on the podium too, but not the top step.

Can't really remember what I picked, but if I get it wrong I am sure Mr 8'n'pole will correct me (if he has nothing better to do, and his tired of twiddling thumbs)

1. Alonso he is still no1
2. Rubens grrrrr.... he is a very angry Brazilian, but then I would be if I got one.
3. Kimi
4. Webber
5. JPM
Memory is starting to struggle from here
6. Button
7. Trulli
8. Nick
Pole. Button

And if ya don't like it, well there is not much you can do really, except laugh at me when the results come in.

You should not be confused, it does. But Villeneuve jnr stopped winning ! So he has been spurned in favour of the spanish jockey.

Last time I checked, your Ice Man was on Mushlins too and I remember the Nurburgring too :shock:

Perhaps you can sing this after the race in France

Kimi, Kimi where are you honey
Kimi, Kimi you couldn't catch the Spani
Kimi, Kimi and not even the Fisi
Kimi, Kimi, Jim Watt isn't happy
Kimi, Kimi, in 8 'n' Pole I went on a slidi :D

Repeat Chorus for the remaining races of the season :ROTFLMAO:

Bonne Chance
