Winner: Fernando Alonso - Don't be fooled by testing times

Second: Kimi Raikkonen - Just in case his engine doesn't blow up
Third: Juan Pablo Montoya - He is fast here
Fourth: Giancarlo Fisichella - Great car, good driver

Fifth: Jenson Button - Best of the rest
Sixth: Takuma Sato - For once will not have brain fade
Seventh: Jarno Trulli - Can't match Honda (makes mlittle happy

)
Eighth: Ralf Schumacher - Can't match his teammate

Pole: Fernando Alonso - See above

Sorry julian but Williams won't shape. They took bits of the back of the car so the tyres won't touch them

Having looked at the oil I think

Pole Kimi

1st Kimi Fastest automobile
2 Juan Ditto but not the fastest driver
3 Can you hear the drums ...
4 Giancarlo Can keep up with Fernando
5 Marky Will keep taking bits off the chassis
6 Jarno ?
7 Rubens Wants to out drive Micki
8 Micki Trying to maintain some dignity

Rubens can't finish in front of Michael twice in a week. He already won the Vodafone promotion this week.

Got 7 out of 8 this time. Not too accurate in the order but still should move me closer to winning the title of the F1 Idiots

Reminder to self. Never pick 2 Williams in top 8

Ferrari will not do well. Go with instinct.

based on my very rough calculations I scored 31 points.....& would have had 7 more if Kimi didn't have to change his engine & race result was the same.

Ah well, being a loser at this means I'm a winner at something else
