Good luck!

The picks you have entered are:

Winner: Michael Schumacher - on a roll

Second: Felipe Massa - ditto

Third: Fernando Alonso - has had his bad one

Fourth: Kimi Raikkonen - improving car

Fifth: Ralf Schumacher - no drive through or accident damage stops

Sixth: Rubens Barrichello - fresh engine

Seventh: Jarno Trulli - scrumptious??

Eighth: Mark Webber - fresh engine also (give the guy a break will ya)

Pole: Michael Schumacher - has to be to win (Monaco II as far as overtaking goes)

Gho Gho beat me to the picks. I admit to some concern about Rubinho's new engine, but I'm picking Jense to finish ahead of him anyway; same goes for choosing Jarno over Ralphie

to get to it without any more unnecessary verbiage:

I picked Michael for the Pole Winner

1: Fernando (I'm going to keep picking him as long as he doesn't win!)
2. Michael (will probably win, but he needs the points more than I do, so I'm happy to pick him for runner up)
3. Kimi (if Ron Dennis ever gives him a car, watch out!)
4. Felipe (he'll be trying to help out his boss, but I don't think he'll be able to out drive Kimi on this track!)
5. Pedro de la Rosa (he needs to show something NOW, but I just don't see how he has a chance at anything better than fifth!)
6. Fisi (the backbone of next year's Renault squad: anybody for bets on how THAT works out?!)
7. Jense (I expect to see him pushing Fisi, in fact)
8. Jarno (on this track the Toyota's wobbly chassis might be an advantage!)

looking forward to the picks of the informed ones!

Winner : Michael Schumacher: Master of the masters
Second : Felipe Massa : Master of 2nd driver
Third : Ralf Schumacher: okay, he put my head in earth last time but i like him, and admire his recovery in the race.
Fourth : Kimi Raikkonen: not faster than Toyota, he in 3 stop strategy and toyta in 2 stop
Fifth : Fernando Alonso: Mass damper, rear suspension, tyre blistering, off track rally, what a mess should be fixed in 3 days.
Sixth : Jarno Trulli: driving toyota + some bad luck.
Seventh : Pedro de la Rosa: join webber to "where is Ralf" club
Eighth : Giancarlo Fisichella :
Pole : Michael Schumacher, Michael in Hungary (8th pole)
