Eighth: Robert Kubica - BMW at home
Pole: Sebastian Vettel - Difficult to pick anyone else!

Just a tad.

Well, Chaps, it seems like it's been forever since there's been a RACE to talk about. I think this one will be full of fun. Especially since it's going to RAIN!
It looks like Jay Vee thinks Jenson will fall back now (to make room for Fernando? Not likely; I'm afraid that's just wishful thinking. )

will go to the Braun GP with the British Driver
will go to the Red Bull car with the German driver --if he can get over the fact that for all his skill in the rain he can't overtake a faster car...otherwise he just might not finish at all! ...
...in which case his team mate will take the second step.
But I'm planning the bronze medal (again!) for the Colonial with the broken leg in the Red Bull machine ... which leaves...
4th place for the Brazilian Driver in the other Braun GP you know, the one who's always saying he should be the number one...
5th place will go to the ever ebullient Finn, Mr. Raikkonen, in the once mighty but now slightly comic :roll: red car from Maranello... and
6th place will go to his efficient partner in the other Ferrari ...altho' it seems that lil phil has his problems in the wet, too
7th place will go to the best driver on the grid in the least competitive machine (I think he could take 7th place in a Force India!), you know, the one from Renault. I mean the two time WDC Fernando Alonso
8th place will go to the efficient brit in the teutonic sled, I mean Lewis Hamilton, the defending champion. He may move up two or three slots depending on whether or not the previously named chaps can stay on the circuit.
It's on days like this that I actually almost miss Michael's Little Brother: just think how many contenders he could take out with him!

The Pole should be Jenson's with no sweat

Have a good Race!
and may the evil twins Bernie & Max be forced to change tyres for Juan Pablo Montoya (who looks like he will make the Championship Chase in the "NASCAR Moving Chicane - Joey Chitwood Follies"

I think this is the last F1 race I have to watch on Fox TV; I sure hope so! Jim Watt
