The fight at the top is very close! Good luck everyone

First to submit.... wonders will never cease.
Now I have actually remembered to put tips in despite not recieving a letter to remind me.... yes wonders will NEVER cease!!

This year I have been up and down like a yo-yo so here are the tips you may wish to note.....


Winner: Kimi Raikkonen

Second: Sebastian Vettel

Third: Rubens Barrichello

Fourth: Mark Webber

Fifth: Lewis Hamilton

Sixth: Nico Rosberg

Seventh: Jenson Button

Eighth: Fernando Alonso

Pole: Sebastian Vettel

Or may wish to totally ignore. Your choice.

I think that my tips for this weekend will definitely give Jim Watt a good and hearty laugh.
Not sure why I think the Kimster can pull a win but there it is ..... and I am not one to question the ancient art of F1 tip picking.

this happens it'll make for an interesting finale...

Winner: Sebastian Vettel

Second: Rubens Barrichello

Third: Lewis Hamilton

Fourth: Kimi Raikkonen

Fifth: Timo Glock

Sixth: Heikki Kovalainen

Seventh: Fernando Alonso

Eighth: Jenson Button

Pole: Rubens Barrichello

Well, JacFan, I had a hunch Kimi could win in Brazil, and, since I have fallen to overall rank of 139, I even considered picking him. But then I checked the weather in Sao Paulo. They're showing R-A-I-N for the entire weekend, so...

I think Seb. Vettel will pip Lewis H. for the win. In order to win the WDC, the German has to win both in Brazil and Abu Whatever [Bernie E's latest WUNDERTRACK ] so he will go all out; Lewis will probably just be out done by the kid.

So that makes a Silver Merc/McLaren on the podium (I can't wait for Kimi to come and play J.P. Montoya to Lewis's Mikka H.! )

will go to the local fav, old man Rubens Barrichello in his RossBraunMobile

and behind him, just off the podium, in Fourth Place, will be the OTHER Braun/Merc, driven by Mr. Drama himself, Jenson Button . Will that be enough to clinch his WDC? I hope not, for Seb's sake.

Fifth Spot, if he can keep the car on the track and keep the engine running, should go to the Hard Luck King, Mark Webber in the other Red Bull.

Sixth, because he's not the best rain meister will be Kimi Raikkonen in what they persist in calling a Ferrari

Seventh place will be Fernando's ... will there be ANY sponsors on the Pariah mobile? Maybe a [Diet] Pepsi Cola sticker?

and the final point for Eighth should go to the Hard Luck Prince, Robert Kubica in whatever Peter S. is calling his machine these days. I just hope BMW remembers to bring some engines to Brazil....

The Pole will be the Hambone's; I predict he'll be behind Seb V. on the track and just pip him at the end.

Looking forward to some excitement for a change and sincerely hope JacFan's crystal ball is good!
