Well Race Fans, this year is a lot of fun picking!! Heres' mine along with a brief explanation:
![1st :1st:](./images/smilies/1st.gif)
Sebastian Vettel; for the last two years RBR has locked out the first row on the grid
![Very Happy <iframe src="http://riptidebait :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I don't see any reason for this to change.
![2nd :2nd:](./images/smilies/2nd.gif)
Kimi Raikkonen; the Lotus is FAST
![Burnout :burnout:](./images/smilies/burnout.gif)
and Kimi would be a two time WDC if McLaren had been able to get his cars hold together when he was driving them!
![3rd :3rd:](./images/smilies/3rd.gif)
Lewis Hamilton: he's been 3rd on the Grid for the last two years & finished 2cd last year
ACTUALLY the Podium could feature any combination of these three cars & drivers
4th: Mark Webber: the Webbo's nothing if not consistent this year, finishing just off the podium for four races in a row!
![Alright :alright:](./images/smilies/alright.gif)
5th: Jenson Button: I don't see the racing gods smiling on him this year
6th: Grosjean: fastest at Mugello! and learning fast, too!
![Woohoo :woohoo:](./images/smilies/woohoo.gif)
7th: Fernando Alonso: hard not to put him in the points; it IS his home race, but not this year
![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](./images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)
8th: Rosberg: the Mercs looked slow at Mugello; who knows what Ross is up to
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
9th: Kamui Kobayashi: the Japanese Comet could go higher up the list if he can catch a break!
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
10th: Michael Schumacher: wouldn't it be nice to see him on the podium again? Not bloody likely though
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
Pole: Sebastian Vettel: the boy's on form again!
Now we can just sit back and wait and see what surprises are in store this Sunday!
![Cheers :cheers:](./images/smilies/cheers.gif)

The temperatures will be lower in Spain, which means Mercedes can do well. I am not sure I did well to pick Rosberg for pole though.
