:D :D Well Race Fans, this year is a lot of fun picking!! Heres' mine along with a brief explanation:

:1st: Sebastian Vettel; for the last two years RBR has locked out the first row on the grid :D I don't see any reason for this to change.
:2nd: Kimi Raikkonen; the Lotus is FAST :burnout: 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: Lewis Hamilton: he's been 3rd on the Grid for the last two years & finished 2cd last year :up: :up:

ACTUALLY the Podium could feature any combination of these three cars & drivers 8) 8)

4th: Mark Webber: the Webbo's nothing if not consistent this year, finishing just off the podium for four races in a row! :alright:
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:
7th: Fernando Alonso: hard not to put him in the points; it IS his home race, but not this year :evil:
8th: Rosberg: the Mercs looked slow at Mugello; who knows what Ross is up to :roll:
9th: Kamui Kobayashi: the Japanese Comet could go higher up the list if he can catch a break! :?
10th: Michael Schumacher: wouldn't it be nice to see him on the podium again? Not bloody likely though :oops:
Pole: Sebastian Vettel: the boy's on form again! :clap: :up: :clap:

Now we can just sit back and wait and see what surprises are in store this Sunday! :cheers: Jim Watt
