Well I will be there hoping that Vettel punts Schumacher off at the first corner. Come one Kimi just the time to win one with two Macca's keeping Alonso down the order! PS this is nostly good fun; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXw8is0U8Iw&fea... (but the Nazi bit is unnecessary & undermines the rest of the accurate message) McMerc = McLaren Mercedes I think Mercedes will be also-rans behind Lotus-Renault.

Is the order in which they'll crash into one another and retire. Rascal ...  No idea. Just hoping for another interesting race. Like to see Herr Schumacher have a good one, just to get right up the nostrils of someone here who reputedly is not his greatest fan...  .

Anyway.
Maldonado for the win; no particular reason apart from watching this forum explode. I predict Red Bull to be a lot stronger here. Toss up between them, the Mclarens and the Lotus guys. Alonso to qualify lower, but somehow come through strong.

"Jenson, Lewis never had a mechanical failure as you did. Confirm you understand the message" They are split by a mechanical failure. Lewis hardly seems like a team player, I doubt Jenson will be as accommodating at the moment.

I do have a feeling Hamiltons car may not make it though for some reason.. Hamilton is usually around 5-1 NOT to be classified in each race result. Had you had a similar bet on Schumacher for each race for the first half of the season, you'd be quids in! Now he's usually around 2 or 3-1 NOT to be classified. Sod's Law dictates that he'll probably not have another DNF during the rest of the season or, fail to finish in any ...  You pays yer money ... or, not..

Not sure about that, mechanical failures tend to even themselves out. What about Lewis qualifying on pole by half a second in Spain and starting from 24th?

Reason he ended up 24th was mechanical technically....

Had Lewis had the failure, he wouldn't have the 25 points, and Jenson would have won or at least come second. So pretty even points wise, all because of one mechanical failure.

The thing is if Lewis has a mechanical failure and button wins this race all that will mean is they will both be out the WDC this year so while he has the extra 25 points they need to focus on lewis

I can imagine JB allowing LH past if there's no risk to the overall team haul being dented but not in other circumstances. Unlike TheHeretic I don't hold his low opinion of LH's personality and think, even if he's on the way out to Mercedes, would do the right thing for the team and JB's title were the positions reversed.

Is the order in which they'll crash into one another and retire. Realistically, in my opinion, Mclaren will either be immense or disappointing, Lotus will either be very quick or disappointing and RBR and Ferrari will slot in around them. A lot has changed since Valencia (most similar circuit) and I think that Mclaren's pace at Hungary shouldn't be ignored, which was another similar circuit. But the allocation of soft and super soft tyres will have a huge effect.
