I'd agree with that in the case of Spa this year. I can't see any way the Mercedes is going to have the mid lap performance to keep race pace with the Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull. I'd probably plump for:

Hamilton
Alonso
Vettel
Button
Webber
Massa

Wet or dry.

[weyland yutani]

Spa, the best circuit on the calander imo along with Suzuka, can't wait for this.

[Streps]

Please be a wet/drying race.

Mercedes engine equipped teams always have a habit of doing well.

I'm expecting Mclaren,Mercedes and Force india to do well.

[hairykrishna]

If it rains I can see Schumacher making the podium. He's at 150/1 to win so I might even have a cheeky fiver on it.

I reckon he can.

Only at this circuit though.

The Merc has the best DRS system in the field. They have very good straightline speed.

I think it's probably Schumacher's last chance though.

[Mr_Thyroid]

The Mercs may well qualify well and keep pace with RB/McL/Fer for maybe four laps but then it'll need to pit for new tires.

DiResta to be best of the rest in 6/7th. Webber to win.

Indeedicles. Love Spa. Hoping for a wet/dry race, and another Button win, but who knows. Season seems to be going the way of Buttons in 2009, and anyone can win a race from now on.

[jbudgie]

I hope 'fingers' doesn't win.


Either of the Macca's will do.

[the other me]

Been at Spa since 93, every race, still hate Schumi for what he did to Hill in 94 (and the Barichello incident last year didn't help to change my mind) but oddly enough I would applaud a good result from him in Spa. Seen some masterful performances from him there, even if "Mad Davie" has also seen the other side of the coin. . . daft German that he is, nonetheless good luck to him.

Bit like Dick Dastardly in Wacky Races, you have to love the "bad guy" ? ? sometimes ? ?

Macca 1-2 would be ideal, with webber 3rd, also 4 and vettel out the points.

Made me giggle too but would love to see a wet race and what MS can make of it.

Not in that Merc, not unless wonders have been worked on it during the 'summer break', orthe RB's, McMercs, and 'rrari's all take one another out at 1st corner...................

Not too wet as im camping. Drizzle I can cope with.

Schumi at 150/1 thats worth 50p ew.

[Life Saab Itch]

The good news is, it's a week away tomorrow.

The bad news is, it's still over a week away.
