Postby Craig. » Sat Jul 19, 2003 11:22 am

again i will miss the grand prix:( oh well,
so predictions on who will win. i am going to go with a barichello win i think this week.

and on a side note, does anyone know if you can buy steering wheels that are designed like those used in F1 cars? moreso the BMW williams or ferrari they both have cool designs?
cheers guys:)

I think Michael Schumacher will take the win tomorrow. I know he's in P6 on the grid, but I never wright him off. Barrichello will fall foul of his low fuel load in qualifying. Three stops is one too many at Silverstone, unless it rains the he should be quids in!
Outside bet on Raikkonen, Montoya or Ralph.

whatever happens it had better be good, and problem free for the public or else it will be between 3 and 6 years before we see another grand prix in england :'( until they sort out the paddock there is going to be a good chance it will be removed from the calender, which will take two years, and by then russia china or any other competitor will have taken it.

It would be so very sad to see Britain loose it's GP, but Silverstone still needs some work. I don't personally feel that they will not take it away. I just think it's the FIA putting preassure on the Silverstone owners to get the work done quickly.

Thats 14.00 British Summer Time, or 15.00 European Summer Time.
I think one of the Williams boys will win, but I'm not putting money on which.
The missus is the F1 fan, so I'll just get a couple of hours flying done instead ;D

I'm going to have to do a rain dance if Schumacher is only P6. ;D. But like Tempest says,you cant ever write him off.Barrichello,I really doubt he'll win-he has to be the unluckiest F1 driver around.lol

Poor Barichello. Maybe next Grand Prix he will do better?...........

Say, how often is the GP?

Season ends in October and starts again in March. There are between 16 and 17 races a year now days and are normally every 2 weeks.

I wouldn't have guessed at Barrichello, but he drove a great race.
And what about the madman in the kilt on the track? What a braindonor!!!!

Barrichello drove the race of his life today and I'll be first to admit I didn't think he would win today. He made up for a bad start and drove superbly all afternoon.
As for that prat on the track, well just what Silverstone didn't need with it's future in the ballance.
