F1 GP Valencia: Your predictions

[MWISimmer]

A brand new street circuit, not tight and twisty like Monaco but fast and flowing, McLaren compare it to Hockenheim.. apparently.

A bit of luck could see anybody on the podium as the circuit is an unknown quantity... get guessing!

1: Massa
2: Hamilton
3: Raikkonen


EDITED.. out with Trulli, in with Felipe  ;D

Not predicting this till after FP. As for the hockenheim comparison, only in terms of wing levels. It's closer to turkey for layout and canada for what to expect. Lots of safety cars is whats predicted. Yay,

Hmmmm. Certainly need to see some practice on friday before making a call on this one. But if its like hockenheim, turkey and canada, then a Hamilton win?, or maybe Massa?. However, Kimi might pull his finger out and shock us all!!

Noted some GP2 drivers raced here some weeks ago, either in single seaters or some sort of GT thing. Should be interesting also!

theres pleanty of onboards of the track. It's rather boring to be honest. Lots of high concrete walls, no real feel or atmosphere right now. Very American street course like. Best way to look into predictions is weather. Again if its hot it plays to ferrari, if its cooler then Mclaren. There isn't a differance between the two now in terms of pace, it's simply tyre use and reliabililty.

Interesting, I didn't realisde the bridge they cross was a swing bridge. Just think of the fun they could have if at random points it were opened. All stop at the entrance, if your already on it, prepair to swim.

If it's anything like the last few races it'll be a lottery anyway  ;D

Well, tried to watch some of Free Practice, and despite the BT broadband advert happily working under the live feed, all i got was stuttering >: -  Not good for my umpty tens of pounds-a-month 8mb internet, supplied by....oh thats BT then....When the 10 day 'settling in' period is up  - in which your broadband 'will speed up and down until its finds a nice balance between speed and quality' mine has got slower - Ill be bending BTs ear!!!!

Anyway, rant over.

Saw Glock have a spin, toyota, BMW, ferrari and the macs exchanging fastest times, with Alonso occasionly in there -  so still looks a little unpredictable despite FP not really meaning a lot!

Ill go -

Hamilton
Kimi
Kova

The track sucks. And from looking at vettels laps, its quicker to drive off the track than it is to use the racing line. Kimi looks nowhere and once again its nothing between the mclarens and ferrari's. I shall wait for FP2 to make my picks.

nutcase tried to become Fisi's hood orniment to start FP2. Nice.
