F1 GP Valencia: Your predictions

Massa
Kimi
Lewis

I'm sticking by my dislike for the track, but, that final section has really grown on me. The fast double apex right, and the final right kink into the last left takes absolute precision and guts at full throttle.

The Ferrari's look hooked up. Massa looks very quick on his long runs, but a little erratic on the single lap flyers, Kimi is the opposite. Lewis looks quick on the single laps but has made some errors on the longer runs. Although its tough to judge mclarens overall pace as they've hardly run in comparison to most the teams.

I can't wait for F1 "whenever" to come out on the PS3, the Valencia track looks a real blast!
I'd imagine it's quite satisfying to get right..

I agree completely. I think Once I know they track it'll be easier to like it. I've been watching an onboard from Kubica this morning to just try and get a basic idea, and it's still a bit confusing in places.

Well apart from the Ferrari incidents it was a rather boring race.  :-/

A fine and reprimand for Ferrari, no penalty for Massa. Thank god. A perfect weekend otherwise.
Massa is absolutely on fire now, had he not blown up in hungary he'd be 5 or 6 points clear.
Vettel, hell of a race.

Massa drove a perfect race, watching the live timing he banged in some superb laps just before his second stop, hard to fault!. I expected more from 'the ice man' however. Lacklustre. I guess he may do better at spa, well he has to or surely ferrari are going to have to get behind massa now?

But yet another engine blow up - and a messed up pitstop which looked pretty nasty. Hardly perfect on his side of the garage

Hamilton drove well for second, his laps before the first stop were pretty impressve also!

Just deserts for the 'fans' i thought -

[Craig.]

I agree again with you mate. Martins talk with schumi made up for that farce talk with Ryder a few weeks ago. Was quite funny to see the tension still there though between the two.
Did you also notice post race, Mark's comments towards Massa? Really giving him credit and basically refuting everything Ryder was saying, You could almost see Steve clenching his butt cheeks after every answer. I think Ryder is the only one on the team now riding Hamilton for all he's worth, everyone else is starting to spread out their praise and interest. Maybe an attempt to win a job with the BBC? :-?

Cheers Craig and Rob for getting mine up.....

Didn't see the race as I was at about 30000 feet when it was happening

I guess that Ferrari will have to do some more R&D quality control

Same problem that hit Massa's engine last race.
