New season, new SimV competition

It only seems like yesterday that Brazil hosted the last GP of the 2007 season, now it's a clean slate for all and it starts over Cool

Predict the podium (top 3 places) for a chance to win BIG!

1st prize this year is to take the SimV crown from Craig Grin

2nd prize is to be the runner up Tongue

The rules are in THIS THREAD.

Can you do better than last year?

Raikonnen,
Hamilton,
Finally in the hope that Fernando really loses it, Piquet. I reckon young Nelson might do him in qualifying too...

LOL I think I need to brush up on my spanish to hear fernando swearing and having a nervous breakdown when that happens.
And whats with all this hostility and focus on me? Shocked

You'll all regret it.
Since the first few races are unpredictable even after quali, I wont wait and I'm going to go on both my own pre-season observations and paddock talk.

1: Raikkonen
2: Massa
3: Kovalainen

My reasoning? Well the ferrari's right now in race trim are upwards of 6 tenths of a second a lap quicker when on heavy fuel and fresh tyres, and when even'd out at lighter loads still 3 to 4 tenths a lap faster. Kimi has shown he's faster by a tenth or two per lap over Massa so it's probably going to be them 1-2 barring technical problems. I'm saying Heikki for third because he's actually been faster than Lewis in race trim for the majority of the winter. So third will come down to who qualifys better out of those two, if Kovi can stick to him till pitstops are done with he'll stand a chance of getting past.

OK then, I reckon:
1 Raikkonen
2 Massa
3 Hamilton.
Ferrari looks like the class of the field this year and if the new car is any good on the slower tracks it should be a Ferrari 1-2 all season.

B*ll*cks is all I can say lol.
Good quali to be fair. We may see another Kimi raikkonen through the pack special.
Lewis to win this just has to look after his tyres. He can't drive his throw it everywhere approach or else it'll be worse than his china situation.

I'm not worried. Always knew that would be a toughy to predict, this is where the season really starts to figure itself out.

First race is just a shake down really. Though I think some cars shook a little more than they should have Grin

I'm sure after DC's colourful threats to Massa, I think he might be shaking too. Grin
