Lewis is in one of those really bad situations with the 10 place drop and being in a quick car.
Mclaren say they want to run him heavy, but of course they will make it into the top 10 which means they have to race with quali fuel. So if they go heavy in Q3 and end up say 5th or 6th, they drop to 15th and or 16th on the grid. Which would never work in a heavy car. Magny cours is about short stints with consistent fast speed. A heavy car gets killed round here, so if they want to stand a chance they are going to have to fill him light go for pole and start 11th on the grid, he'll then just have to use some of that driving talent to get upto around 5th or 6th by the 5th lap, if he can do that a podium is on the cards. But assuming the ferrari's can lock out the front row it'll be a case of everyone else fighting for the 3rd place.

Edit: changed Kubica to Heikki, Looking at the testing, and reading reports from several places, it seems BMW have gone back a couple
of tenths to the top two. I think if ever Heikki had the chance to shine and he really needs to, this will be his best shot.

Massa
Kubica

I think Ferarri have this one in the bag really, although it would be nice to see Heikki get a podium, but I doubt it.

Another in Q3

Total: 2

LOL A cheer went up from me when Jarno went backwards, you could just see it coming.

As for Heikki, Thats a BS penalty, and the poor guy cant catch a break (i'm not saying that because of my predictions)
I really do think someone is out to get the guy.
Alonso's placing was a surprise, as was how slow the Beemers were. I could see a third place for Alonso. It'll now be a case of dry race and no problems for either, and the Ferrari's really will be off down the road fighting amongst themselves.

Well done Jarno

I'm a bit annoyed about Kimi's exhaust though.....lost me 5 points 

.mic

Bah! Not quite the race i wanted it to be - but hey, some are going to go that way

Needed rain! A few spots just wasnt enough! So what caused Kimis exhaust  exit to fall off then?  Bizarre - although im not sure it puts Massa in the driving seat for the championship totaly, he 'could' fail to finish Silverstone, Lewis wins and Kimi + Kubica dont score - and its all on its head again!

LOL the thing I find funny is, now the british press are turning on him, and thats being used by Allen as an excuse for his poor performance. And the sad fact is, Lewis still hasn't learned to just shut his mouth and do the job on track. His little, comment before the race about legends being made from the back of the grid and his quite obvious hint that he would do the same was disrespectful to the guys in front of him. He's not in GP2, 90% of the grid arn't paying to be in a seat that they really dont deserve.
I was highly ticked off that they didn't show the lap of Kimi's as they usually do for the track guide, add in the lack of the press conference despite ending the show 8 minutes early, and the endless commercial breaks, it just seems ITV no longer give a damn, now the BBC have the rights.
I will as always give them their due for the 60 years of Silverstone piece. I was looking forward to this one the most and it didn't dissapoint. I Getting to see the clips of the FW14b and Murray Walker, along with the Belguim gp highlights for schumi, just brought back so many memories of perhaps the best time for F1 in my opinion.

Whatever you think of Lewis though, and it seems plenty dont like him - although i think hes bloody good personaly - his first pass on Alonso at turn 3? Just on the main straight - where they appeared to bang wheels i thought was blooming great! Wether Alonso was heavy or whatever, it was good to watch!

The results from France...



Approaching the halfway stage, a 3-way tie for the lead   

Craig will be looking after the Silverstone round, as I'm off on me hols..

LOL it was Nigel Mansell who after trouncing Piquet, who at one stage he was 28 seconds behind, kissing the track, and beating piquets fastest lap 12 times, yes 12 times noted that the crowd 'definetley put five seconds in my pocket'

British GP 1987. Classic Race!

From what ive read the Macs have been quick in testing at Silverstone!
