I'll go for the kill, and probably fail hilariously, with my three out by lap 4, or if I'm lucky, the first pit stops...


Here goes - none of this namby-pamby waiting for Friday practice! Grin

1. Button. Yes, Jenson Button
2. Kubica
3. Raikonnen.

All carefully considered choices. Carefully considered for at least 20 seconds! Smiley

William Hill now have Button 3/1 favourite - covering their backs against the occasional punter if I've ever seen it!

Nakajima or Rosberg could be good outside bets at 100/1 and 50/1. Huh

well I dont blame them but after the last tests where Renault matched and beat BGP and williams as well, I think things are going to be a little more complicated than the sudden speed of bgp suggests.
I'm not going to bet against Ferrari/ BMW or Mclaren just yet.

I think I will wait for some practice times first. There is way too much "new" this year to even come close to Charlie's madness bravery Grin, though if Brawn is as good as they say it is..........

I'll take bets on how many cars retire in the first lap:  6

Um, probably somewhere in the vicinity of 6 Grin

Heck if it rains, it could resemble something like CART at Surfers Paradise 2002 when nearly all of the field (besides the top 3 or 4) were involved
