We're back to north america, and back to one of the best circuits on the calender. Usually pleanty of action, overtaking, and a safety car or two to throw some guess work to the predictions.
Good luck, as always picks in by the start of Quali please.

The one track where Shumi may have an advantage.   Cheesy

One of the greatest last corners in racing.  Smiley

1. Vettel
2. Webber
3. Alonso

I'd like to think Schumi has a chance, but it's going to take bad weather, safety cars, or a lot of unreliability to help him.
In Turkey the Mclarens were hitting a top speed of 201mph at the end of the straight. The red bulls about 198/199.
The Merc's despite having the most powerful engine on the grid, were struggling to hit 193mph. Unless they have been able to sort out their Aero package and F-duct, I have a feeling it'll be much the same and they'll get eaten alive on the straights.

Kubica

Canada requires cohonas of the large variety... these 3 have them in abundance (coupled with good cars or I'd have Alonso in there)

Subject to edit after practice of course...  Grin

I would like to agree with Shane. Schumi still have a long way to go again. but he only moved up this season....

Is this the first race with the new aero rules at Canada?  This could be interesting Grin

Nooooo I was about to come on here with a smug reply that webber has been demoted to 7th on the grid with a gearbox change. And now I've just seen I didn't pick Vettel as i thought Sad Lips Sealed Cheesy
Oh well so close to the grid prediction.
So either way Mark Webber will be starting 7th today,

Proper race track, provides proper racing Smiley great race.
Michael was undefendable today. It's one thing to struggle on shot tyres, it's another to collide with some 4 cars including the guy who's supposed to be one of his best mates.
