he might go for a one stopper tomorrow
Hope he wins :up:

Quartet RBR, McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes seem to rise above others, so the underdogs have now little chance of creating an upset. Button looked decent in Q1 and Q2, but for some reason failed in Q3. In pre-season it was claimed that F2012 is better at heating tyres than F150. Based on Canada it seems to be the case, Alonso is a much bigger threat on Saturday.

alas yes- so all those that moaned about the unpredictability of 2012 can now sleep well at night with the usual order re-established

Is that just a hunch Jens.. or had Pirrelli been reported to be considering this? Here was me thinking it just be this particular circuit rewarding the most aero efficient cars despite the nature of the tyres. Either way, It certainly will be interesting tomorow. :)
I missed the pickems deadline so here are my 1st three. I have that gut feeling that Vettel will control the race as he wishes, Hamilton will go backwards again, Alonso to finish second after having a brief go at Vettel, Hamilton third.. maybe?.. well, if McLaren keep their eye on the ball for a change. ;)

Any chance for rain tomorrow?

I hope it rains tomorrow. Grosjean is my pick to win!

I'm hoping but regarding Grosjean winning, I'll say even with no car on the track on the first lap, he'd still spin a few times by himself ;)

True dat'
