Well, I certainly admire the optimosm of Kostas22 - although we could see the grid shaken up a bit, since rain is possible during the race weekend, according to the longer range forcasts.

10. Schumacher

Pole: Vettel
Fastest lap: Alonso
First Retirement: Di Grassi
ROTR: Williams (since Williams are not bringing any updates until Monaco, whilst everyone else is bringing new parts - so I expect them to fall even further down the field)
IIDOTR: Heikki (going out on a limb here, but Lotus are expecting to gain between 1.5-2 seconds a lap, and if that is true, then I can see Heikki genuinely putting pressure on the tail end of the mid field pack)
DBTMOTR: Schumacher (I expect better pace from him, but still expect Rosberg to out perform him)
