Interesting choice given that your predicted gap between Alonso and Massa is bigger than the gap between Kubica and Petrov ...

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.

I believe in HWNSNBM. He will make this one good...by making a bunch of front runners crash into each other at the start.
