Silverstone predictions!
Well, the title says it all. I'm hoping for a Fonzi retirement a 1-2 Ferrari and 3-4 Maca....Ferrari broke the fastest lap record at Barcelona this week! Very impress!
Weather- Good chance of rain ! I hope we have a wet race! should be exciting...Silverstone/Canada/US should be Ferrari's 1-2 IMO. They have he strongest engine on the grid, and these 3 circuits require power and top speed, which the Scuderia has-oh and a very efficient Aero. Hopefully by the time we get to Mangy-cours we can be back in the game for the WDC and WCC!

Instead, on the last lap of Q3 qualifying, he takes an inside line leading to an apex nearly 20 feet short of the correct apex... how is this possible unless it was intentional? We'll never agree on this, but virtually all the F1 community was ashamed of the display... that is, all but Shumi... and yourself.
IMO, he cheated... It's also ancient history.
I think Silverstone will be a toss-up among Ferrari, Renault, and McLaren. The Renaults will NOT DNF... They are as bulletproof as the Ferraris, and whether you like it or not, Alonso is as cool and calculating a customer as Schumacher in his early years. This from someone who drinks neither Ferrari or Renault cool-aid.
Raikkonen and Montoya both like Silverstone. If their cars hold up, they should do well.

Hmm I was hoping for a wet race, but it seems like its getting hotter and hotter. Hopefully the British weather changes drasticly over the following days so we can have a nice wet weather. Silverstone is Macas home turf, and i expect them to do very well. I know asking for a DNF from Fonzi is near impossible. But i think it would be good for the championship if
A) He retires here- MS gets 1st !
B) He decides not to take part of the USGP like last year hahaha and Ferrari get a 1-2 !
as longest we get a tooth and nail fight all the way to the end of the season, i'm happy-even if MS loses ( well i wont be happy if MS losses but you get the idea) Also hopefully Kimi joins the Reds, and leaves Maca for good. Poor guy, he has probably had more mechanical failures then anyone in the history of F1.

I have hotel reservations, flight and race tickets for Monza in September. Also, tentatively I'll hit Hockenheim at the end of July (poor man's trip with general admission only and possibly camping!).
I don't have tickets for the WC. My GM's in Europe were unable to secure any for me (true statement!), and we are no longer allowed to accept them from business partners. I have 3 WC towns within 2 hours drive, so I'll definitely drive up to a couple just to get the experience... who knows, I might even score some tickets!

So because of you I went to the Fifa ticket website, and saw that they have availability for Sweden vs Trinidad tomorrow night... so now I have spent the last hour or so trying to buy the stupid tickets online... so here's the routine...
-You hit the refresh button like an idiot until the match becomes available (supposedly it means someone who had the ticket in their cart just dropped it).
-You select the number of tickets you want and type the robot-proof code.
-You are redirected to a so-called waiting, where you are greeted by this message:
-After hitting Next Try (and waiting 30 seconds each time), you get to one of these 2:
Or
Rinse and repeat.

Dear football fan,
You are in waiting area at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ ticket shop.
To improve the speed and ease of use of the service, we have imposed a limit on the number of visitors able to use the ticket shop simultaneously.
At regular intervals, you can make a fresh attempt to be re-directed. After the countdown (displayed below) has completely finished, a button labelled "Next Try" appears. Clicking this button improves your chances of progressing from here.
Once you have been redirected, you will not be directed into the waiting room again. Access to the following pages may involve long waiting times at peak periods. We recommend returning and trying again later.
Please be patient!
Do not click your browser's refresh button, as this causes the countdown to reset, decreasing the likelihood you will be redirected!
To try again, please use the button below which becomes active regularly after a short waiting period.

Reservation not possible
Sorry, somebody was faster than you. The display of available tickets will be updated at regular intervals. But due to high demand it may happen that tickets are displayed as available in the overview, though they were meanwhile added to somebody else’s virtual shopping cart in the course of his or her ordering process. Therefore you receive this notice.
If the ordering process is not completed by this customer the tickets are made available for other potential buyers after a short while. Therefore, if you start over the ordering process after a couple of minutes, the tickets can possibly be available for you to buy again.
Thank you for your understanding.

Yea, the Renaults were on autopilot all day. You knew it was all over once the Ferraris and McLarens pitted before the Renaults. No Contest... Game over... Put a fork in it, it's done...
