Predictions for Silverstone GP

Ok, how about some predictions for the GP at Silverstone. We all know that Hamilton & McLaren are going to try to win it for their people but Ferrari has shown considerable improvement in the French GP and also both Kimi and Felippe commented that the test they did at Silverstone last week went very well. I say that we will see another win from Kimi he must be desperate to get into competition for the championship!

Kimi will retire early after a heavy party night.....

In all seriousness, I love back-to-back F1 weekends.....I'm just glad we've got another race this weekend.

It's going to be an interesting race, that's for sure. Hamilton is absolutely determined to get it, he wants to add to the history of British drivers winning at Silverstone. People in UK are making it such a big deal, (showing the GP in Cinemas etc).

Alonso is soo pissed by being overshadowed by his rookie teamate and Massa wants to get into the chamionship points. Kimi is too anxious to win more races and prove that his talent is still there. I say Kimi has really good chances of getting it, Ferrari has shown considerable pace last GP and Massa, unless he manages to get pole and lead from the beginning, he won't be able to overtake and challenge other drivers.

Good chance of rain, but I see Massa and Alonso being overly aggressive and making mistakes.

+1, if Hami and Kimi get through Copse cleanly at the start.

As mentioned previously, I think Donkey is so frustrated he will make a mistake or two. Good riddance.
