Where do you think Kimi will place on the grid?

I couldn't believe what happened to his rear spoiler last week.. Wow.

Yeah, he has had some bad luck this year with the car


I'll be a little optimistic & say he will be in the second row in the fourth spot, next to JPM.

1. M.Schumacher
2. F.Alonso
3. JP Montoya
4. K.Raikkonen
5. R. Barichello
6. J. Button
7. J. Trulli
8. D. Coulthard

I think he'll qualify in the top 3. Schumacher being in that group along with possibly Alonso. I pick Alonso because the Renault chassis seems to do well in this type of circuit. However all bets are off if it rains.

In regards to the wing failure, I was watching the Speed Channel explaining how some teams had a sort of movable wing that deflected to high loads in order to reduce drag. I believe we saw the result of going too far on Kimi's car.

Can't wait to see the new BMW/Williams nose after they ditched the walrus or hammerhead design.
