yurp 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2011 Where? At home. Where else?Pole - Vettonso Win - Vettonso FL - Vettonso Yes - Hedging my bets right now. TBH This first race will be very interesting. I'm undecided from testing as to which package will start out on top this season - Ferrari+Alonso or RedBull+Vettel I think that overall 2011 will be Alonso's 3rd WDC with the WCC to Red Bull, but it could be that Red Bull start our winning the first few races.

Kopite Girl 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2011 Button FTW! Gonna try not to make predictions this season, sit back, root for my boys to do well and generally enjoy F1. That's what I did in 2009, and look how that ended. So happy racing is back. I ****ing hate off season. And with 4 races to go to - Monaco, GB, Italy and Brazil, I most definitely am not complaining.

ribbit 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2011 pole = vettel win = button what i'm looking forward to? vettel's helmet (one of the things i look forward to every race), will HRT qualify and if they do how many laps do they make? heikki finishing in the points, and speed's broadcast not sucking. the latter two having very slim chances of happening, but holding out hope for heikki anyway.

Have a good look at the name above... this will make or break a lot of hearts this year, and that wont be any different come first race of the season. so its really hard to predict who. Pirelli compound is all set to promote twice as more nail biting this season... My prediction for the race so far... (it may change after practice sessions, and again after the qualifying) Starting Grid: 1. Vettle 2. Alonso 3. Hamilton 4.Webber 5. Massa 6. button .... Maybe.. Final results: 1. Alonso 2. Vettle 3. Webber 4. Massa 5. Button 6. Hamilton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
