European GP

bum-man · 05-02-2006, 09:40 AM

My predictions:

Quali:
Kimi
Alonso
Michael
Ralph (on fumes)
Jaun
Massa

Race:
Alonso
Michael
Fisi

Highlights:
-Ralph makes it half a lap until his car sputters to a halt.
-Kimi leads the race comfortably until disgruntled ex-Mercedes employee runs out onto track in protest. Race is red flagged, ex-Mercedes employee is tackled...by Haug.
-Alonso gets excellent run on Kimi for restart. Alonso takes lead.
-Kimi taken out of race due to large low flying bird that flies into sidepod radiator overheating then blowing the engine same lap.
-Fisi charges through the field starting from last (due to precautionary engine change) and takes the last podium position.
-Jaun loses positions by aggressively lapping a Super Aguri and spinning out in the process.
-DC shows Scott Speed how to overtake properly by overtaking him, Scott flicks DC off, BOTH HANDS! Loses control of his Toro Rosso ending his day in the gravel pit.
-Ron cries.

Good one

I'm still looking at the latest test results and speculation to try to figure out how it's going to go. McLaren, Renault and Ferrari on top for sure.

I doubt Kimi will be up there in quali, because they always seem to fuel him up loads! I reckon though Mclaren will try very hard to win because it's MBs home GP! Same with BMW Sauber!

Am I right in saying Kimi has never finished a Nurburgring? (I think I heard that somewhere)

bum-man · 05-03-2006, 01:03 PM

Let's see here: rear wing failure one year, engine failure another, and a drive shaft failure last year, which makes the bird thing quite plausable since it has yet to happen.

It seems Ferrari really have the place, I wonder if Ferrari are back!

These practice runs aren't really to trust when trying to predict the race. The cars run on different set ups. This is just developing.
