Vettel. That one will be a bore, even with tires and DRS.*

*Hope I'm wrong...

I am part of the group that believe the European tracks favor McLaren and Ferrari in the sense that whatever edge RBR has had is somewhat negated That doesn't mean that McLaren or Ferrari will blow RBR away, I just think that the European tracks sort of level the playing field Once again, I think that we are in for a hell of a race I pick Fernando Alonso to win, but I am really surprised that no one has chosen Hamilton

Because all the teams test here, the field will be closer than any track so far. It could be anyone on pole, but the usual suspects will emerge: Vettel over Webber, Hamilton over Jensen. Ferrari just can't get temp into their tires for their flying lap, but seem to get stronger and stronger as the race progresses.

What exactly, makes you feel this way?

I'm sticking with Vettel.

Yes! Keep Turkey GP. Nice race track to boot.
Vettel will probably win again but there are couple of new drivers with future stars that I like to watch(Di Resta,Perez, and Kamui)

It'll be interesting to see if DRS and KERS can help this race from being the yawn-fest I seem to recall it being. I hope it is (interesting, that is).

MJ-Are you lounging trackside? Would have liked to come but we're doing some kewl stuff to the car before the NASA event in a few weeks. It was more important to be ready for it. Have a good one.

Artificial bandwidth doesn't make for good conversation. As a result, your absense has made these threads bearable.

FWIW, Johnny Herbert couldn't beat MS when he was in his 20s. NOW when MS is 42 years old he comes back and tries talking smack? It's always easier to throw stones from the sidelines.

Since Little John in his mid 40s too, he should give it a go in these new formula cars and see how he fairs.
