Vettel feels embarassed that he had the Canadian GP win in the bag and made a slight mistake. I think he comes back and takes pole and win walking away from everyone. But you can never count out Sato. He's eliminated all the DNFs this year!

I'm pretty sure that Vettel will secure pole, but Fernando is wayyyyyy overdue for a win. Hamilton will come out of the gate charging like a bull (not red), overly eager to get himself another win. Button obviously can not be ignored and no question is extremely capable We can all look forward to another exciting race

Very impressive that Sato does not have a single DNF in F1 in 2011.

Vettel will bounce back, no question. Its hard to imagine that he will not respond with a superlative effort in this race. That has been his MO this year.

Sticking with Vettel, he's still the cream of the crop.

I don't know if he is the cream of the crop, but he does have the better car

I gotta go with Vettel. I suspect he is chomping at the bit to prove he is the fastest and make amends for his mistake that cost him the victory in Montréal.

Vettel pole and win.
Webber
Alonso

Shumacher 5th or 6th.

NOT SO FAST..................


In its "infinite" wisdom, F1 bans the "innovators" of technology.
I thought F1 was supposed to be the pinnacle of "TECHNOLOGY"



In a note sent from F1 technical delegate Charlie Whiting to the teams, he made it clear that with immediate effect teams will no longer be allowed to change engine maps between qualifying and the race.

Such a move will effectively prevent teams from running an extreme engine map for qualifying - such as one that produces more exhaust blowing or burns more fuel – and then reverting to a safer setting for the grand prix itself.

If you do well, you get punished.

I look to Ferrari and Mclaren to now be a force.

1) Hamilton
2) Button
3) ALonso

Safe to say the Ferrari garage is not very warm and fuzzy at the moment.....
