Voted Hamilton since McLaren is bringing a LOT of new parts, if they work, Hammy will be up there.

the pace shown by Vettel in Valencia was very 2011ish. Guaranteed that Newey and Renault have resolved that alternator problem and given the fact that Silverstone isn't going to have near the heat that Valencia did, it's hard to go against SV right now.

If it rains, I still like Vettel's chances, although diminished a bit if compared to dry conditions.

I voted for Button, but I would not count Schumacher out. Talk about being hungry after a taste of the podium once again.

Very changeable conditions over here at the moment. Rain showers are very sudden and sharp. This could be a very messy race and quali could be a lottery too!

I am sticking with Fernando Alonso. His car is improving with each race and his ability to take advantage of other driver's mistakes or misfortunes is remarkable. Fernando for the 2012 Championship

Though I'd picked N. Rosberg, I also like R. Grosjean's chance here...
Btw, did anyone heard why Renault had such multiple problems with alternator failures at Valencia???

2nd practice is a wee bit damp also

Senna slammed the wall the Alonso took the nose off after the chequered flew.

Quali is going to be very interesting if conditiona remain and setups unknown.
