Sorry for the late poll, I've been up in Montreal all week. Practice 1 just started.

Who will win?

Vettel will learn the track quickest and take the win. Outside chance to HamHead.

Agree that Vettel and Hammy are probably the 2 best "new studies" for a track. I think Hammy will win as long as he doesn't suffer another mechanical failure. But Alonso's got a chance of pulling together some magic if he wants to stay in the points race.

I agree that Vettel figures this place out the earliest. It would be great to see Kimi on the podium again.

Vettel show's them how to win practice 1. Think he was trying to make a statement?

Hamilton always does well on a new track and I tip him for the win. Alonso will push like mad to get up there, but in the end, Vettel will play conservative knowing he can't DNF and could wrap up both championships by Sunday.

Kimi will party with the University of Texas coeds and be more legendary than ever

P1 in FP1 with a 1:38.125 which is 1.4 seconds up on HamHead and 2.2 seconds up on Alonso.

from Sniff Petrol (if you put 'the hog' on the poll, they'd have voted for him)

Adrian's car with the kid driving it wins

P1, 2 & 3 Times really tell you nothing, who know what they are trying out there.
It all comes down to Q2 and Q3

Kimi knows how to get 're done

Interesting how Seb sat back in P1 until late then came out and blitzed the field.......Newey must have found a few new parts.

It is going to be very hard for anyone to beat Seb He has the best car and looked damn good in practice Fernando will be near the front and must win today to challenge Seb for the title
