My podium prediction, which is completely without thought, is going to include Button, Rosberg and Kovalainen, but not in that order.

Frosty wrote:Yeah. Everyone knows it's there, but I don't think McLaren is the place for Heikki. I wouldn't mind seeing him at Williams.Denthúl wrote:My podium prediction, which is completely without thought, is going to include Button, Rosberg and Kovalainen, but not in that order.It would be great if HK can really push forward and produce the speed that i honestly think he has.

That must be one hell of a good upgrade if it's worth missing an entire session over.
Lewis Hamilton (McLaren)
Jenson Button (Brawn)
Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari)
Rubens Barrichello (Brawn)
Heikki Kovalainen (McLaren)
Fernando Alonso (Renault)
Nico Rosberg (Williams)
Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull)

Frosty wrote:Now, this i don't get - back in 2007, Ferrari had a longer wheelbase car than McLaren and (according to the likes of Brundle) it was a large part in their ability to dominate circuits with fast corners, eg Silverstone whereas the McLaren was very good at Monaco. The difference in wheelbase length was basically nil in 2008 and it showed i guess... anyway, in light of that does anyone know why they think a shorter wheelbase would benefit them, especially at a place like Spa?Longbow wrote:jeez that longer wheelbase chasis don't half stick outThe new shorter chassis is supposed to help out at the high speed circuits of Spa and Monza
Kimi has done it! The youngest ever F1 champion. A[…]
