Who do you think will be a dark horse for a podium in the Belgium GP? On last years efforts perhaps Sutil could step onto the podium. Also, I think Kobayashi will be an interesting one to watch, perhaps not for a podium but he does have that Ferrari engine behind him and will be interesting to see how he handles a real driver's track.

I'd like to say both Williams drivers may be in line for a sneaky podium but I don't think that Cosworth engine has the guts to get them in the top 6. I do think they will go pretty close though as they seem to have a good car at the moment.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Sutil.

However, I think that the top three will more than likely be both Red Bulls and a McLaren. Maybe two McLarens and one Red Bull, it depends on whether the Red Bulls' aero advantage is enough to, for the most part, cancel out the McLarens' straight-line speed advantage.

Lewis is going to bang in a win here so there.

A dark horse would be Rosberg. Horsepower plus Mercedes keen to make amends plus some serious talent, Rosberg for 4th! (Redbulls 2nd and 3rd)

Its funny how Michael Schumacher would now be considered a dark horse, but I was going to include him cause usually he thrives off public criticism about his bad boy behaviour but with that ten place grid penalty I doubt he will go near the podium. But if he doesn't show a more than decent attack through the pack, on a track that he loves, then I would say he is past his ability for F1 cause clearly the desire has gone. Hopefully he proves me wrong even though I also hope Rubens drives around him on the outside of Eau Rouge haha, two great combatants at each others throat, you gotta love it!!!

Massa, failing that, Button, failing that Kobayashi, failing that... Sutil! But I suspect it's going to be a Red Bull, hopefully Webber!

To keep things spicy in the WDC race, I'd love the podium to be McLaren, Red Bull, Ferrari.
