Button mainly because he has said he has stopped sulking. If not hopefully Red Bull

Not so much a dark horse but I'd love it if Barrichello were to win. And a wet race would make things a lot more tense and a more unexpected.

the f-duct will be a good advantage here like in canada, the real question is how fast will the redbulls be through the long corners and if mclaren can produce a good setup. but that being said it will be a good fight between ferrari mclaren and redbull so lets hope its not another whitewash and redbull run away with all the points

No "Dark horse" will come close to approaching the podium this year. IMHO...
This is the race we've been waiting for as it is a horsepower circuit with some turns to keep things real.
If I am correct, Ferrari and McLaren will show their legs here and Red Bull will be taking wing out of their car like the Devil.
If Renault's motor is down on power, it will show here big time.
My podium results guess would look like this; 1. Alonso 2. Massa or Hamliton 3rd Red Bull.
Again here even though it is a fast track, qualifying will be the key for the 1st three spots.

If Kimi was still in F1 even if in a Toro Rosso I'd vote for him. He's the Spa master. :D

But this time around, I go with the guy who beat the Spa master in 2008. Though he ended up not winning after taking the chequered flag in 1st place. :banghead:

the truth is... Judging from the superior and monstrous advantage Red Bull had in Hungary, and Spa being more or less the opposite. AND the notorious advantage of Ferrari in the straights at Hungary, and at the whole of Hockenheim....

If the cars remain reasonably unchanged, i think Ferrari should have the best package for Spa.

The title is DARK HORSE. To be honest I wouldnt call any of the top six cars dark horses, some more likely than others but not dark horses. So my very long shot dark horse is Petrov (because I like him and cos I want him to keep his seat next year). Ok there may be some more likely dark horses, like Nico or Hulkenberg, or Kobi even, but I'll stick with Petrov :D

Yeah i agree......
in such case, there will be no dark horse. Even Renault. They havent been the best in low downforce, fast circuits. And Force India, while a little bit above the other teams... i think Liuzzi simply crashes way too much.

So i think there will be no dark horse for a podium... if i must say one... maybe Sutil. but to beat the top 6 cars will take rain or some weird luck event......

I'd go with Sutil, he's been preforming well, and the Force India's been fast in speed traps this year. Also, I think their performace last year might count for something as well, since when your a team with their resources, its harder to fundamentally change the car characteristics.
