I believe we will and as the majority suggest I would like to see Heikki win tomorrow but I also want to see Nico and Nick win this year.

If it is suppose to be raining then, its a lottery. MW did well at the two rain race last year (Europe and Japan) so it could well be him.

Although saying that, his engine will fail on the last lap... :banghead:

I would say "Moja nočna mora" (nightmare) will win the race. For those who don't know that is Lewis Hamilton. But I pray and hope he stuffs up and not only does not win, but also gets ZERO points and Ferrari once again get 1st and 2nd. A repeat of Magny Cours would be a great desire.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's not got much more fuel than Heikki, despite the time difference. Heikki has, on several occasions, out-qualified Lewis (or at least matched his time almost perfectly) on four or so laps of extra fuel. Add Lewis' battle with Raikkonen into the equation and it makes both of their afternoons a little more difficult, and something tells me that a light Webber would not be the easiest man to pass, even if it is a McLaren or Ferrari against a Red Bull. There's just something about the way Webber has been driving recently that makes me think he will spoil a few peoples' afternoons.

I remember in Fuji last year, before he was taken out and before the safety car came out, he was lapping at a rate that would have allowed him to harrass Hamilton once the safety car came in. I don't think he would have made a pass, but he certainly would have pressured him a little. Of course, having a Toro Rosso shoved up the arse-end of your car kind of prevents that from happening...

If Kovalainen can't win this year in that car, then he should seriously consider his future as an f1 driver!

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

I think if we had a dry race today Heiki would have done a lot better, Lewis had a good drive.
I was absoloutly gutted for Mark Webber and DC.

Heikki has a highest chance of winning I think, and maybe it will even happen at Silverstone. Imagine the uproar if Lewis' teammate would steal the win

Heikki needs to win this year, or comparisons to Heinz-Harald Frentzen will be made. Promising in lower teams but HHF just didn't perform sufficiently when in he was in the best car. McLaren isn't the best car this year, but it's a proven race winner. And HK has just as much experience as LH.
