Torro Rosso, I can't see making a song and dance too much. Vettel is a quick guy, but I'm imagining you have to have a front end qualifying result here just like Monte Carlo, which their car just isn't capable of right now. Bourdais is having a bit of a hard time right now too.

I'm hoping Honda can start making headway towards a better car, but I don't feel they will be shining too much just yet. They have two more than capable drivers in Barrichello and Button; they just dont have the goods needed.

Williams seem to be taking backward steps, too, which is unusual as they usually have a decent run. Rosberg has had some miserable results of late, Nakajima is handling himself a bit better than his German teammate. I think Kazuki is doing quite a decent job with limited resources.

And I expect the Force India's to be at the back end of the field too , I feel sorry for Sutil , he is much better than his car is permitting , So is Fisichella , but he has had his day to shine in the past at Renault .

 

Valencia Street Circuit:

5.440 Kilometres or 3.380 Miles in Distance,

The surface is smooth Asphalt,

25 corners, 11 right handers and 14 left handers.

Top speed for an F1 car estimated at 323 KMH or 201 MPH.

A good lap will be around 1 minute, 37 seconds.

 

My Top 8 Prediction :

1. L Hamilton, Mclaren.

2. K Raikkonen, Ferrari.

3. N Heidfeld, BMW Sauber.

4. H Kovalainen, McLaren.

5 . F Massa, Ferrari.

6. R Kubica, BMW Sauber.

7. F Alonso, Renault.

8 . M Webber, Red Bull.

I think we are in for a fantastic Grand Prix weekend, and it's going to be Lewis Or Kimi who take the spoils for me.

I hope all you bleachers enjoy the race, and as Martin Brundle says, "Formula 1 is back," well almost anyway.

Anyone think my predictions are off the mark? Or are they sound?

Is this the week Kimi gets the upper hand in the title chase? Or will Lewis hammer home his advantage?

Comment and Rate as usual.
