Formula 1: Round 12—We Will Fight Them on the Streets of Valencia

Felipe Massa will have a point to prove after his engine blew three laps from glory in Hungary and Kimi, well… Kimi has got to get his driving gloves on and fast because the front runners will start to leave him behind if he doesn’t start to drive like the champion we know he can be.

BMW, I don’t know what they will be like, with development of the F1.08 being slowed down to concentrate on the 09 KERS version, they will still be fast but I don’t expect too much from them on race weekend.

On race day, how will the drivers finish?

1. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren-Mercedes)
2. Heikki Kovalainen (McLaren-Mercedes)
3. Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari)
4. Felipe Massa (Ferrari)
5. Fernando Alonso (Renault)
6. Nick Heidfeld (BMW-Sauber)

Not a very controversial pick from me this week, I just see McLaren being strong and Ferrari still in their slipstream but it won’t be for long. Wait until Belgium, and you can be sure the F2008 will be on fire and McLaren will have a fight on their hands.

Kimi loves his Spa days and will relish getting one over the old enemy on his favoured turf.
