    I'm surprised nobody has gone with Montreal for most entertaining race. Then again, with the tyre situation it may well come down to who can complete the most laps, the last man standing.

    I wasn't a member on here at the time of this thread, so i've just checked my 606 predictions, god, i was miles off. I had an Alonso championship win, and red bull breaking down in nearly every race.
