    Alonso's race strategy
    1. Pass Grosjean at the start, up to 4th
    2. Wait for McLaren to **** up Hamilton's pitstop, up to 3rd
    3. Tyre-eating Mercedes hits the cliff, up to 2nd
    4. The usual bad luck for Webber, Alonso wins!

    Sebs race stratergy:

    1: 1 stop and pray for lots of safety cars to keep the gap close.
    2: People up front have issues or take each other out.
    3: If all goes to plan Seb is hounding people at the end on the super softs and everybody else in front are on worn softs.
    4: Reveal finger.

    Suprising enough with all the drivers at the back likely crashing into each other, could work into Seb and Jensons hands later in the race.

    For me: 1st:Webber, 2nd Rosberg, 3rd Alonso

    Lewis DNF*
    Grojsean DNF*

    *While fighting for 3rd.

    Seb 7th, Kimi 6th, Massa 5th, Schumacher 4th

    Why was he even bothering to defend with no rear wing, surely he would never have kept all those places with no rear wing?

    Also are those 2 teams sponsored by Lotus and Marrusia?

    Forgive me for being a moron but what do F1 teams get out of sponsoring teams in lower series? Surely its only the F1 teams sponsors that gain, the F1 teams themselves aren't products that can be bought. Well not Marussia anyway.

    Hamilton has said he won't take any risks. I hope not anyway but I think he has learned alot since last year, this year he has been very clean when overtaking.

    Glad I placed a bet on either Lewis, Grojsean or Alonso DNFing first. They will be in close quarters with each other come the first corner ;) 1 of them is bound to make me richer internet wise

    Oh dont get me wrong, it wont be Hamilton's fault, it will be Grojsean when he wants that 3rd place sooner than later.

    But he will have Fernando to deal with to. This is why I hope Hamilton gets Rosberg in turn 1.

    Not sure, Nico (for his limited stats) when he starts at the front he is as lethal as they come. If he can nail Webber like at Turkey 11, dont be suprised if he gets the run on him into turn 1 and leads. His starts only really suck when he is stuck in places like Alonso's, 5th to 7th Nico likes to avoid contact.

    The guy in second almost always seems to end up going into the first corner 3rd.
