[22/06/2012 16:08:00] Me: I hads a dream the other night. I was watching a race, (which looked like Hungary) and i heard "Di Resta becomes the 8th winner of the season" which confuses me.

That's my prediction. I hope it doesnt happen but then again, the main contenders wouldnt have won.

Never here the ****ing end of it from Paul, even if he never won again.

"I beat Seb, Alonso, Schumacher, Lewis, Kimi and Jenson with a lesser car, just imagine what I could of done with their cars as I'm that good!"

He would also forget to mention that every other car crashed and he was the only person left!

To be fair though, i think Silver has more chance of pulling Angelina Jolie than Paul di Resta has a chance of winning tomorrow.

Ferrari perhaps, i wouldn't have expected them to be that far off the pace.

Doubt it, Alonso's speed trap was the same as Seb's and I dont think high top speed equates into a likely wet weather selection. It would be pretty much stepping into the unknown as nobody really tested the rain when it came yesterday.

OK, I think Silver has more chance of pulling Brad Pitt than Paul Di Resta has a chance of winning tomorrow. :p

Good shout, though I'm not gay I think having Brad Pitt around would get me a few groups of women!

I hadn't thought of that <laugh> Damn, i've been defeated. <wah>


Back on topic, how many stops are people predicting for tomorrow, i'm sure i heard on Sky that a 1 stop is a possible option (Sauber take note).

I expect the majority to stop twice. All depends on rain as well though.

I checked the forecasts earlier, no sign of rain. I just re-checked them, and now there are showers forecast from 13:30 to roughly 16:00 (Hungarian time) tomorrow, so the race should start dry, finish wet.

Monaco 2012 mate, Monaco 2012. Where were you then?
"Typical Schumacher hater there. He puts it on pole, and apparently always should have done, would have been a twat if he didn't etc etc."
Mercedes are crap, seen as though the Qualifying draw is only 6-5 you should zip it.

Yep, that was Monaco and I'll think you'll find I was around then.

This however is Hungary and he is 17th. Up until now it hadn't been discussed, but as you are keen to mention him.......... time for Schuery to reitr? 17th! pah, waste of a seat!

Where's Cosi when you need him, he always has some good words about Schumacher...
 
Dry:
1st: Hamilton
2nd: Vettel
3rd: Grosjean

Wet/Changeable:
1st: Alonso
2nd: Vettel
3rd: Raikkonen

On strategy, Gary Anderson says: "A two stop race is the fastest way to do it. Three stops not far behind, the problem is the more stops you do the more chance there is of getting caught in slow traffic. So I think we'll see a two stop and a three stop, and maybe even some of the guys in the midfield going for that one stop to try and stay out of the traffic."

Does anyone know how they calculate these? Do they assume that a two-stopper will lap as fast as a three stopper on fresh tyres and that the degradation will be the same? Because someone doing an extra stop is going to push the tyres that bit harder but at the same time suffer higher degradation. I'd like to see more people go for three stoppers but they're all so passive and react to the others stopping. It's almost as if the strategists are afraid to let the drivers push and don't trust them to overtake later on in the race, although I suspect the teams just use the same computer simulations to plan the quickest strategy. I think the sport would benefit if someone went hell for leather on a three stopper and won tomorrow, just to encourage the others to take more risks with strategy.

Remember I was the guy who predicted a Perez win in Malaysia! <magic> - It didnt happen but it was so close.

I'm known for these crazy predictions pulling off around people I know. ;)
But let's be honest, we all know it wont happen.

I'm known for not getting a single prediction right. In all the races last year, i got 1 single prediction correct.
