    Grosjean for the sole reason Raikkonen is favourite.

    Not a bad prediction. Grosjean will qualify highr than Kimi, the test will be if he can stay ahead?

    Ive gone for Hamilton (as usual) but im not worried as I think Mclaren have the best car again and Hamilton always does well here.

    lol past the halfway stage and the leader has less points than half the number of remaining races.

    Sign of a good season.

    I will try and score my first point of the year (along with Caterham) by going for Raikkonen the so called king of Spa.

    I believe you get 1 rep power for every 1000 posts and 1 rep power for each bar of rep you have. If you have negative rep you have no rep power

    Yeah I've gone for Webbsley as well going on the basis of if his car didn't hit anti-stall he would have won the last two years.

    Historically the Red Bull has been the better car here but after the rule changes and hungary performance im not so sure on them being the best this time

    In the Lotus, I believe Räikkönen will be the driver to watch, since the 'King of Spa' title has some basis. However, if the McLaren is equal or close to Lotus, I believe Hamilton will out-perform him, if he can hang on to its tyres, so he gets my vote. That said, the long gap we are currently enduring makes it unusually difficult to predict car performance; but I do agree with the consensus that the Mercedes engined cars seem inherently more tyre hungry than the Renaults and Ferrari.

    Both Red Bull drivers will probably have a good shot too.

    1 Hamilton
    2 Räikkönen/Alonso
    3 Webber/Alonso
    4 Vettel/Alonso
    5 Grosjean/Button
    /Alonso

    Edit: I cannot believe I left out Alonso when I made this comment first time around! Somehow, I don't see him taking the victory but I hope that adding him across four positions compensates (and is acceptable to the forum!).
    ;)

    I'm not sure about this race it's a tough one to call so I went for Lewis. Hoping Mclaren bring some upgrades to.
