How did this get past the forum swear filter? ;)



Button's never been great at Valencia, so I cant see this the race that he turns his form around.

I'd say Grosjean's more likely to win than Kimi based on recent races, but who knows. The fact that we're back at the track Romain made his debut at could be a nice little circular storyline.

Most likely skipping watching from big screen and instead just listening the race on background while doing something creative..(N)

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?
Yeah I agree, for me is the most boring track on the calendar. I will still watch though ;)
according to paul hembrey we should put our money on schumacher for the win !!! i did that for the canadian gp... not gonna make this mistake again !

What if Button finishes 16th for the third race in a row (and Schumacher fails to finish / score for the fourth race in a row)?

But in all seriousness, that would be nice for Romain :-)

That's usually Barcelona, and we know how that turned out this year.



do you think a bet on schuey is worth it. Rosberg says the track should suit their car. also he has most points than anyone since china. also, the odds for schuey are 19:1 !!
You may as well stick a couple of quid/euros on it...

I might have to make a trip to Ladbrokes, see what they've got...

8th new winner .... think I'll go with the safety car for the win. I know it's an outside bet but I think all in all they have the most durable tyres.

Rosbergs car breaks this time just to make the 'Shoe' feel it's not all sabotage.

Oh Alonso is definately in the points somewhere and there's a gap between the two Mclarens. Kimmi is just doing what Michael did on his comeback so no point in speculating there, just got to wait for his multiple failures to start happening.
Grosjean takes someone out or maybe just himself and webber beats Vettel.

That's about as predictable as it gets.;)

I'd love Kimi to win, but this isn't a strong track for him and he's been off-form in recent races so I don't know how realistic that is.
We know Kobayashi is pretty handy around here after 2010, and for the first time he's in a car which could win. Perez has been awesome this season too.
Or Massa could do something spectacular under the right circumstances. He's won here before after all.
There's just a few possibilities for the 8th straight winner! What an awesome season.

What :p? He's proved to be a very good driver so far. Even if he has made a few mistakes :p. He will win a race this season!

I'm with Chet, I really think Grosjean could win a race this year, he's looked very good.

Really hoping for Schumi win. Not sure how likely that is though!

It's a shame it's so boring - on the games it's quite fun to drive.

I cannot beleive how much stick Kimi is getting right now.

Yes in quali its not been going that great, but hes only had 2 bad races the last 2. Yet for a good bit of the race he was ahead of Perez just a shame he could not stay there.

His bad races have not been all his fault either.

He had 2 really good races before that.
