If I remember right, his result from last year in Canada actually landed him ahead of Marussia in the constructors' standings

There isn't much room before that first turn, which makes overtaking at the start pretty tough.
Since things look neck-and-neck, tire strategy might be the deciding factor.
My money is on the top three being split 45:30:25.

Fernando Alonso could pull it off if his pit crew stays as sharp as they've been lately.

I'm with you.
Lewis Hamilton might grab something early on—but I honestly doubt Mercedes has the tactical depth to nail the race strategy.
Gotta see how the start goes, though... hopefully there isn't a massive pileup (thank god Romain Grosjean isn't in the top five).
I was expecting more from Mercedes and way more from Lotus, but clearly, something is off.
Such a shame about Pastor Maldonado and that little visit he paid to the pit wall.

Michael Schumacher might actually pull off a win here
He’s got a fast car—plus he's clearly fired up after Monaco
I’m fully expecting him to grab pole or at least be right up there
Now, we just have to see if Lotus struggles with their tires again, or if Mercedes-Benz finally sorted out those issues of theirs
Lotus should be solid too, provided their rubber holds up

How bad do you have to be to get left 37 laps behind?

Does he have any connection to that Habulin dealership?

Who says you can't grab a killer PC for like $900?
For that kind of cash—I'd honestly build a rig that smokes a Mac any day of the week.

The seasons lately have been way more fun to watch—you could really tell back in 2008 that Sebastian Vettel actually knew how to drive.
Fernando Alonso knows his stuff too; honestly, he might’ve even had a better ranking this year if they didn't have DRS—he probably would've defended his position much better.
If you stuck Lewis Hamilton in something like a Mercedes, he wouldn't have finished a single race, or he'd be hanging out at the very back.
I agree that people have selective memory—Vettel was great in the Toro Rosso, and that win at Indianapolis was just the icing on the cake for everything he'd done up to that point.
In this era, there's zero chance anyone breaks through with a bad car unless it's some freakishly weird race.

Hamilton thinks he’s untouchable—like he can just do whatever he wants—and honestly, last time Massa was involved, I think he got the short end of the stick with that penalty.
What else was Massa supposed to do besides watch his mirrors and keep an eye on this "wildcard"? Even when I'm behind the wheel, I don't let some ego-driven personality dictate my driving; if someone slams into me, it's on them because they were the one trailing.
At the end of the day, how would Hamilton have even cleared that corner if he hadn't taken out Massa? He really should've hit the brakes—it just seems like, up until now, he's found it easier to just wreck his competition rather than actually racing them fairly.

swiftmaker12 said:Wondering where Johnson went? He’s been out sick for like 3 or 4 races now (🤷).
He hasn't even popped up on the forums lately—anyone heard anything about what's going on with him?😢

If he isn't actually sick—and man, I really hope he isn't—I've got a hunch he just got cut, though there's zero official word on it yet. Just my own take, totally unverified.

The world’s gonna end before Grandpa finally wakes up—honestly, his only shot at winning right now would be pulling an Indianapolis 2005 move, and even then, he's got Nico Rosberg breathing down his neck.

James Reed7 said:So, basically—like the title says—is there any way to get Windows to actually use all 4 GB of RAM instead of just 3.5? And does the memory even work in dual channel mode if it isn't using the full 4 GB?

It's DDR2, just in case that matters.

Windows 7 32-bit won't touch all 4 GB of RAM—it might see it, but it can't use it. If you want the full 4 GB, you gotta install a 64-bit OS. As for the dual channel stuff, that works regardless—as long as you've got a matched pair of sticks, obviously.
