And obviously... he'll be grabbing the lead early on.☕
edit: fingers crossed we don't get hit by rain.☕
Sean Bishop34 said:I'd also throw Felipe in for second place.☕
And man, I really hope this race isn't a total snooze fest.☕
🙂
Actually, let me add one more thing... my official prediction is...
There won't be a single overtake during the whole race.☕ Zero mechanical failures, zero crashes, and absolutely no DNFs. ☕ Every single driver is just going to finish in the exact same order they started. ☕
Since this upcoming holiday falls right on a weekend, we actually get a break! It means we can chill out and watch both free practice sessions in peace...
Come on, hang out here with me at 3 and 7 so I don't end up just talking to myself 😁 just so people don't start thinking I've totally lost my mind 😁

I'm blanking on it... 😁 go ahead and drop them again... 😂
Honestly, Lewis Hamilton only stands a chance at winning the championship if his only competition is Felipe Massa, assuming Massa and his entire crew manage to mess up about ten times throughout the season. Actually, even that might not cut it... he’d probably need Glock to completely blow it in the final race too. 🤣
Edward Howard2 said:Okay, let's not get ahead of ourselves by jumping straight to the US race... we can dive into that tomorrow after the checkered flag drops... 😁
But hey, if by some miracle tomorrow's podium looks like this:
1. Alonso 2. Vettel 3. Massa 4. Webber 5. Button 6. Hamilton
which isn't out of the question since Alonso will probably just bully little spoiled Vettel right at the starting lights...
the standings would actually look like this... 01 Lewis Hamilton 153 02 Jenson Button 143 03 Mark Webber 140 04 Sebastian Vettel 139 05 Fernando Alonso 123
He'll close the gap fast, and honestly, since Ferrari is looking way quicker lately (just look at Massa), we could see Alonso grabbing that top spot before we know it.😁
Just wanted to quote my own prediction from right after qualifying... yeah, it was realistic and expected... but hey...
