Hoping Schumi will shine in his home GP!
And, as usual, despite being a huge fan, I'm expecting Button to do horribly. |

I've got pretty much the same thoughts as you, really! like the idea.
Can't WAIT to be in Germany next year! Going to SO MANY races. And as long as the Ring is still around I'll have some good times there as well.

Mid way point, and the top 3 on the WDC table seem to be the main contenders (FA, MW and SV). I'd expect this picture to potentially change (contenders to stay the same but with a chance of it being in a different order) over the course of the next 2-4 races. Given the European races continue with Hockenheim, Hungaroring, Spa and Monza the leading teams of Ferrari and RB will be fighting for the podiums (unless MacLaren come up with some new design innovations very quickly).
I'm still expecting Lotus (Kimi and/or Grojean) to take at least 1 win before the season is out.

I think Button has had a very poor season. I don't see Hamilton struggling with the car as much as Button has. This weekend I put my money on Alonso or Hamilton (I'm a Button fan so it makes it hard for me to say those two

Weather report is just partly cloudy with a slight chance of Maldonado crashing.
Go Schumi.

I wish to see Kimi wins. Not yet, one more race this weekend. We're stuck with SkySportsF1.

I'd love to see Schumacher get another podium, what a run of bad luck he's had this season. A little disappointed that Hamilton has fallen behind--I hope Maclaren gets their act together soon. (Although if I hear Button complaining about traction one more time... ) And Maldonado...sigh. |

Seeing how Red Bull seem to have finally sorted out their exhaust, I expect them to be real strong for the rest of the season.

To point out, Maldonado hasn't scored a single point since his win a Catalunya.

So close to Hockenheim and once again I can't be there
Hoping for Alonso to continue the charge and Massa to finally get a podium sooner than later, but would honestly like to see Webber win his first championship. on Maldo-crasho, motorsport.com has an article with video where they show him under red flag causing an accident back in his GP2(I think) days and also in Hockenheim against Grosjean. He needs to get a zapper placed in his car and when he gets close to causing an accident............

^yep Maldonado and Grojean coming together was a very common sight in GP2.
I still can't fathom how he managed to win a GP2 Drivers Championship. |
