I did this for the previous 4 races and got 2 out of the 4 race winners correct and almost got 3 if it hadn't been for Massa losing out to Alonso in the rain. Lets see how I fare this time.


TURKEY: Ferrari will have the advantage on this track but mclaren have been doing alot of work on their car and I expect them to be competitive as well. However Ferrari are going to be hard to beat on race pace here. Turkey is very much a driver's circuit, its very challenging and physically demanding on the neck. I expect Raikkonen to be ahead of Massa, the macca drivers will be very even. My bet is one of the mclarens will be on pole but on pace Raikkonen will have them in the race. It think a mclaren driver will get 2nd place with probably Massa in 3rd making it a Ferrari 1-3

1. Raikkonen 2. Alonso 3. Massa

ITALY: Again this will be another great track for Ferrari and they will be desperate to win in front of their home crowd, also Monza has been a brilliant hunting ground for Ferrari. The fast Italian track will really suit the car. Again I still expect Mclaren to be competitive but like in Turkey Ferrari will be mighty hard to beat on race pace. I think Ferrari will get pole and will get the win here. However this time I am going to back Massa to get the win, I just get the feeling this is another race where it may go wrong for Raikkonen and then fall back in the standings once again. The other thing about this race weekend is that I expect BMW to be extremely competitive and they will be challenging mclaren for the podium. BMW won't have the pace to challenge Ferrari for the win as with their long wheelbase and the fast nature of Monza they will be just too good.

1. Massa 2. Heidfeld 3.Hamilton

BELGIUM- Yet again this is another track that suits the Ferrari car however mclaren have always gone extremely well around the great Spa circuit. Also this is a driver's circuit, maybe the track where the driver has the biggest influence, so even if your car is a bit under-paced if you have the ability you can still challenge for the win. We have seen some shocks in both quali and the race in the past around here. It think this race weekend will be very close and entertaining in equal measure. For this race I think Mclaren will get back to winning ways. Hard to pick which mclaren driver will get the win but I can see Alonso producing something here, all great champions have had some great moments here and I can see Alonso producing his this time arouund. However Raikkonen and Hamilton will be in very close pursuit which will be great to watch. BMW should be very fast here as well and their drivers will be in the hunt too but like in Italy just not enough pace to challenge for victory.

1. Alonso 2. Raikkonen 3. Kubica

Good point!

I think McLaren will have the upper hand at both Turkey and Belgium, but that Ferrari will pull out all the stops to make sure they are the dominant team at Monza. It will probably be as close if not closer than it is at the minute for the final 3 flyaway races
