Kimi has already said he has nothing to lose, Button is riding on a air of confidence.

Will Button keep the lead at the start or will Kimi make a do or die move as he has less to lose than Button.

Personally i think Kimi and Kers will frighten Button into not taking the gamble at the start, so Kimi is my choice.

I reckon it'll be Kimi unless his KERS isn't working.

Jenson would be mad to try and tussle with him. That'd be the worst - if Kimi took Jenson out - still, that might give Rubeo his win ;)

I'll go for Kimi. He's got KERS, and as has been pointed out, nothing to lose. Jenson is leading the WDC and has a slightly faster car, and probably a better strategy knowing Ferrari. So he's not going to lose any sleep if he's second into the first corner. Better than being first into the retirement list.

I think Button, he's on the inside and it's not a hugely long run down to the first corner. But if Kimi can keep up with him throughout the lap he should be able to use KERS to good effect down towards the chicane and try and get by.

Button, of course.

KERS no good until the car's doing at least 100KM/h

what's the bloody point?

I'm soooooo glad I was wrong :D

Didn't realise about the KERS speed limitation!

Brilliant start by Rubeo :D

I've just noticed we've had about 6 votes after the actual race, including one for Kimi. <doh>

Yes, but actually altering the events of a race after it's happened? Surely only the FIA have the authority for that.
