I am crap at predictions Steve, always go with my heart and not my head. Anyway, since you ask ... Kimi has to be a favourite, he is so good at Silverstone, but the Ferrari was not as good as the Macca during the tests (that could change of course over the next few days) - if it rains though then I would say Lewis could do it, but the Spaniard could be a threat if the rain comes and negates the speed advantage the two main teams have.

So, wet race no disasters Lewis
Dry race no disasters Kimi
Wet race and all sorts of offs Alonso

then again ....

ah fock I don't know

what about you Steve / Dembo, who do you think?

Im in for Lewis in the wet or dry, i think he has the car this year, or is that just wishfull thinking but i really see alonso as a thorn in the side if its raining, i also see the ferrari's sand bagging so far, so i would say Lewis, Raik, Alon, trul in the wet, Lewis , both ferrari's, kubica in the dry, thats my Prediction... so it will be the other way round and lewis will crash out and alonso will win with webber second

Reporter: "Do you think you had winning equipment last year?"

Lewis: "No."

Didn't he win 4 GPs last year? Wonder how appreciated the team feel after those comments ...
He was talking about his bollocks.

Weather this weekend looks very dodgy which should keep things interesting.

Yes I think Hamilton will probably win wet or dry. Unless Ferrari really have been sand bagging to the extent that they can easily dominate and get a 1-2.

McLarens look to be fastest. Alonso's just broken down.

Edit: Followed by Massa having a big crash on Alonso's oil...

Can we keep this thread for the current British GP, please?

There's a thread about the Donny F1 issue below.

(If I can be arsed when I've got 5 mins later, I'll shift the bits of this thread that are relevant across to the other one)
