The thread for France guesses is opened.

Ferrari goes on being the best in race days, but BAR is very similar in raw pace. Sato is being exciting to watch and if Button is not careful, Takuma could shadow his season. Williams are quick as well, but they were out of luck lately. Probably it's wise not to be too carried by the lack of recent results from them because the pace is there (after all RS was pretty quick in Canada, I don't think their brake ducts were so determinat in race pace).

Renault are the fourth team to bid for podiums. IMO they are in the same position as last year, but maybe Renault can bring out something a bit special in its homeland. Alonso has had bad luck (and a bad strat at the beginning of the season), probably at least two podiums were for him.

Of the rest nothing special to comment, regarding podiums. Just, perhaps, the eternal hope for a McLaren occasional flare helped by the talent of Kimi.

WARNING: The above text is just to deceive people's guesses. I have to improve my posotion in the table.

Rules are in:

Format norms:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Officially supported" format for guesses are:
(Please don't put your nick in the guess line)

1) XX XX XX

or

2) XX - XX - XX

or

3) XX / XX / XX

Where "XX" are driver's names. Those driver´s names, can be (in order of preference) :

Preferently a) (native format of this game) Two or three letters initial: MS, KR. FA, JPM,...

or

b) (popular format as in guess the grid and guess the result )First four letters of surname (except Schu brothers, msch and rsch) : raik, mont, alon,...

or

c) complete surname (and first name's initial in case of Schues) : raikkonen, mschumacher, montoya, alonso,...

However, it doesn't mean other formated entries are not admitted, I'll do my best to enter every guess in the game, it just take me more time

Guesses examples: (it is not required to put your nick in the guess, in fact *don't put your nick * )

Panzani, that guess is a BARbarity! ;)

It's just a joke, considering as condition a non-Ferrari guess, IMHO that is the most reasonable bet, BAR and Williams seems to be the best after Ferrari.

TS ahead of JB... I would like it, Sato is entertaining and certainly fast. Button looks to be more "mature" (in racing terms, actually :) ) but in terms of raw speed I'm not sure about he has the upper hans right now.

Great grid! The first 11 just in one second.

Alonso is very strong and fierce in race and Renault "launch control" ;) is the best of the field, so I think he can put a good opposition to the "master". anyway I'm going to go with the crowd ;) and I'll vote for MS.

It's interesting the possibilities for DC, he likes this particular circuit. But, I'm not currently prepared to guess DC/Mac above JB/BAR.

My guess:
MS - FA - JB

MAX: MS - RB - JB
BERNIE: FA - MS - DC
