I've seen many guessing competitions before but I'm not aware of this one. It may exist someplace else, if it does, please let me know.

What will be the order of the race after the first lap is completed?

After all, the start is the most action packed part of the race, and there's always a fair share of surprises. Why not give a try at it? That's my guess (five drivers per row to shorten the list a little bit):

Schumacher / Sato / Alonso / Barrichello / Button
Montoya / Trulli / Pizzonia / Raikonnen / Fisichella
Webber / Panis / Zonta / Coulthard / Heidfeld
Baumgartner / Massa / Bruni
Pantano, Klien - OUT

I've tried to make realistic guesses about the top 10 positions. I think that Alonso will jump between the two BARs, as Sato will try to pass Schumacher from the outer line. As for the backmarckers, I think that there will be at least one incident in the first corner, involving Coulthard, Klien and Pantano. Massa will start from the pits, but even so I think he may be quick enough to pass at least one Minardi during the first lap (considering that the cars that start from the grid have to slow down considerably to pass through the first two corners).
