I hope we win this one

French GP...
It would be interesting to see how the tyres play out in this race coz looking at the practice times, it looks awefully close. Ferrari looked bad in the first practice on Friday but did an amazong job in the second. Mclaren surely looks super fast rite now followed by Renault and Ferrari. But if the bridgestones are consistent over the race then the small deficit in the current performance should not be much of a worry. The qualifying slots should also help ferrari slightly in staying up on the grid on sunday.
This being the French GP, Renault might be tempted to go for glory on Saturday in qualifying. They might try to qualify up front with lighter fuel loads. That should be good news for Monty and hopefully Ferrari.
Kimi's bad luck has come back to haunt him. Its actually not his bad luck but Mclaren's scheduled goof up. I was expecting it in the previous race itself. But it has moved Monty up the order.
I dont know y i feel so optimistic this time but I am gonna bet on Schumi winning this one. I guess its the fan in me writing this. The fact is that the american races have not given a suitable measure of the improvements the teams have made relative to each other.
My prediction for the grid on sunday is : Monty, Alonso, Schumi, Fisi, Barri
