I won’t be blogging over the next couple of weeks, in fact I’m planning not to go near any computers at all.
So as I won’t be able to give a post-race report on the Turkish Grand Prix, I’ll do some pre-race predictions instead.
I think Ferrari will be dominant this weekend. The circuit suits their cars and I’m sure they haven’t been idle for the past three weeks. Maclaren will give them a run for their money but I don’t think they’ll have the pace to get the win.
Alonso and Hamilton had “peace talks” yesterday and seem to have kissed and made up. I don’t expect them to be holding hands all weekend but hopefully the dirty tricks are behind them.
Silly season has arrived so I’m expecting lots of rumours this weekend. BMW have already confirmed their line-up for next year and I don’t expect Ferrari or Maclaren to change drivers, unless Alonso decides to bail. The biggest uncertainty is Renault, where neither driver has been particularly inspiring this season. I’m expecting at least one of them to be replaced, possibly both. Toyota is the other team I expect changes from. Yarno is already confirmed for 2008 but I’m guessing Ralf will be gone. I’ve also heard rumours of Sato possibly going to one of the Toyota teams.
I’m looking forward to a good race, I just hope I get time to watch it before we leave…
Tangential Update: Jacques Villeneuve has announced he’s going to Nascar. I hope they’re paying him plenty to make him stoop that low.
