He actually came third last time. First podium finish since his comeback, wasn't it? Admittedly it's because everyone in front of him crashed, but hey.

The big question is...will Schumacher finish?

Schumacher will get to the final lap, realise he's still in the race and immediately run into a wall

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's like that time a few years back when all the cars with Goodyear (or was it Michelin) tires weren't allowed to drive. At the end, there were about 6 cars racing - Most boring race ever !

I hate a boring race. It's been a pretty good season so far though, hasn't it? I'm loving that Vettel isn't just absolutely destroying everyone. It all seems pretty up-for-grabs at the moment.

It's been a very good season so far, haven't seen as many races as I've wanted to though. But it's the summer so I've got more time to watch it (unless it's at the same time as the Tour de France )

Personally, I'd like to see Rosenberg or Grosjean do well

[Beardy]

Grosjean's doing pretty well, he's what seventh overall? I kind of support the British drivers as a default, but something about Hamilton rubs me up the wrong way, dunno why. So I kind of support him but don't. I enjoyed his tousles with Schumacher last season. And yeah, I have a soft spot for Schumacher.

I think a lot of people don't like Hamilton because he kind of came out of nowhere and won the championship as the new kid. It's always the same with people who rise up too fast unfortunately.

It's not so much that, it's more just his personality in interviews and stuff. He just bugs me. I'll still be happy if he wins though.

If he wins, I imagine you'll be grudgingly waving your Union Jack

[Beardy]

I was hoping Jenson Button would be doing better by this point, but he's having an insanely varied season. I'd happily eat a Union Jack if it meant Schumacher could get back on form.

British GP: 30,000 fans asked to avoid Silverstone

Hmmm, glad I'm not amongst the crowd

[Beardy]

Qualifying's not going too well, eh? Doesn't bode well for tomorrow.

Edit - Schumacher came in third, I'm pretty happy with that. Good show from Webber, too. Also, Alonso's a bit bloody good isn't he?

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH]

Alonso has been dead to me ever since he left Renault *grudge*
Tomorrow should be good, weather permitting

[Beardy]

Yeah. I wouldn't mind a bit of rain, make it more interesting, but not too much. I hope Schumacher can do something with his position that doesn't involve crashing.

[Beardy]

Maldonado is a MANIAC.
