Spa is too difficult to predict, too many variables, too much attrition in the race.

My guess is McLaren will lose some of their new found form so Ferrari may pick up a few places there.

Just a guess but...
Might make Q3, Qualify around 8th
Finish Top 10, probably in the points, maybe if there's a lot of attrition in the top 5, but not on the podium.

The TAB already has a few Shumacher bets up, where he will finish etc, even though we are four weeks out, and they havent set any odds for any other type of betting for the valencia gp. :lol:

Michael Schumacher is paying $12 to win in Valencia. I don't think he can win with the car he got. But I think podium is feasible. Red Bulls/Lewis Hamilton for pole/win. In saying that though Button might do alright as if Valencia track gets hot and Brawns can get decent heat into their tyres.

My prediction Schumacher finishes 3rd/4th in Valencia.

he will only 3rd or 4th if theres some non finishers amongst the brawns, redbulls and others.
at this stage i rate the teams:
redbull
brawn
mclaren
ferrari

bearing in mind i havnt been able to watch the last 3 or so races!
gotta wonder how many races he will do this season, massa seems to be well on the way to mending. but then again we havnt heard anything about any brain injury.
