@junior-pilot – Ooo, I love these! Mind if we edit it to be predictions for the grid and the top ten in the race?

@bradley13 Sure, go for it! Want to predict the first accident/collision too?

I predict Maldonado and Ericsson will collide on Lap 2, putting Ericsson out.

P.S. I realise I went straight from 4th to 6th on my Top 10! In which case, 6-10 move up a place and Button takes 10th.
