Hammy
Rosberg
Vettel

Tiffosi will be disappointed is my guess.

Also predict Maxdonado will **** off Kimi.

Unless the Mercs get "Maxed" or Hamilton gets "Nicoed" I can't see anyone beating them. Brian Till is a breath of fresh air but I don't think he is scheduled to be in the booth tomorrow.

Brian Till is doing a creditable job but needs to work on his pronuciations. Still prefer Lee who has more knowledge and experience

That being said, its nice to have an American on the broadcast.

Tillman acts like a NECKCAR guy trying to play knowledge catch-up.

Nothing a bout Button's retirement.....err......he says he is not retiring just not driving. and 2 year payoff "consultant" roll at McLaren?

I voted for Hamilon. He's just faster and it's a speed track.

Let's hope Max can cool some things down. He has a lot of talent and bravery, and I want to see him become a champion.

Kinda surprised big head Varsha didn't come back. I guess Hobbs and Matchet really can't stand him.

But come on Till. It's Ver STAP en. Not Ver STOP en.

My wish is to have a repeat of Spain with Hamster and Rosberg taking each other out at turn one, handing the win to Vettel!!!

One of, if not the most boring GP I've ever seen. The first 500 yards to turn 1 was the race highlight.

Looking forward to watching ( in no particular order) Indy @ The Glen, the GP2 race and watching the broadcast of the CSCC race later this afternoon. I was there last week and the rain was most interesting.

Reading the MotoGP live ticker updates was 10x more exciting than watching the Monza snoozefest.

Top tip:

DVR the race that way you can fast forward the boring parts and commercials. Today's race 15-20 minutes

Neutered cars. Neutered track. Meh.

Now Indy Car at Watkins Glen today was a whole 'nother story. Great racing, epic track, and the cars even sound better.
