  • Silverstone 2008: The Grid

    Here’s what the grid for tomorrow’s British Grand Prix will look like. Currently there are no penalties that I know of so therefore no demotions as of yet. If anything does happen I will update the grid accordingly. It looks very interesting with Kovalainen on pole for the first time and Mark Webber hoping for some serious points. Hamilton and Raikkonen will no doubt duke it out and try to use their strategies to get ahead of the Red Bull, but unfortunately for Ferrari, Massa is way down in seventh.

    Sebastian Vettel looks good providing he can keep out of trouble at the start tomorrow and both Renault’s are in the top ten and looking reasonable. Toyota are lacking performance at Silverstone and the BMWs don’t look al that fast either. Although Nick Heidfeld does tend to race better than qualify, but Robert Kubica is way back in tenth after a problem in qualfying put him out of contention.
