Ten things which are least likely to happen at British Grand Prix
Argentine Football Coach Maradona has said that he will march in the streets of Argentina without his clothes if Argentina wins the FIFA World Cup 2010. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi has said that Argentina will beat Germany to avenge England’s defeat. It is expected that Maradona will march naked on Silverstone during the race in anticipation of his side’s victory later that evening. After all, anything anyone does, Maradona does it better. So if anyone wants to improve the incident at the 2003 British GP when a man marched right onto the track in the middle of the race, Maradona's the man.
Hamilton and Button are both overly eager to win their home grand prix and want to beat each other. While Button will race at Goodwood in a few days in Hamilton’s title winning MP4-23, he is expected to start the British GP with the same car if it performs well at the Goodwood festival.
Alonso’s heated statements following the European GP made him apologize instead of getting FIA to take action against Hamilton where revenge will be on top of his agenda. Massa is expected to deliberately crash his car during the race and once the safety car is on the lap, Alonso will overtake it to take undue advantage from the situation. He is anticipating that the stewards will take a good seven to eight laps to analyse Massa’s crash before they penalize Alonso, during which he will be able to nullify the effect of the race and take revenge for what happened in Valencia.
Vettel is extremely upset with his collision with Webber and a subsequent retirement in Turkey as his teammate managed to win the third place nevertheless. He is planning another overtaking move on Webber in Silverstone which will force the Australian into retirement forever.
Button has said in a statement that he would try to win at the British GP and his victory would bring the English fans something to cheer about after England’s exit from the FIFA World Cup. FIA fully empathizes with Button and is expected to turn a blind eye to anything illegal that Button intends to pull in Silverstone. After all, if the Uruguayan referee Jorge Larrionda can get away with a disallowed Lampard goal, why can’t FIA and Formula 1 stewards get away from Alonso’s rant.
FOTA has decided to upgrade the Formula 1 cars engines and to cut carbon emissions by 15 percent. All the emissions cut in Silverstone are expected to be sold to manufacturing firms around the globe as a license to pollute.
Following the footsteps of Wimbledon, Silverstone is expected to ban vuvuzela’s at the race as this could cause serious lapse in concentration of the drivers due to excessive noise.
Laid off workers from various UK firms have offered their services to Lewis Hamilton and once Hamilton runs out of fuel after crossing the finish line, they will push his car to the pit lane instead of Hamilton doing it himself.
Sir Jackie Stewart has said that the world championship is too close to call despite Red Bull’s huge advantage in qualifying. Perhaps he is aware of Vettel’s plan to crash into his teammate during the race. Hence the championship is dubbed as close because any advantage Red Bull is expected to gain over its rivals in qualifying will be nullified by on track incidents.
Vettel is not the only one planning to revenge against Webber as Heikki Kovalainen has plans to make the Australian driver realize what it feels like when one is hit from behind. Kovalainen also wants to perform a bigger and better somersault than Webber did in Valencia.
The outcome of the British Grand Prix is not difficult to predict at all. Recently, Germany has undone England in whatever sports the two have met. Vettel beat Hamilton to the chequered flag in the European GP in Valencia on the same day when Germany knocked England out of the FIFA World Cup and Andy Murray has been hoping for the elimination of all German players from Wimbledon. The trend is expected to continue into the British GP and this leaves us with six potential race winners - all of them German - no prizes for guessing that. Out of these winners, Rosberg is the most likely to win because Schumacher, Glock, Hulkenberg and Sutil have always trailed him during the season. As for Vettel, he is not a contender to win this race because he has revenge on his mind!
