Masters Poll: Who will win?

[Daisy]

The masters are coming! Next sunday is the hottest F3 race of the year again on Zandvoort. The startlist is impressive, their are some very good names on it. Who do you think will win this year? My vote goes to Ryan Briscoe!

[Alx]

I voted 'Other' - not because I have an 'other' in mind... but because I have a feeling someone less obvious might win it...

Or maybe that's just wishful thinking...!!!

[The Zuschauer]

Briscoe. No questions asked.

The only chance of someone else winning is if Briscoe is taken out (possibly due to revenge from the French drivers)

[RichyOnline]

Joao Paulo is going to win !!

[alonso11]

According to the pre-season's edification: Kubica -despite being a total rookie- fully matches with Briscoe's pace and is able to beat Briscoe anytime.In fact this young Polish man -due to an injury-
took part in only 4 races so far,still scored 21 points while Briscoe scored only 11,started 3 races from one of the two front rows while Briscoe started only 1.

I vote 'Other driver' AKA Robert Kubica <Prema> and I will root for Piquet Jr too.

my bet is premat, he can be very fast but is also somehow a crashdriver

Very interesting results. The Masters a great opportunity to see drivers from different championships coping with the same difficulties (essentially, most teams and drivers are not familiar with the circuit).

Nelsinho and Briscoe confirmed that they are hot stuff. It was also interesting to see what happened to the British F3 contenders when the 'Carlin factor' was more ore less neutralised. Adam Carrol proved to be a real talent - just give him better equipment.

Disappointments: Nico and AVDM. Antonucci and Jamie Green were as fast as Alan after two long qualifying sessions, and I wonder how much of his dominance over his teammates (especially Jamie) is not due to his experience.

Nico Rosberg also failed to impress. He has never been in the top 10. Do you know if he had some problem?

As for the race, Ryan has a great opportunity to be leading the race after the first corner, because Nelsinho's starts are bad most of the time.

That are the time result, but the fastests of each group will start on the front row, so row one is Piquet vs Klien and row 2 = Briscoe vs Lapierre

[flexible-flyer]

adam carroll once again proves why he is gbs best young hope!
