Blundell's view: European Grand Prix.

Tuesday, 17th July 2007

Mark Blundell previews the action at the Nurburgring - and predicts that Ferrari will again take the victors laurels, although this time it will be Felipe Massa on the top step of the podium, not Kimi Raikkonen.

In short then, the way to go forward would be to put someone in the car that has a depth of experience - something that you can draw from.

We will have to see what decision making process they go through to bring in their driver of choice. Christian Klien and Narain Karthikeyan have both been mentioned. If it was me I would go with Klien – if that was the two choices available - because he has got a lot more experience available to him.

So to my prediction for the event and as you have probably guessed I am edging towards Ferrari - and while Kimi will probably take the pole, I am going to go for Massa for the win with the ‘iceman’ having to settle for the runners-up spot ahead of Hamilton. After that I’ll pluck for Alonso, Kovalainen and Kubica.

STOP PRESS - STOP PRESS.

I have been asked a lot about the spy row in recent weeks - and days, and it is clear it is getting more and more complicated as each day goes by.

The complexities of it are a little bit bewildering because it seems as if there are more and more people involved - and more and more things keep coming out of the woodwork.

We are going to get down to fine line detailing when it comes to the sequence of events, dates, the people involved and that is going to take a period of time to establish.

It is a bit like a movie. We are watching it unfold and every scene seems to be getting a bit more interesting - and a bit more intense.

I hope it is all resolved soon, preferably at the World Motor Sport Council meeting following this weekend’s European GP. Fingers crossed it doesn’t have any bearing on the battle for the championships – I want that to be decided on the track.
