2011 Predictions

Not quite like that.But will reveal how investment banking actually can be used by to buy parts of a company in this case Genii's name anonymously by them providing the capital,borowed by you and then using that money to buy shares of a company.You are reponsible for the money which they secure by holding the company shares in their name.
Its not as simple as that as you have to have your own collateral to secure the intial advance.But it can be done that way.
The answer lies somewhere with Gerard Lopez, Genii Capital, and Mangrove investments.
All of which are Luxemburg registered companies.
The simple question to ask yourself is why would an investment banking group buy an F1 racing team.
That is not any investment bank's idea of a sound investment.The returns on capital for the risk involved are nowhere near good enough to make it a sound investment without collateral.
CVC bougth the comercial rights from FOM for F1.We all know the huge profits generated by F1, That makes it a good investment.Genii capital are in exactly the same business as CVC.
It also extremely unusual for non shareholder to be appointed as an executive director of company.Non executive is uncommon not uknown.Dany Bahar has been appointed as an executive director of Lotus Renault GP.

WDC - Hamilton
WCC - Red Bull
Massa leaves Ferrari but does not retire at the end of the season.
There will be five driver changes over the course of the year.
Kubica wins (at least) a race.
Rosberg gets repeated podiums but still doesn't get that win.
1Malaysia Lotus gets at least one point.
Schumacher gets a one race ban.
Coulthard misses at least one race commentary.
The season will swap between being considered 'brilliant' and a 'borefest' at least three times.
There's a life threatening accident. (I really hope not.)
HRT finishes the season last, but finishes. Nobody is quite sure how.

Thought I'd get that one out of the way for you
I'm going to ask Brogan if we can make posting that picture a banable offence!
I think the Geneva Convention covers it...
If FB can get away with the wunderkind's finger, I can get away with that, lets say it got it out of the way before the season starts

Thats like saying you don't like the left wing and comparing Tony Blair to Lenin.
Was going to quote Speshal's post and say "Once bitten a hundred time shy", but forgot that the spoiler goes to code in the post, my eyes are burning

I feel sick, surely this is breaking rule 7 of the forum rules as I would want my worst enemy to see that...Thought I'd get that one out of the way for you
I suggest a new rule:
11. No pictures of Flavio Briatore in a state of undress will be allowed. If posting such a picture your account may be terminated and the Samaritans called to your place of residence as determined by your IP.

Time for some of my predictions.
- I will jump up out of my seat 20 times as the red lights are going out
- I will get annoyed with HRT swapping drivers and causing me extra work with the site content
- I will moan about "yet another safety car ruining the race"
- I will wish that the hundreds of people signing up to view the overtaking data will at least make an effort to get involved with the site instead of just leeching the data to post on the forums they are already members of
- I will disagree with at least one stewarding decision and explain to the wife in detail over the next few weeks numerous times why they were wrong, sorry love

I'm a McLaren supporter, but I've lost heart based on the testing saga. I cannot imaging McLaren faring well at the start of the season, and without testing, I don't see them catching up.
Given their lack of competence in making the most within the cost restrictions, this is going to be tough. I think back in the days of unlimited testing, they would have a much better shot at the title.

Vettel will be WDC.
Ferrari will be WCC.
Renault will finish 3rd in the WCC.
Kobayashi will get one podium.
Maldonado will do better than Hulkenberg did.
Paul di Resta will have numerous first-lap crashes.
Spa WON'T be wet.
We'll all bitch about ARW and they'll be modified/removed halfway through the season.
Pirelli tyres will supply more overtaking.
David Coulthard will mention Red Bull an inordinate amount of times during his first commentary.
