yeh but do you know how much fuel he will have no.
i dont think kimi will be on pole but he will win if the renault isnt up to it and heidfeld has already written off his chances.
anyway will BAR be using these...personally they look ugly.

a ferrari 1-2 would be good, it might prevent the title becoming a 2-horse race between Kimi & Alonso.
admit it, it would be very exciting if MS, Kimi and FA all were fighting for the title at the end, then Kimi or Alonso winning.
RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael

I think it's not going to rain at all, maybe on the night, cause what i see, is a 30 to 40% of precipitation, and the temperature is going to be really high, for sunday is going to be 30°, the coldest day will be saturday with 24° so, i hope it keeps like that, at the end, the same happened on the last race: it was all rain a week before the race, and on wednesday, before the race weekend, the weather prediction changed.
For the race, i would give McLaren the whole weekend, Renault isn't as good as the McLaren, of course, there's potential, Alonso showed that with the fastest lap, but McLaren is still the fastest car on the track, the only things is hope Kimi wont damage his tyres and McLaren goes just a tinny little bit harder on the tyres.
last saturday, the guys who bring F1 on the radio to Colombia, called me, and did let me ask whatever i wanned, i asked him if Kimi's problem was due to the car, camber, setup, and he, Diego Mejia, quite an expert on the subject, told me it was nothing like that, it was just that Kimi flat-spotted his tyre, it was his blame, and the fact McLaren are using the softer tyres of the michelin teams helped. Juan Pablo had the same problem in nurbugring. But having the softest tyres, help them to have those great starts they're having lately.
Now, seeing that McLaren tested quite a long of things in silverstone, specially with Juan Pablo, makes me think he could be on a better position to challenge Kimi. Juan Pablo, on wednesday, tested on the McLaren tech center, on the simulator, and usually, most of the changes he makes there, work the same way on the real car, and they were really happy with the progress made on Juan Pablo's car. Kimi don't like the simulator, he says he gets dizzy on it.
Ah!! and to make polemic here, Juan Pablo told the journalist i told you before (Diego Mejia) after his comments "You know me for so long, and I will kick that blondie's ass"...jejeje...might sound funny, cause that's hard to happen, but i'm colombian and i'll support him at anytime :p

No, Pedro de la Rosa, said on an interview today, that the track is really dirty right now, but looks like it's going to have more grip than last year, though
a bit off-topic, but speaking od De La Rosa, while i was in spain watching the race on tv, when he was being interviewed, the caption said 'Pere Martinez De La Rosa'.
are there any other current drivers whose 'real' name has been changed to suit the worlds media? and no 'Michael Cheating dirty b*stard Schumacher' replies either

In the USA, I remember Montoya being called Juan Montoya. I don't think they liked that middle bit, "Pablo".
There was also "Alessandro" becoming "Alex", like Alex Zanardi and Alex Ribiero. But these are all guys who went to the States.
The most famous one is probably Ayrton Senna da Silva.

Due to the voting system in Germany, Governments are always made up of coalitions of different parties. At the last election, an almost unprecidented result saw the CDU/CSU (rough equivilant of the Conservatives) go into Government with the SPD (rough equivilant of Labour)

JPM & JV doesnt have a good relationship between them. it all began on Montreal (
) in 2001 because of a practice incident i dun remember well* . the recent episode was in monaco this year. this is outta team-orders context coz is a personal matter, sauber isnt a set-the-pace car this season so far & i also support the colombian coz i'm another one
its hard to happen coz saubers couldnt match mclarens level. but weird things could happen anywhere anytime
* i dunno if that rivalry began back in 98 when JPM was a williams test driver & JV was the #1 driver.
----------------------------
Just note USA doesn't like F1 (since 1981)
Hungarian GP, 1997. Last laps just when damon's problems had just begun:
(Louise Goodman has just reported that Damon Hill was on the radio with Tom Walkinshaw)
Murray: "How do they do that, Martin? How does a man talk calmly and especially to his team boss, when Damon in the situation he's in?"
Martin: "Well, you press a little button on the steering wheel and start talking, Murray. There's a little speaker in the front of your crash helmet..."

No, no. Juan and Jacques talked about it and they fixed the issues between them. We saw them talking just as friends in China last year, is just that Juan risk too much sometimes, but everything is fine....well, at least before Monaco
They were almost best friends when Juan was a Williams test driver.

cant you stay up till 11.40 to watch it then?
personally dont blame them seeing as quali will be around the saturday evening tv slot and most people [my whole family excluding my dad included] would rather watch something else, whatever the channel, than formula 1.
no doubt ITV would get more complains from messing up saturday evening tv than they did for last three laps at imola.
anyway at least the race is live

Yeah, there's only 3 times a year when the day would be "ruined"...
I can't get ITV2 or ITV3, but at least if they even showed it live on one of those channels, I wouldn't be so bothered (as long as the also showed the highlights later as they are going to anyway).... it just seems a waste. Instead, we get the joys of watching You've Been Framed, Doctor Dolittle on ITV1, House of Horrors and some Justin Timberlake rubbish on ITV2 and Robin of Sherwood on ITV3. None of these things are live and could easily make way for F1!
