Well Coulthard is doing his usual best for 2004...maybe winning one race as he did last year and standing on the podium a few times, but nothing really stellar.
I would probably expect McLaren to have a few podiums this year, but not to the extent of Kimi's run of podium places in '03.
In which case, who will fill in for Kimi, now that the MP4-19 seems to be a load of shite? Alonso or Button?? I'll put my money on Jenson Button finishing on the podium a few more times after the dynamic duo of Schumacher and Barrichello, and with any luck, he might just finish 3rd at the end of the 2004 WC.
I'm pretty sure that there just wasn't enough development of the MP4-19 at the end of 2003/start of 2004, but BAR has filled that gap. I'd love to see Sato and Button finish in the point every race.
The only thing that helps me maintain my slender grip on reality is the friendship I share with my collection of singing potatoes.
