F-1, back to the west

It doesn't feel like it should be time for Brazil yet, but its here.

Um, lemme guess-Raikkonen?

It was?  You mean for next year?

It appears that Kimi is not on pole at the moment.  I dunno what happened, I slept through it;

Kimi had a biiiig lockup into the Senna S. its amazing his tyre wasn't shredded. And it was moved forward a month from last year because of the weather problems.

Nice season by Alonso. and Not Raikonnen ;D Just the constructors now, hopefully Renault will secure that. Not a big fan of either but i like Flavio more than Ron Dennis.

But Ron Dennis has two consitantly good drivers who consitantly do well.  Flavio has 2 good drivers, one who is good, the other who has horrible luck.

I am going to stand behind McClaren for the title.  Want to make a wager of something on it?

I dunno, I have very little money (college).

I have an idea.  How about a points system?

McClaren wins- I get 10 points
Renault-  You get 10 points

Points can be redeemed for pride and prestige.

Yes, good idea.

Unfortunately I am not good with first of the year predictions

who could have honestly predicted this season would have gone as it did? And with next year being completely level to start with, who knows, red bull minardi could be winning races. :o ;D

Perhaps but they will be having Ferrari customer engines, and with the money of red bull behind it for the wind tunnels and design team. Its gonna be a tough year for Midland/jordan to stay off the back thats for sure.
