so the first race of the year start in about 1 hour

Here is the starting gridd

so how do you think the race will develop?

my thoughts about the race

Ferrari will do 3 pitstops
JP Montoya will do 3 stops
R Schumacher in the other Williams car will do 2 sop
McLaren will do 2 stops stops

and on on the finnish line there will be:

1. M Schumacher
2. JP Montoya
3. R Barrichello
4. J Button
5. M Webber
6. K Räikkönen
7. D Coulthard
8. F Alonso

The Ferraris looked in a class of their own to be honest.

Good driving by Alonso, and a shame that Montoya didn't do better.

Go Ralf

Looks like another walk in the park for Michael Schumacher this season...

I really hope that some other team decides to step up to the plate and put out a car that can challenge Ferrari. Doesn't look like the ugly-ass nose of the new Williams is helping much.

BMW will push Williams in a huge way. They were rather disappointed with the teams performance last year at mid-season. McLaren doesn't seem to have it sorted out, yet. Possibly Renault will get the job done. For sure they have one impressive drive in Alonso.

Coincidently, its reported today that Ralf has signed to drive for Renault next year. That leaves Williams with two open seats. My guess if Button comes back and who knows in the second seat. Frank's somewhat cheap when it comes to paying for talent.

Spartak · 03-08-2004, 10:01 PM

I heard Scott Dixon (2003 IRL Champ) was keen on filling one of the Williams seats.

Craven Morehead · 03-08-2004, 10:47 PM

But is Williams keen on him?

Wasted one year already running on ovals. The percent of drivers in the IRL that incur major injuries is frightening. He needs to get out of the IRL if he seriously wants to do F1. He's good, but he isn't getting any better with his foot to the floor turning left constantly.

I was sorely disappointed by McLaren on sunday. I had such high hopes for Kimi, but his engineers are gonna have to get their act together for the car to match the talent... Renault did extremely ell, however. Very impressive! Can't wait for Sepang, where I think there will be a little more pressure on the boys in red.

Ralf Will Drive For Williams Next year, this is only a " shot in the air" (what do you americans call that (Fake shot?!) ) to make Frank Wiliams to sign the conctract faster with Ralf, and he is going to do that because he does not whant to have 2 new driver or 2 new rookies to the team when his factory has built there best williams car for severals years

and Button is having a contract on BAR for 2004 seasson and 2005 seasson
