JV, I am optomistic about Webber because I believe he is worth 1/2 a second a lap over race distance compared to any other driver in the same car, UNDER THE NEW REGS.. If the Williams is there or there abouts I rate his chances highly, by the end of a long season.

That is a BOLD statement. On average it means that he'll finish 30 seconds ahead of Heidfeld.
Heidfeld perhaps but Alonso, Montoya, Raikkonen and Villeneuve to name a few ??? you must be back on that Wild Turkey
Even Michael with team orders didn't do that last year

julian may be overly optimistic about Webber's chances but Villeneuve beating him
He can't get within 2 seconds of Massa

I did say in the same car, and yes I do think he will come 30 secs ahead of Nick on many occassions. He delights in thrashing team-mates. Villeneuve who? There was a very good driver by that name about 20 years ago. Oh do you mean that bloke who nearly didn't win the championship when it was handed to him on a plate. Poor Sir Frank nearly had a heart attack that year

BAR & Button looking good now. Got a bit worried about the engine problems but I guess they push them to their limits in testing.
Looks like Sato will struggle with the new regulations though!
Not much more to go

Well, at least BAR is on familiar ground. they are so used to engine failure that they must be comforted by the fact that nothing has changed.

Michael Schumacher isn't worried about the test times so I am not worried
He said Ferrari weren't fast in testing last year yet they won in Melbourne! He thinks McLaren and Renault will be strong

Oh so the Great Schuey is back playing mind games again. He'll need to worry about his car and tyres. It will not be easy for him this year and he'll suffer!
Good to see the Heretic here

He may even spit the dummy and retire at seasons end. Then Ferrari will try to get Webber.

No, ferrari will want the reigning world champ

Of course! I forgot that Sir Frank doesn't retain World Champions
If Scheuy spits the dummy though Alonso and/or Raikkonen will head to Ferrari.

So you agree Mark Webber will be world Champ
