I KNOW, I KNOW, IT'S JUST THAT I GOT RANKED 466th for G.P. France and am now 383 OVERALL!! SO I FIGURED I COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE!

I don't think this competition works on a mathematical model other wise K-D would be leading

I KNOW IT DOESN'T, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT K-D USES A MATH MODEL

Besides you may need to revise the model slightly and add a "feel good/feel bad" factor. I reckon BAR will be finishing in the points a lot and the opposite can be said of Williams

YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT ABOUT BAR, BUT DON'T PUT ANY MONEY ON IT; THEY COULD END UP BEHIND SAUBER THIS YEAR!!

And who is this A.J. Foyt ?

A[nthony] J[oseph] Foyt is the first 4-time winner of the Indianapolis 500; he's a sort of combination of the best (and worst) qualities of Jack Brabbham and Jimmy Clark. He would do anything to win and wasn't above turning a wrench or two to make sure of it. He's also notorious for his "colorful" language and inability to suffer fools (translate that word into "motor sports journalists")

BUT YOU KNEW THAT, DIDN'T YOU?

Jim, you had best leave town for a while.
Black Jack and his sons will not like that comparison one little bit.
Nor will Jimmy's relatives, and that clan is one I would not like to be on the wrong side of.

Here are my picks for the Round of Britain:

Winner:Kimi Raikkonen(Alonso can't win em' all)
2nd:Fernando Alonso(see above reason)
3rd:Michael Schumacher(Ferrari can't be that bad this year)
4th:Juan Pablo Montoya(not everyone can be on the podium)
5th:Jenson Button(like it will keep him at BAR next year)
6th:Jarno Trulli(just like in the States'--Honda'll beat Toyota again)
7th:Rubens Barrichello(at least Ferrari'll match Renault for pts for once)
8th:David Coulthard(at least he can still compete for pts.)

And, for pole:Kimi Raikkonen(hey, Alonso can't be that fast at every GP)

You didn't expect to do well in France

K-D's model assumes one driver will always win (the one I don't pick)

I am willing to bet (lets see, which currency are we using these days ??), pesos, liras whatever that BAR will be ahead of Red Bull this year

Imola - Alonso overtook a failing Raikkonen (and Bambino driver tried)
Nuburgring - Alonso overtook a failing Raikkonen
Canada - Alonso overtook a failing Fisichella then Montoya overtook a crashed Alonso then Raikkonen overtook a black flagged Montoya

Ok, not many but that is much much better than 2004 when 11 of the first 12 races were won by one driver.

Oh c'mon JayVee,this is not overtaking...the leader failed to finish cos their car gave up!!!..Everyone here wants to see on track overtaking..
Alonso overtaking Kimi when kimi is going full blast,not nursing his car ..

Kapel · Post by **Kapel** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 6:48 pm

Remember Monza 2004,that kinda overtaking...but obviously u wouldnt have enjoyed it with Ferrari winning

Fully agree but my point is that this season is much much better than last year.

(I see you have dared to include Ferrari and Bambino driver in the title fight. You are drinking that stuff again

)

I do and I enjoyed it then cause Barrichello won but the lead changed then because of strategy and it is relatively easy to overtake in Monza.

Now I only logged on to put in my picks

Kapel · Post by **Kapel** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 7:03 pm

Yes JayVee,agreed that this season is exiciting cos everything is still undecided.
But i would still want on track overtaking,atleast the leader change in every race!!

(i wanted a 3-way-championship,so the addition

,cos i think anything can still happen

)except for Ferrari & Michael though
