Unfortunately he, Bernie, and Moseley are turning F1 into a joke that the fans don't appreciate

The domination of the past few years got to their heads
Montozemolo was making fun of GPWC and said that in 2008 it will be an all Ferrari series
This year they will be humilated and come 2008 they'll accept equal treatment

Looks like its gonna be a wet weekend.....
Irfan, Michelin will no even come close to Bridgestone.N i dont even need to mention about Schumi in wets
If its dry,we still have a quest mark as to which tyre is the best.

Don't count on weather forecasts for Melbourne!
But if it is wet then I think Michelin will be disadvantaged.
Interesting with the new tyres rules, if they start on grooved then it rains and they switch to wets, when it dries again I assume they'll use the old dry tyres again!!
Watch the confusion!!

The rules on tyres allow 4 sets of dry tyres per weekend. 2 of those sets to be used on Friday (they will be of differing compounds). On Saturday morning the driver will chose the compound and one new set will be used for the remainder of the event.
From the 2005 Sporting Regulations:
74 -a .....
"Unless the use of wet or extreme-weather tyres is necessary one of the remaining unused sets of dry-weather tyres must be used for both of the qualifying sessions, all reconnaissance laps and the entire race. Unless a precautionary tyre change is necessary for clear and genuine safety reasons, only a punctured or damaged tyre may be changed during a race. No refuelling will be permitted whilst a car is in the pits for the purposes of changing a tyre."
As I understand it, the same dry tyre will be used regardless if they switch to wet tyres and back during the race or not.
