about the 2005 F1 Championship Results...
did you read the article i recommend? (Schumi's Sekret Diary: Barcelona)
the apart for this thread:
"Hello my ever-patient tifosi chums. As you can expect me to say. This is not good. If I were to have met you in the street at Vufflens Le Chateau before the season started and you had asked me, “Well, Herr Schumacher, what will your points total be as you head to that all-important Monaco Grand Prix at the end of May?” I would perhaps not have guessed that it would be the same total as David Coulthard."

I very much doubt Toyota will shape at Monaco. It is slow and neither the power nor the aero will give them an advantage.
All the reds will be together

Power and Aero not needed. If it wasn't for the chassis Webber could be in with a chance!

Expect 2005 Championship table look a bit different by Magny Cours.
The Leaders lead shruk,Silver arrows & their 2 drivers eyeing the championship
Constructors table would see a significant change with the old foes coming back in force

Kappy, by then the only thing Monty will be eyeing is a "tennis comeback",and a drive in champ cars. Things are not good between Monty and Dennis, I feel.

If this a rumour,its sad.But i would still not write off Montoya yet!!!That guy with all the weight can definitely come back.N with Mclaren being super quick,he definite can help them in Constructors.
No one here has mentioned about Michaal or Ferrari having a chance???
Does everyone believes that the reliable cars in the 1st 5 races would get better & more reliable & the team whose bullet proof reliability is shaken would be shattered even more???

Kappy I have said all along that the ferraris would threaten, I am greatful it wasn't at the start of the season.

Ferrari will have a couple of extremely bad races-Magny Cours for one.
Monaco

I expect Rubens to comeback here!!With the nature of the circuit,it be a difficult climb for Michael,especially with his heavy fuel qualifying position....Hoping for a good race for Reds.
Championship is building up well .
