mmm..... reasonable actually!!

Given Williams going out on low fuel

Perhaps your signature will change soon

Purely as a matter of interest, I believe Williams also have the smallest fuel tanks of all the teams. Does that indicate they have the best economy?

Is this belief based on any fact?

The info came from ATL, who make the tanks for a number of the teams

julian mayo wrote:Perhaps ED could wash down another No-Doze and clarify it for us

The size of the fuel tank is kept very secret by the teams. Not many people know the actual size of the tank. I think most if not all of what you read is speculation.
ATL would not release that info

I am still waiting for a split and merge mod then all non-relevant talk will be moved to The Lounge

Non relevant?? Us???

When the kerfuffle was happening about BAR I read somewhere ? amongst other things a statement by ATL that the Bar tank was the same as supplied to other teams,except Williams, which was smaller

Are u seriously going to include him in your 8.? How many others are going to crash/retire for that to happen?

Yes take unwanted risks,if it pays off well fine n good

cheerio, mates; I already posted me picks on the Canadian G.P. thread, but I'll repeat them:
1. Kimi --because he's been robbed too many times before
2. Fernando --because he's so lucky and so fast
3. Michael --because I feel like seeing another podium for the wdc
4. Rubens --because two red cars is better than one
5. Nick Hiedfeld --because BMW Williams is fast
6. Jarno T. --because Toyota are also fast (in a straight line)
7. D.C. --because Red Bull are full of surprises
8. Juan Pablo --because he never does well here

what surprises me about most of the other picks (aside from the totally insanely optimistic Aussies picking Webbo to win!) is the absence, like my own list, of any BAR / Hondas. This makes me wonder if I shouldn't sneak back in at the last minute and put ol Jens on the podium for my picks. I mean if no one is picking them, doesn't that mean no one is paying attention?

and please don't come back at me about no one picking Red Bull, Minardi, Sauber, or Jordan. I mean, be reasonable!

I am so relaxed, of course, because my pick record this year is on a par with Sauber's chances to be bringing only two drivers to each event. That is NADA, nil, zero, nothing!

Cheers, Jim

Fair dinkum cobber,
we were insanely optimistic at Long Tan, Tobruk,in New Guinea Berthsheeda and unfortunately at The Eureka Stockade, where the Californians let us down, by stopping at Seymour and getting drunk, and arriving too late with their cannon
Stone the bloody crows Jim, fair crack of the whip mate, when the going gets tough we wake up and get interested.

Jim if you ranking is outside 250,i would suggest pick both BAR's If it pays off u might me the top scorer for this round n u'll b in top100-150

Jim I've got Button in my picks

But I don't think they'll be fast. The Honda grenade has to last for 2 engines on fast tracks
It will be a brave pick to put either BAR for Indy - unless of course they BARBBQ in Montreal
