I doubt that Montoya will let Raikkonen by if by the end of the race he was leading and Raikkonen second.

What happened in Hungary was because Raikkonen was on a very light fuel load

Graham,i do believe Montoya is far better than Kimi on this track.
My only concern with speculation of Kimi going to Ferrari in 2007,Mclaren would want him to give Kimi a shot at this year championship by ways of a PLAN(team orders) which will surely upset Juan

Graham, I think Kim is going to be on a light fuel load here too. With the speed of the Mclaren, if KIMI gets the jump, Alonso will hurt his tyres trying to stay with him, then Kimi wil be able to refuel and dictate the pace

Wondering if Fisi would come handy to Alonso this time around too

Why ? If Kimi defects to Ferrari and McLaren know that then they wouldn't be helping him or would they ? I am a bit confused!

I reckon the top 4 will be on a very similar strategy and none will be light. Unless of course someone blows an engine and gets penalised 10 places.
I don't think the McLaren is going to be much faster than the Renault here. This is a similar track to Canada and the 2 were close. The Mercedes engine will be a worry too

Ok,Mclaren would do all possible things for Kimi to win the championship this year with or without team orders,so that kimi stay with Mclaren in 2007,cos its still specualtion.

The same thing that led me to the fact that a McLaren has not won at Monza since 1997

Sweet F.A. has himself stated, as reported by F1 racing that the best he can hope for is the bottom step of the podium at Monza. He then went on to say that if they go wheel to wheel (With Kimi) Kimi cannot afford to crash. Shades of Schumaker?????
