Just read a comment from Ralf and he reckons if Michael can win then so can he
He reckons Michelin are far more superior
Lets hope he is right for once
I hope Minardi will race. If any team is to worry about them it should be Jordan not Ferrari
There was an interesting chat with Michael about this at yesterday's press conference!

Stoddy is quoted as saying the Ferrari fans will burn their ferrari merchandise if Minardi don't start. A/. because Minardi is an Italian based team,B/. Because its owned by an Australian!

Good to be optimistic but they'll shave at least 5 seconds off so I think we are all in the ball park. (We are all experts all of a sudden
