There should be 20 rounds, with extra round run in Adelaide.
Melbourne should be a ripper, perfect weather, and the cars sorted a lot more than when it is first on the calender.
Long range tips for the first race.
Schuey
Kimi
Mark
JPM
Barrichello
Alonso
Trulli
Button
(subject to many, many, changes

)

I agree, the 3rd race should be better! (2 races in Australia, the pommies would go crazy, imagine what James Allen would say

)

But Julian, what is the Bambino Driver doing at the top of your long range tips. I didn't think you rated him highly or do you still think you are in 2004

Besides, you seem to give a lot of credit to those who spin behind safety cars

drive their engines too hard

and ram into others at the start

No wonder you were battling for 400th in 8 'n' Pole

Payback for placing The Cute in 6th

A man must speak his mind, reveal his innermost thoughts, be open and true to himself, so he can be true to others. No matter the cost. If by allowing you to hurt me, I have enriched your life, then the world is a better place for my having been here. Sigh.

Very philosophical Julian,

Still doesn't explain how you pick a driver who spins behind the safety car to win

Are you Schueyphobic or something ??

At least they thought to put the USGP on the Fourth of July weekend. Now, as long as there are no tire fiascoes, hopefully it will be a good race.

The peaked Julian, they are going downhill. It will take them a few years to recover. No need to worry

Schuey - 5th,because of the heat
Kimi - DNF,always a slow starter
Mark - 2nd or 3rd,cosworth power
JPM - 1st or 3rd,loss of weight
Barrichello - 4th,coming out of the shell
Alonso - 1st or 3rd,momentum should be there
Trulli - 8th or 12th,just like that
Button - 6th or DNF,Rubinho would blow him away!!!

Massa - 7th or 8th,he'll manage the red car
Ralf - 6th or 7th,just like that

I would really love to see Barrichello do well next year but I think like Montoya in his 1st year at McLaren, Barrichello will struggle a bit at the start. But I sure am waiting to see him outside the Ferrari camp where he doesn't need to be a helper any more

But why Kapel do you have JPM and Alonso as either 1st or 3rd
