Julian didn't say that (I am taking Julian's side

), he said no other finishers. Karthy retires 3 laps from the end but since only 5 finished, Karthy is considered 6th (after an appeal from TATA)

7th is, oh I just remembered I shouldn't go there

8th is

Hang on where is Montoya

Kapel, you are dreaming (not about Narain this time

)

Michael is 24 points behind Alonso. Even if Michael wins and Alonso finishes second you know how many races Michael will need to catch him ? 12

Ferrari won't win many races from now until 2008. In 2008 they'll win all the races

Graham,i dont care how many races Ferrari win this year or till 2007,i'm hoping for a 3-way- championship.Or else its a repeat of domination like last year with just a name change.Rules were changed to make racing interesting not for change in domination of sport.

Ferrari had pace in Bahrain in the initial laps,but their tyres melted.Mayb they wont melt in the cold.
Mclaren needs to qualify higher for any chance of catching Alonso.Kimi is their best bet rgt now(Montoya will take another year to settle in this new company)

I cant think of any1 else who can challenge Renault rgt now.
Toyota

Bridgestone won't have grip at Imola. Did you see the expected temperature ?

You'll have a three way championship for second: Montoya, Fisichella, Raikkonen and Trulli with Button and Michael an outside chance

This is Ferrari's final attempt to crawl back. They will fail and then watch reality sinking.

Julian, if you didn't notice, he didn't mention Webber once and you agree ?

It is only 4 PM for heaven's sake

more more

Montoya wouldnt fit into that group fighting for 2nd,especially after missing 2 races

Sure

now you are making me

Michael failed to score points in 2 races (is that big enough for you) yet you want him to challenge Alonso for 1st

Montoya has more points than Michael

And are you sure he'll miss Imola ?

Please EXPLAIN

Kapel · Post by **Kapel** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 4:33 pm

Well yes, cos Michael n Kimi will get prefrential treatment in their respective teams

I agree with you,that for Ferrari Imola is their last chance.If they fails,i would put Toyota or mayb Williams as the 3rd team.
