Why JPM ahead of Kimi?
Why barrichello ahead of Webber?
And, what do you see happening to Ralf to not include him?
There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.......

The "They" that I am interested in, is Ferrari and Michael Schumacher. I expect Michael Schumacher to qualify a very light car, running as light as possible, to ensure that he can complete the race on only one stop. I have been told that the Ferrari fuel tank is about 130 liters, and that should be able to hold fuel for 39 laps, by that "calculus" his first stint will be 33 laps, and that will be running "light" (if the 130 liters is correct then that mean about 72 kgs (33 laps times 2,7 liters time 0,8 (conversion from liter to kgs)).
Any team planning on 2 stops will have to decide on equal length stints, or different. If running two stops, with equal then a team sharing the same 130 liter size tank will go:
2 stopper
--
1st stint - 24 laps / 52 kg
2nd stint - 24 laps / 52 kg
3 rd sting - 24 laps / 52 kg
1 stopper
--
1st stint - 33 laps / 72 kg
2nd stint - 39 laps / 84 kg
Then we try something.
MS starting from 7th on the grid, he is 20 kg heavier than RS and JT on the front row. At the start everyone makes it safely through the first lap, and holds on to their qualifying position.
RS and JT are slow, and the "usual" pattern of the Toyotas being a cork in the bottle play out once more, and the field is only stretched a little, and MS is conserving his tires and falling a little behind GF in 6th.
The first pit sequence start on lap 22, and every one in the top 10 except for MS pits by lap 25.
On lap 25 MS is running with only 8 kg fuel, and having been able to steadily increase his pace, he has an open track in front whne he earns the lead when RS pits on lap 25th, he promptly set the fastest lap of the race, and continue to do so the next 9 laps. The rest of the field have ergained the track, but are all running 15 kh heavier than MS, so are losing time every single lap.
MS pits on lap 34, having saved a lap running slowly in the beginning of the race. And eventhough his stop is longer, due to needing more fuel he moves from 7th befoer the pitstops to 4th on the road behind RS, JT and FA. Initially he falls backwards from them, however on lap 48 - 50 they all have to pit again, and he regains the lead.
He continue the rest of the race, and win the Monaco Grand Prix.
My only concern is his tyres,not cos they would melt,but mayb pick up some debris from Alonso & JPM 's accident
An F1 Idiot!!!

Hello AWOL in S.E Asia
1. becuase of Graham , no because he won there before and Montoya will have a good race there
2. This is a tough one, it will be close but Williams starts and pit stops are no good so they'll drop back
3. Ralf has one or two good races in a season and they can't be back to back
I'm back and yes supporting Alonso "The Cute" in the Ferrari!
