I agree Toyota will be strong, stronger then ferrari for example, maybe stronger then Willimas, but i don't see them stronger then Renault and Mclaren, maybe in a more aerodynamical-circuit...  |

I can just see it now.....
The first our and a half is a group bonding bit where they see how well we interact with strangers, the last half hour is the one on one interview with a manager. Just get to the important bit when i whip out my portable tv and switch ITV on!!! Im sure that'll go down well. "of course im commited to the job..."

com'on!! start is just about 1 minute... it's highly improbable that in that very minute you'll be too busy for not having the oportunity to go to the bathroom and see the start... it's just 1 minute!!!
hope you will be able, at least, to see how 1st pit-stops goes... |

It would demonstrate thet you are a committed, passionate person, and they need to offer a sufficient incentive to harness that!
It would certainly make you stand out from the mob.
And if they don't understand your commitment to F1, do you really want the job

As I said in the 8 'n' Pole thread, Renault will dominate. Fisichella will be close to The Cute but will still be behind him.
Montoya likes this track and will beat Raikkonen fair and square (Graham should be happy)
Then it is a toss up between Toyota, Ferrari, Williams and Red Bull (if the force is with them  )
I hope Webber finishes well and I did pick him (just for you julian )
And I agree, Kev Mac should take the portable to the interview, it shows dedication.
You can always tape the race and watch it when you get home. Just make sure you turn the radio off in the car and good luck!
It will be a good race

This race should suit MW some what...He is good qualifier and if he can get his pig...i mean car, off the line it will be hard to get past him. Mind you there is the small point of the pit stop which i'm sure Williams will screw up again.
I don't think Kimi can get beaten unless Fisi or Ruebens take him out

The last year they were for the 1-2, they were very good here, and th car this year i even better so you conclude they will dominate... But you forget the McLaren did an even bigger improvement (in comparsion to last year). Ranault may win but dominating!! that's for sure!!MacLaren won't let them relax a sec out there. |
