Two questions regarding the Jap GP:
Don't you believe in Kubica?
What'll happen to Schumi?

JayVee never picks Schumi. She will be the one to benefit in 8 'n' pole when he retires.

And what do you call such a person; anti-Schumite?

Stop it, I like it too much

O.K. Mates: here's me Nipponese nods:

have to pick Fernando (because when I do I jinx him)
Michael (because he's Michael and doesn't know how NOT to podium)
Felipe Massa (because he damn well better score points this week!)
4th will be Kimi (assuming something else doesn't fall off the car --which is a BIG assumption)
5th will be Pedro (I think you're all misjudging him...but [keep it to yourselves!] I've been wrong before.
6th will be Rubens (because I love his grin...and the final race in Brazil is always a Disaster for him)
7th will be our Jense (because it's fun to stick it to Toyota)
8th will be the Webbo (just because he deserves another point)

The POLE? what a question. Michael, of course.

See ya at the races, Jim

I think Kubica is good but he makes a few mistakes due to inexperience I suppose but Suzuka is a difficult circuit to master so it will take him a while. More importantly I doubt the BMW will be fast there.

As for Michael, as cmlean said, I don't pick Michael Never had never will
He'll have an engine failure

Jay Vee:

Massa will beat Kimi on the track, assuming the Merc hasn't fallen right out of the stylish shell Ron Dennis built (and excepting the fact that wings and mirrors and other parts are always falling off), when Jensen Button is the WDC

& you're so corrrect about the car Fisi is driving. It IS a Renault and it is good. That said, if there are Ferraris and McLarens still running, Fisi will find a way to be behind them.

I just hope the race is as good and clean as last week's.

Cheers, Jim Watt

Funny you say that Jim, the same way Fisichella somehow finds a way to get behind the Ferraris and McLarens, Kimi somehow finds a way to park his car a few laps into each race

Cheers, Jim Watt

Apart from Monaco it has been clean all year

But say in Brazil and Michael has to finish ahead of Alonso, Alonso is pushing right behind Michael and finds a way past, you think Michael won't close the door ? It will be Michael's last chance. History says he will.
And there is nothing to suggest that if it was the other way around that Alonso would.

But don't worry, it won't be that close
