Montoya wasn't happy at Williams last year and that has a lot to do with his results. Yet he produced some of the most memorable moments of the season like his performances at Spa and Brazil

You'll see a lot more of that this year

I hope so, we need some entertainment. And he can provide that, more than most

I reckon the drivers who will provide entertainment are all in good cars this year. Juan, Kimi, Rubens, Alonso and Sato. None of them are machine like drivers

Good point, Graham

Ferrari, McLaren, Williams, Renault, BAR, Jordan, Minardi, Sauber, Toyota, Red Bull,

If tyres are evenly matched the order will be:
Ferrari, McLaren, Williams, Renault, BAR, Sauber, Toyota, Red Bull, Jordan, Minardi.

No way!

Minardi will beat jordan

............................at least once!

Is that what Stoddart said

Yup

Al least in the beginning it's more than possible, as Minadi begins with 2004 chassis so they would be a lot better in downforce forces then Jordan...

But, doesn't the car have to conform to the same regs., as Jordan

in principle yes, of course, but Minardi say that there was too little time to make their 05 spec (FIA too late changing rules) and asked for permision to race with thier 04spec... (any exemption requires the unanimous agreement of the other nine teams) at the beginning ferrari didn't agree (the rest signed) but now Minardi looks likely to be allowed to run its 2004 car as...: " according to Autosport magazine, the Maranello team ? presumably mindful of the bad press it has received over its decision to break away from the GPWC and unilaterally sign up to an extension of the Concorde Agreement ? has now softened its position and is unlikely to protest if Minardi enters its old cars"...

Wow, Minardis in the top 10 then

Assuming half the field will be wiped out

Only on that assumption, yes
