yeah Ferrari are definetly the team to beat, and its up to Williams/Mclaren/Renault to challenge Ferrari or themselves. I still think toyota may take a while to become competitive, but being the second highest spending team I would expect some results soon.

I have a feeling it will be McLaren's year. Kimi espcially.

I'm personally looking forward to seeing how Fisichella goes, He's had some bad timing (getting out of Bennetton the year before they came good, Getting out of Jordan the year before they came good).

Hopefully Renault give him a good car coz then i reckon you'll see him up there dicing for points and even 2nds and thirds, especially in Canada where's he's always been very good.

Hondavirgin – I also can’t wait to see Fisichella in action in a decent car.

Ferrari have there eye on him and I’m sure majority of the F1 paddock does to.

Ralf in the Toyota will be interesting, mainly to see if he can make it a competitive car.

yeah, I don't know about Fisi in a Ferrari, a bit TOO much italian passion!

I dunno about Ralf, he doesn't strike me as being the kind of driver who will be that good at developing a car and team. I reckon DC would have been a better choice for them, maybe paired with Ralf, then you've got one quick driver for races and a steady experienced driver for development.

I remember reading an article about Ferrari watchin fisi as the replacement for schumi, couldnt be interesting

**LUD02C** · 08-02-2005 02:10 PM

Seeing Juan Vs Kimi is going to be interesting.
Rubens is going to step up this year i reckon

**zigengt** · 08-02-2005 04:03 PM

Still got a feeling it's Mclaren's year

**Hondavirgin** · 09-02-2005 08:16 AM

It cost around 200 euros for a 4 day pass and in some cases you get abit of food or you can organise accomindation/passes/dinner for around 1,300 euros
Which is cheap if you see what the bastards charge for accomindation normally

kool............im planning to go to the China-round later in the year. It'll be nice to see the race on a proper NEW track.....
