I am eagerly anticipating how the new Williams aero package will go - I'm hoping it will put them up somewhere with the McLarens and Renaults.

I think McLaren and Renault will again be the cream ....... after that is anyone's guess.

I expect a mish-mash of Ferraris, Williams, Toyota and BAR.

Nice one Martyn. Everyone knows that the circuit should be hastily adapted to the tyres. I blame the FIA.

They are building the banked corner now using old tyres, concrete blocks and stale bagettes as an edible SAFER barrier. Max designed it and the FIA Competition Committee are building it. BE was to help, but he has already left! Schumi Lite will test it by riding a bicycle into it backwards.

Thanks Martyn and Glen for putting this in the proper perspective!

The thing is that Williams' problems aren't really aero related, its engine power they are lacking mainly, though im sure a new aero kit isn't going to harm their speed.

I also fear that Ferrari may have caught up with the rest of the pack, should be an interesting race...
Lets see if those new tyre warmers appear in more than one garage this weekend...

Well Ferrari have new tyres this weekend don't they? Interesting to see how they work. Will they work more on the limit, giving a good qualifying lap but more marginal race wear? Or will status quo be resumed? I can't wait to see.

I expect the Michelin teams to be a bit slower as Michelin will probably reinforce the side walls to make sure there's absolutely no possibility of being charged with unsafe designe. (They have Max coming at'em).

All in all, it will be a mix-up, scrap, fight, etc up monumental dimensions between Kimi, Schumi and Fernando. It will make up for the Snore-a-ton of Indianapoiis.

I can see a Ferrari win. Just seems better and Michael knows how to do a race, remember Canada picking up on the peices and could well be on a different fuel stratergy.
