Doesn't it seem sad that drivers like Fisichella, Coultard, Barrichello, and Ralf all have secure seats in F1, despite having had race winning cars for many more seasons than Jacques, yet failing to chalk up as many wins as he (let alone a WDC) that it is Jacques who doesn't have a drive in F1??? Sad indeed. |

No votes for Ralf, well of course not. The German crash and the disgusting penalty that followed ended his title hopes. Added to that Montoya's current pace. Sorry people, but your holding onto false hope. If Michael follows JPM home in the next 3 races (and I still think thats unlikely given previous years results) they will go into the last race equal on points. Suzuka, Michael territory. Juan could'nt even keep up with Ralf there last year. I would rule it out, but I dont think Monty can pull it off. Added to that, when it comes to the wheel-to-wheel stuff Juan cant take the risks he got away with at Nurburgring now, and I'm sure MS wont let him off that easy next time. MS for WDC (just) and Williams for WCC (by a mile). |

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope it's JPM, but I can see Schumacher taking a controversial championship, or the BMW blowing up or something sad like that
At least the WCC seems to be a gimme for Williams. |

What are you saying Glen, you think Michael is looking at 5th and 6th places for the rest of the year?
If anyone thinks JPM is going to walk this home, go ahead a say so. I'm saving the thread so the realists can look back and mock. |

No - not that extreme either Wrex (God - why does severyone have to assume you mean the complete opposite?) - but I do think second would be a very lucky result in three out of the remaining frour races. He nearly managed second on Sunday, but only because Ralf and Kimi were already out... so that would have meant fourth at best. On the other hand Montoya can't expect four wins either, because he's got Ralf, Kimi and Michael to contend with and one lap qualifying leaves a lot of potential for cock-ups. So - I'm not suggesting JPM will walk it (I've never said that - in fact, check my first post in this thread) but I am saying that Michael will need luck to go with the talent to get on the podium at all in the next three races.

Agreed, Michael can't expect to come second, but neither can anyone expect JPM to win 3 races in a row either.
My original point was, Monty still has to catch MS, before he can beat him. Yes, the Williams has been the goods in the last few races, but as ut turned around for them, it can turn around for Ferrari. You can bet Ferrari and Bridgestone are working OT at the moment, not just for the championship, but for their respective home races coming up. Add to this Hungry not being a JPM favorite, and Michael having a mortgage over Suzuka, and Michaels abilty and luck to pull out the stops when the presure is on, a JPM WDC is hardly in the bag. As I said, people can think what they want, and post it here. I have no doubt there will be excuses and chuckles when this thread is brought back up (no matter which comes out on top). |

One more time Wrex: I don't think it's in the bag! And, I don't think JPM will roll through to a string of easy wins. But. I don't see how Bridgestone will bouce back in the middle of a testing ban either, and even when they could test they had no answer.
I think JPM will be ahead before Indy, and then it gets more psychological because Montoya will have it all to lose. It's going to be great. |

This article from the beeb is mildly amusing. It predicts what is going to happen in each of the next four races.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/3122163.stm Ends up with Montoya and Michael level on points, but Mihael getting it by having an extra win (by the end of the season). Last edited by Adam43; 5 Aug 2003 at 13:20. |

My money goes on Montoya. He has got the talent but most important at last he has a car that he can display his raw speed and talent with. I think Ferrari will have a hard enough time beating Mclaren and renault, and Ferrari needed this 3 week test ban like a hole in the head.
