What, when TGF is going for his 8th WC??

Unitl Ferrari is gone, ALL of this is academic.

BAR.

A good chassis + A good boss + A powerful engine + dumping Villeneuve = success

at the moment: BAR.

if they get their act together in the course of this season (and I think they will): Williams

I think Williams have a higher margin of progression than BAR - I mean I think there's more to get out of that car for Williams. Not so sure for BAR.

Ok..we've had judged after Imola that BAR annd Williams have been in a close tussle for the "best behind Ferrari", Renault having an outside chance....and come spain..the roles are reserved..

Renault did pretty well, though qualifying behind Sato and Juan, they faired well with cars at the front half.. But more importantly, they outraced both the Williams and BAR, even before Juan retired with a problem. Luck?

no doubt though that these 3 teams have their own weaknesses and strengths, which result in such inconsistent performance relative to each other.

Do people still stick to their views or anyone jumping ship?

Tough call this :

1st Ferrari

(large gap)

= 2nd BAR/Renault/Williams depending on the track

If I could choose a car to be stuck in till seasons end it would be the Williams, then Renault, then BAR.

I think they are more likely to 'pull it together' with the experience they have. But who knows, I love having the different names up there.

SO do I.
I gues that, as BAR and (almost) Renault are doing their best, whereas FW are well far from it, Williams are more likely to improve later this year.

Not that he is a bad driver, but he was taking a lot of money that is now invested in the development of the car.

I think it would be good to see him at Williams.
