Now I am an admirer of young Mr. Button, but I think that giving him the same chance of winning as jaques is a little optimistic?

Well may be they have the same chances but just because of the car, I mean, the williams has prove to be much better than the bar.

[White Van Man]

Don't forget, JB will benefit from the fact that none of the drivers have driven the circuit before - so for the first time this season, he's on a level playing field.

[Jay]

Any advantages/disadvantages of the track being new to them will be gone by Sunday. Expect some wierd results on Friday, but the rest of the week should be the same as it has been all year.

[Liz]

Jacques has driven on part of that track.

But bet on Ferrari. The commercials are all Ferrari-centered - this is the only car the Americans will all recognize (meaning the ones not going to the race) because they can buy one; and the script says Ferrari will win.

Bet on the Ferrari of your own choice though. You know which one I will bet on.

I think Jenson has a reasonable chance of doing well, because he has shown he is happy running at the front. And have you noticed how even when he qualifies well down the grid (Austria and Monza being good examples) where there's a first or second corner pile-up he always manages to avoid it, and gain a lot from it.

I'd say that it's quite likely there'll be some form of incident, although I expect the drivers to be a little more cautious after last time out.

My money is on the usual suspects though, with Jenson and / or Ralf collecting a couple of points, along with one Jordon or Jaguar
