Re: Williams- Paying too heavy a price for being paid?
Now, I know it's just been one race and it's too early to decide who's really fast and who's not but I don't think that Maldanado's charge on Alonso yesterday in Australia for a top five finish was a flash in the pan as far as Williams' pace is concerned. If Williams have made a step, which I think...

Re: Wow! What a Midfield!
I never make predictions (... not quite true, I made a few in Dolomite's "Psychic Thread", but they were just average) but from what we saw yesterday, we can draw few conclusions, that have to be confirmed next week. Toro Rosso has the drivers and the car. If they manage to be better in qualies, th...

Re: Massa has found a new Crash-Mate!
No doubt that at 1 time, Massa was a good driver but now it doesn't seem so! His collision with Senna not only seemed on purpose but also cowardly!

Sauber looks good but they have a problem. Man who designed the car is no longer with Sauber, so development might be tricky for them. I think it will be between TR and Force India.
