Can't see anyone bothering to dethrone King Michael

takuma's been pretty low key the whole winter.

Dude really needs to pull his socks up this year, no more fooling around. He needs to take things seriously. Here is a guy with immense talent and speed but totally lacks consistency. If he is as unreliable as last year than I am sure he will be replaced in 2006

well im rooting for Kimi still.
Hey any opinions on Giancarlo? -
kimi and juan... who's the no.1 driver? or both co-leads?
if McLaren gets a good engine from Mercedes Benz, this could be one heck of a team.. -

I've just learnt that Valencia is a terrible place for evaluating aerodynamics - Sauber found that out the hard way when their cars were 3.0s slower than the F2004Ms at Barcelona. -

Mosley, meanwhile, is understood to have already anointed a long-term successor and begun lobbying on his behalf – a certain Jean Todt…
Read the full story of the Mosley/teams saga, with exclusive quotes from Paul Stoddart, in the season preview edition of F1 Racing magazine, on sale next week. -
