Well, its shumis year again!

[mika4eva]

Dun talk to soon... Don't be surprise to see a McLaren 1-2 in KL,,,

azbro, I would agree with mika4eva. This is only the first race of the
season and anything can happen over the next 9 months. What is interesting
to note though is that MS has always won the WDC when he wins the OZ GP.
Let's see whether this would turn out to be so too this season.

Well even Schumacher himself said that we should wait and see what happens
in Malaysia before coming to some conclusion as to how the season will
progress. The Aussie GP was a major problem for the Michelin runners
because their tyres were graining. With the majority of GPs taking place in
hot tracks, it would be better to wait and see what Michelin teams are
capable of before we make an assessment.

From the looks of it, Renault, BAR and Williams appear to have sufficient
reliability to match Ferrari. McLaren does not appear to have it this year
as both the chassis and the engine are in need of major work! I think we
can write off McLaren as Renault have taken their place as the challengers
to Ferrari and Williams.

But there are some 3,000 miles of racing to go, and anything can happen!

Yup, thats what ppl. always say...but ferrari still keeps winning.

And no, I dun support ferrari, since I can't afford anything that has an
original ferrari badge, even thier caps. But other will enjoy thier
winning streak and be faithful fans.

yeahhh!!! Go Ferrari

azbro, you don't necessarily need to own anything with the Ferrari badge
on it to support Ferrari. But of course, if you don't support Ferrari in
the first place, why buy anything significantly Ferrari?
