Pole Prediction:
J.P.Montoya

I feel this is the toughest pole to predict this year, based on what happened this morning in practice and the timing of tommorow's practice sessions! Raikkonen won't be on pole as he will be 10 places down on the grid from wherever he qualifies, but it seems as though Montoya, and any driver for Renault, Ferrari or Toyota is in with a chance.

Is that the Emma in you?

Neil has finished/updated the points!

I totally forgot about the Pole Prediction, 'cause of the time difference. But seeing as Schumacher (Ralf) got pole, I know I didn't lose. If I'm correct, I won points. Neil, only 33 points to go!

Does someone know about the weather forecast for the race?

Well well.. after securing their first 1-2 for over 4 years in Brazil, Mc Laren have an all 10th row starting line-up. It was the weather which has provided us with such a fantastic grid. At first the weather was wet - drivers went out on intermediate tyres, but when M.Schumacher came out to set his fastest lap, the heavens opened upon him! Alonso, Raikkonen and Montoya also became caught up in the soaked circuit, and so set ever-worse times, with Montoya not even bothering to set a time at all..

So, a Honda-Toyota front row. Perfect for the Japanese GP and a great chance for Button to earn his first win for BAR, but Fisishella is also in a great position. He will be looking to move Renault ahead in the constructors championship, which Mc Laren lead by 2 points.

It 'most' be.

High chance of rain - which should make the race very interesting and could really mess around with our predictions!

DrTagnian

... and make sure the average of 16 points per race can be gained by the Champion of 2004!

PastyHusty

.. which would still leave you a point behind me!

DrTagnian

... but the end would be just as fantastic as a year ago!

PastyHusty

Ok - deal! You can finish one point behind me!
