I'm looking forward to the new F1 season. I don't think were done with the "who had the race line" going into the first turn controversy.
I hope this year Williams reliability is somewhat improved and either way I still think that JPM is the better of the two drivers on the Williams team.
JPM did one hell of a job in the 2003 season, and all things being equal at Williams I think that we'll see more podium finishes for him this year.
Shumy....... what can you say? The guy is awesome. I don't personally like the guy but he's a great driver. He wins races and when Shumy has his Ferrari dialed in .... and that's pretty much all of the time, every time

then "great" becomes "untouchable".
The best racing always takes place in the middle of the pack. Watch Fisichella scrap it out with Villeneuve. Watch Coulthard pull off a move on Frentzen.
Jim .... yeah ok fine .... I agree it's all heart pounding excellent wheel to wheel driving and all that good stuff.... but no matter how you slice the cake there's only 3 podium slots. Last year we got to see two red suits and some "other guy" standing up there with "them" as the rule and not the exception.
IMO guys like Fisichella and Villeneuve would fair out much better if they had a red car with a prancing horse under em.... otherwise they do what they can with what they have.... again the podium is only for the first, the second and the third place finishes.
I haven't looked at the F1 website yet so I'll ask this in here what's the deal with Jaguar? ... and will Toyota be a pretender or a contender?
