ESPECIALLY when Pruett was his teammate. Im sur[rised Chip Ganassi didnt fire him on the spot, he was much faster than Pruett and could have easily passed him in a lap or two without costing Pruett 3 more positions like he did. Anyways, thats gonna be short lived. I have a feeling that he is doomed for failure on the oval tracks.

I dont know about Senna, he lacks a lot of experience to the other drivers as he never did karting (most people will have done as much as 1000 races in a kart before they step up to cars!), could cost him in th elong run.
As for Piquet, hes damn fast and now a Renault test driver. Fisichella's replacment for next year maybe?
|
Poor Fisichela... but actually that is not far from the truth, Piquet is a very promising driver

Even more so than Dowsing Anemone with Brass Tongue, I think Montoya is the most overrated thing this side of the solar system... he only won in the Indy.. he didn't manage to prove anything in F1, and I know he will ultimately fail in tha atrocity of sport that is NASCAR... I dislike Montoya almost as much as I criticize DT...

He's a great driver indeed and I cheered for him the past year, but I wanna see a new guy there with the trophy! The "enemy" in this case is purely abstract... |
Maybe a Brazilian one?

now that my true "enemy" Montoya is out for good, at last, and now that The Master will be at home watching over TV, I want Raikkonen to finally win it and make us all laugh with his sense of humour and make our hearts soften with his charisma..  ...no, really, I want Raikkonen to win. Alonso, I don't care for him. I hope his winning streak ends.

You could say that. When I decided to expand beyond NASCAR I watched F1 and Sports Cars, and that's where I saw JJ and thought, s**t that guy is amazing. One of the best drivers there have been, IMO. |
I remember watching JJ in F3 in '88 .... saw him upside down at the Bombhole at Snetterton after an over-ambitious move  .... but I remember telling people he would be world champion within 5 years and really believed he was that good .... he seemed all set for a top F1 drive the next year, then suddenly he was out of favour .... great shame

I'd keep an eye on Massa this year as well, he's been going extremely well in testing this winter, he's had the legs on Raikkonen at least and Ferrari seems to have a slight car advantage going into the first race.
As for Lehto, its a tragady that he doesnt have a full time contract in sports cars at the moment, he's one Flying Finn.

And I do think Ferrari has a good chance for the title again.
