Zontas friday pace always amazes me; he is a good driver and i hope to see him have a seat for 06. TheMclarens up thereas theyalways are in Friday quali. Dc and BArri have had problems explaning their pathetic positions. Narian behind his partner again. Idoubt NK can stay in F1 with this kind of form.

As for the race i think McLaren should win with asurprise from Ferrari. With the constructors championship still undecided Renault will have to work hard at the only track where they know they cant win (unless a lot of drivers haveproblems with their cars). Also expect something special from the Toyotas on Sunday.

@VKD_1717

The test drivers are often quicker then the main drivers, because the they usually test with out any rev limiter ! A lot of times even De La Rosa was quicker then kimi.

Coming to NK. I think he did alright. The reason he was behind TM was because TM was driving the EJ15B. NK was 1 sec faster than TM in Ej15B when he set a time of 1.22.XX last week

I agree, the third driver is normally the pace setter on friday but to consistantly be on top in a Toyota is amazing

Dude Varun, what do you think happened to Kimi after qualifying sessions? Isn't it sheer bad luck. Badluck to the core

Kimi wil start in 11th because of his engine change. Making it more difficult for McLarens constructors championship hopes. JPM starts in pole thanks to the engine changeand should have a comfortable win. Alonso very quick butim sure he is low on fuel. Fisi showing what the real Renault pace would be like. Ferrari BAR and Toyota all look set for points and maybe even a podium. RedBull might slip in 1 or 2 points with DC starting in 10th. In williams, Pizzonia replaced Hiedfield who had a headache.

I am still expecting an amazing race from Kimi. May be race of his life!! He is clearly the best driver at the moment.

i thought Sato did a pretty good job..But wouldnt it be cool if Sato takes out Alonso at the first corner. Then it would be good to watch Kimi come up the field and win the race, with alonso retired, kimi will be so much closer to the WDC target.

i am keeping my eye on Sato. I have a feeling he is gonna do something !

Sandeep, i think Kimi was lucky that his engine went before quali; Monza really pushes the engine so if he managed to finish quali with that old engine it would definately give in during the race

kallu, I cant see anyone taking a renault at the start; infact i expect Alonso to get the lead on lap 1 ... im expecting Kimi to win too because all he needs to do is pass the BARs (if they survive the race) and JPM will move over ... dont expect a podium from Alonso because Renaults are useless at Monza; 5th would be a realistic target for Alonso.

a good race by Pizzonia. Three months since he sat in a F1 car but still finishes 7th. Kimi missed a podium chance with the damaged tyre..

and Narain must be furious after albers hit him from behind, What was albers thinking? there was no one behind him.

And Don't forget stupid spin just before few laps ... I m really furious with Kimi's perfromance ... He is responsible for his lost chances for Championship.

And lo, where is Narain??? his seat as a driver for next year seems to get more and more in doubt- maybe he would get a test driver seat next year! Sure sign of this was the fact that Monteiro was given the new car- and with Jordan becoming Midland next year, the russian driver woudl get the nod- plus Carlin is no more there to support Narain!!!

Thats the way of life, i suppose!!!
