It is a format that will separate the consistent drivers from the lucky ones. I thought Kimi did a great job of recovering when he went off and I think JPM was correct when he said that same thing will most likely happen to all of them some time during the season.

If it weren't for that and if he had the same or less fuel as Michael, he would have been faster I believe.

Things have been looking great for Rubens all weekend. Then Michael used Rubens' settings and did an amazing lap. Great team-work. I'm still rooting for Rubens though!

I am still rooting for Rubens, but man, with Schumacher in the zone right now, he is the man to beat tomorrow. John A.

David Hobbs was saying how Rubens' car was carrying 5 kilos more fuel than MS. That weight difference may account for about .200 seconds difference in lap time.

He is a god on that car (it's the old F2002 car too). Poor Kimmi, lost too much time trying to wrest pole and ended up almost smashing into the wall. Rubens was simply outclassed by his teammate, let's hope he has better luck in the race. Nice effort by Frentzen and Villeneuve too. Surprise 5th for Panis in the Toyota. I can't wait for the race tomorrow.
