    The rain will equalize the cars, then the drivers stand out. The rain drivers are Kimi, Lewis, Fred, Robert, DC, Vettel, Heikki, and possilby Nick. Massa did pull off that incredible pass in the rain I think the last race of 2007, but without TC, he will drive too cautiously.

    I think its a toss-up between those first 8 I mentioned, unpredictable. Even Sato could show up in the top 5 if he is careful. I just hope no one does anything stupid on the first lap and we are left with a small field and a boring race.

    Due to the rain and no TC, my only "high odds" prediction is that this will be a very entertaining race.


    Kimi
    Hammi
    Kovi
    Heidi

    Bourdais was very good in the rain in Champcars. Anyone who had to deal with Paul Tracy and was able to overcome that idiot, is on my good drivers list. 2 time ChampCar Champion who's a very quick and smart racer. He just needs more aclimation in the F1 cars. I picked him 7th this weekend and I think he will be the surprise of the season in the SRT Ferrari IMO.

    I would like to see three new teams, at least new drivers on the podium, different from last week. Ferrari and McLaren on the podium gets boring. Last week was refreshing.

    How about;
    HK
    RK
    SB

    Anyone can predict KR,FA,LH (No offence Will. You are most likely correct.)

    Minor correction - he's a 4 time ChampCar Champion - he has quite an impressive, varied racing background - all he needs is the right car!

    he did have a little oop's in the rain last June -> Bourdais' next assault on Le Mans would come at the wheel of a factory-backed Peugeot 908 in 2007. The car he shared with Stephane Sarrazin and Pedro Lamy finished the race second behind the winning Audi R10 TDi, despite an embarrassing slide on the first lap in wet conditions that cost Bourdais a place to one of the Audis, and car problems forcing him to park the car for the last minutes of the race, waiting for the lead R10 to cross the line.

    Won't take him long. . . a little perhaps not well known fact about him -> He won the Spa 24 Hours in 2002 with Christophe Bouchut, David Terrien and Vincent Vosse in a Larbre Compétition Chrysler Viper GTS-R. He also won his class at the 2006 12 Hours of Sebring in a Panoz Esperante. In 2005 he also competed in the International Race of Champions, winning his first stock car race at Texas Motor Speedway.

    F1 is not totally new to him -> In 2002, he got his first F1 test with the Arrows team and was signed on to drive for the team but the team were on the verge of bankruptcy. In December he tested for Renault at Jerez but fellow Frenchman Franck Montagny secured the test drive instead of him - rumours suggested that Bourdais did not wish to sign a management deal with Renault boss Flavio Briatore in addition to a Renault contract.

    Time will tell.

    Carol, I think the guy is extremely talented in Race Pace, and see him securing quite a bit of points for STR this season. He doesn't have that incredible qualifying pace of Vettel, but he does a solid job and hope he stays in F1 for a while. Plus the guy is not arrogant and seems to put his head down and get the job done. He would have been a good fit for Williams in the Renault years in my opinion.

    Tony, you're right on the spot. I think dedication is also an attribute, as I recall, he did forego F1 for his commitment to Newman-Haas for this past year?

    Thanks,
    Carol

    Thanks for the explanation. Paul Tracy and idiot? Who would have guessed? ;} I think the majority of fans that wanted to see an IRL/Champ Car merger really just wanted to see Danica beat the crap out of Tracy. And I do not mean on the track.

    Now, that is something I would pay good money to see!!

    There is no question that Tracy is extremely fast, but he has difficulties running the duration of a race without making a bone head move. He will attempt passes that make the criticism of Massa (not my opinion) look like a choir boy. The guy has thrown away races as well as championships because he just has a mental shortage of common sense. And what he did to Bourdais during one of Bourdais championship years to almost cost him the championship was just about the last straw for Tracy's remaining 13 fans. Bourdais over came this illadvised pass that destroyed both cars and went on to win the championship anyway. Tracy has been a complete flop in Nascar as well. Tracy maybe faster than Danica, but she will out fox the dumb a$$, as hard as that may be to believe. Thanks for the correction Carol, you are correct.
    Paul Tracy=Idiot
