ah...all races are actually time dependant. its actually what comes first, 305km or 2 hours.

whoops , learn something every day!

that, and the number of laps is determined by how many it takes to complete 305km.

so if your track is 2km, it would take 153 laps. cause obviously you cant just stop in the middle of a track and say, yup i did 305km first! lol

Heh yea, i knew that much! I was just fishy on the time clause

i dont know about that. I know sato is fast, but way to erratic. I dont think he has what it takes to push the development of the car, even if he was a test driver for a year or two.

as for Renault, their driver line up is Alonso + Fisi? Again i dont know. Although Alonso has put in some superb drives, pretty consistant, but not consistant enough.

I think Mclaren is due back, considering they aregoing to have Kimi, and fatty JPM. both fast drivers, and one(Kimi) is very consistant, if he has the car. lets just hope that Mercedes can actually produce an engine that doesnt quit!

My underdog pic for next year. Honda/Takata (i think he drives for honda, no?)

next year if the maclaren is up to speed, i have no doubt that kimi will take the championship, as for sato i dont really see any championship material in him, no doubt he is good but he is just like montoya in a way, both of them dont race with too much balls and no brain. button and alonso are other main contenders, well i guess we will have to see which teams step it up next season.

When Schumacher moved over to Ferarri the team was winless for years. Michael went through several seasons of constant car failures. To watch someone help build a winless team to a champion over time he deserves credit for being part on a winning team. To raise the bar so high others are unable to match is a testament to the members of the team.

^^^^ Im glad some people actuall realize that Ferrari has not been winning for the past decade, as the media would make it seem. Ferrari went through a 17 year drought before they started winning again in 2000.
