kimi is 9  

I have a strong feeling that Red Bull will get Christian Klien and Tonio Liuzzi for their driver lineup.

btw, I just realized that it would be interesting to see Nick Heidfeld in a BMW-Williams and Kimi Raikkonen in a McLaren-Mercedes.  

i wish mika hakkinen goes for williams bmw... it would be fun to see a schumi-mika battle again, it just makes the sport better to watch.

we get kimi-schuey battles at present...    let's hope McLaren comes out with a good car this year so that we'll see more of this.

or perhaps we'll see a 3-way battle between schuey, kimi, and jpm...  

I wish someone would sign up Heikki Kovalainen...that's a future world champ!  for either rallye or f1  

Bump bump. Para ma-update lang.  

Lets see:

Jordan was bought by a Russian/Canadian company called Midland Group.  Drivers will be Indian Narain Karthikeyan & Portuguese Tiago Monteiro. They will be powered by Toyota.

Jaguar was bought by Austrian energy drink maker Red Bull.  Drivers will be Coulthard and Klien (?).

Minardi will have rookies Austrian Patrick Friesacher and Dane Christijan Albers.

Toyota will have Ralph Schumacher and Jarno Trulli.

IMO, I think Eddie Jordan made the wrong decision of having two rookies in his team this season.

Look at the bright side, at least they gave way to fresh new talents!

When you are a team like Jordan, you won't get a queue of talented veterans asking for a drive.  Besides, rookie drivers are cheap.  

Remember Eddie was the guy who signed up a rookie named Schumacher back in '91.  Who knows he might get lucky again.

So ano palagay nyo sa driver lineup combinations ng mga teams for 2005? With 2 races concluded.

great combination for renault with their 2 drivers capable of winning races and the wdc..

mclaren.. well, fireworks yet to be seen between the jpm and kimi.. not much rivalry yet.. sayang lang yung puncture ni kimi.. he was on a roll and set fastest lap until that blowout..

ferrari.. no comment..  

red bull.. great combo.. veteran and semi-rookie outpacing each other and giving valuable points for the team.

toyota.. trulli is definitely the better driver than ralf.. as always..  

williams.. good choice of committed drivers..

sauber.. villeneuve should get his act together..

BAR.. too early to tell coz of the engine blowout.. and sato's no-show.. though button was really fired up at the start..

Jordan.. good consistency from narain and tiago.. hope they earn points in the coming races..

minardi.. la pa ako masabi eh..
