Umm why are ferrari and renault highlighted and not Honda?????

 

Cause Dougie plays FAVORITES.. and he cheers for 36% of grid,
but unfortunately he doesnt cheer Honda
But so far this weekend, WE dont need him!!!

 

Just highlighting my teams that's all...

And who knows, if Honda continues to look good in 2005 I may add them to my list in 2006.

 

^^^^ geez Doug, you'll be up to 45% of the grid....

Ok, who dont you like??

 

Michelin runners will still have the advantage as is evident in pratice

Bridgestone runners will still lose out this weekend

I'm going to try to do some digging as to why Bridgestone cannot elevate their game at the factory. The only thing I've found is that their when a team requests a new compound, it is taking them anywhere from 5-8 weeks to produce this, as opposed to Michelin's 1 week.

 

At the top of that list is Mercedes, so by default McLaren.
Then comes Toyota, Midland and Not-Super Aguri.
Honda, BMW and Williams just float around in the middle.

 

Band wagon jumper!

The whole tire afair will be interesting next year as Bridgestone is the sole tire manufacturer in F1. Thus, the bridgestone shod teams will have a distinct advantage over the michelin teams. This is probably the main reason Toyota and Williams decided to change. It's a good move in the long run.
