Which of these teams is most likely to win in Melbourne?

Saw this pole on Formula1.com however they left off BAR Honda... What are they trying to say here?

As much as I'd love to see BAR Honda win at Melbourne, I'm going with Ferrari, regardless of Renault and McLaren's pace. It's forecasted to be a wet weekend, with rain letting up at some point on Sunday. If it's a wet race, forget it - Ferrari win, easy.

Don't let Red Ohio Rocket see you say that...



I think this season is going to be a lot different than last although I still believe Ferrari and Michael will do a lot of winning. With the big changes in rules regarding tires and engines not only are pit stops going to be weird, but also who survives the entire second race will be fascinating. Dependability of the car, the ability of the driver to be easy on the tires and the difference between Bridgestone and Michelin are going to be the key factors in my mind.

My guess is Kimi.

Podium Trifecta: Kimi, Rubens, Jenson

(JPM, after watching too many NASCAR Reruns on Speed, attempts to "bump draft" MS and puts them both out)

Although I don't agree with your Podium Trifecta, the comment about Montoya had me

Relax Helmsley
BAR Honda's 1st Victory.. Sepang in 17 days
Melbourne
1st Giancarlo Fisicheilla Renault
2nd JB BAR
3rd KR McLaren

Bridgestone tires are not good in the wet, so the Ferrari guys better pray for a dry setting

My pick for 05 WDC Yep Giancarlo Fisi.. arguably BEST driver on earth.. Now he has a GREAT car

Dont let the preseason testing confuse you
3 teams.. R, BAR, MCL... will shoot it out for titles..Yes I know Ferrari will be strong.. but the tires will decide the championship, and Ferrari has NO help with development of rubber

That'd be cool if it happens - BAR Honda getting their first win in my home country (though I imagine people back home would prefer Sauber Petronas to win).

As much as I like to see, BAR HONDA win, but at the moment it might be only dream ..
Reability is not good enough (tranny & motor), and some aero problems they have also..
Wery sad, but that's life..

Keep in progress, BAR HONDA!!
