Doug, are you excited about the start of the season?

 

I'll go out on a limb and say that Glock will fight for the win next to Kimi...

 

Yes indeed, never too early to start the race thread

And, of course, the 1st and the last races are always the best because I get to go up and visit Marco (matrix, the good Marco!) and have a blast. There will be F1, good quality beer drinking, karting, chatting, visiting old friends, a day off from work; it's the stuff of a perfect weekend.

 

^ :I Agree: It could very well be that the Toyota's are super competitive and finish on the podium. They performed reasonably better last season and it remains to be seen if they can keep up the momentum.

3. Trulli

 

Wow Doug, I think this is a record for putting up a race thread at the beginning of the week rather than in the middle. hahaha!

Anyways, I don't know why everyone are not thinking that kimi can pull off the win. I believe he will have a much better season this year. I will go back to my theory of kimi doing well during odd number of years. 03, 05, 07 he got 2nd, 2nd, 1st in the championship.
