I'll lay money that Montoya doesn't finish the race.

Mingster is close but here is what I think will happen.

1 - Michael Schumacher
2 - Rubens Barrichello
3 - Ralf Schumacher

I agree with Schatten, JPM will not finish, neither will DC, Toyotas are mid pack (10th - 15th positions).

I've just placed my on-line bets:

MS to win
Heidfeld to get a points finish
Eddie Irvine to be the first guy interviewed after the start of the race (joke bet but at 8/1 worth a flutter)
MS to be in the lead at the end of the first lap.

I think the other podium places are going to be too close to call, if the Mclarens and Willams last the race then any of them could be well up there with Rubens. The Saubers look to be having real problems again today, Massa had a hell of a time in Warm Up but when he did finally get a flying lap he was right on the pace.

I really hope the Toyotas make it to the flag and ideally in the top 10. Its nice to see such an unassuming team do so well straight out of the blocks.

Honda is really sucking ass in F1

I thought Honda announced that they are only supplying engine to one team this year so why is BAR and Jordan still using them?

And I just checked the qualifying on formula1.com and it seems that toyota is not trashing hondas, in fact, 3 hondas came out ahead. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Oops looks like I was wrong with regards to toyota vs honda. Formula1.com wasn't updating their website yesterday.
