Great site have you tried the live timing for the practice laps great when live TV doesn't show qualifying

So, we've got Nick Heidfeld and Jacques Villeneuve in our corner.

Good luck to the team this season...and I hope the US GP doesn't suck [again].

I too follow the fortunes of Ferrari in Formula 1 -- go Michael. The team really nosedived last year -- down right uncompetitive. It's my guess that Kimi in his McLaren/Mercedes car will top the field this year. Can't believe the Spainard's good luck will continue to hold. Downsizing the engines from a V-10 to V-8 to slow the cars down for safety sake will be a huge adjustment for the top teams. I've heard the reliability factor for Ferrari is in doubt. Qualifying is 6am east coast time -- I will be tuned into Speed Channel.

Happy days are here again! What would we in the U.S. do without Speed Channel?

For the Ferrari team - is Barrichello gone this year and Massa? (former test driver) taking his place?

Still a big fan of Schuey (for his intensity and skill) - too bad he was let down by the car and tires last year.

I support more the team then the drivers. Most of the drivers are very equal in performances but if one has a perfect sustaining team than that driver wins. Schumacher is almost nothing without a proper car, a proper team and so on...
It amaizes me how many people here even though have a bimmer and most of them apparently are bmw fanatics, choose to support other teams in F1. Mclaren, or Ferrari or whatever. A poll on this subject might be interesting.
