BMW with a 1-2 finish, does't get any better then that.

I think Ferrari will think about putting their new car a little sooner after that race. :D :D

Yep I'll give Ralf/Williams/Michelin credit they had the best setup for the race/race conditions.

I wouldn't smile though...You do realize the sooner Ferrari unveils the F2002, the sooner Ferrari retains their winnings ways. Seeing how it's clearly faster (1 sec average a lap faster), and has shown it can do race distances.

Long long season. I'm enjoying the battle between Montoya and Schumi.

We'll see just how reliable and revolutionary Ferrari's new setup will be. I wouldn't expect BMW to just sit on their ass either in the development of their chassis and engine.

No doubt that the Ferrari will be fast, but the BMW is a lightyear ahead of where it was last season. Williams team manager mentioned that reliability was the main issue they wanted to sort out, and that's exactly what they've done.

Personally, I just want to see some good racing. I hate it when one team is so far ahead that the whole damn season is a foregone conclusion. Much like last year, you might say.

Yeh I agree I wanna see some good racing this year, and a tight championship. Ferrari will be pushing harder now to debue the F2002 sooner. If I didn't mention it the lap record set at Imola was done by Luca Badoer, so Schumi has yet to get behind the wheel ot the circuit. I have high hopes for it. The aerodynamics have still not been fully reveled so there's probably even more performance to squeaze out of the Ferrari yet. (Nose, front wing are modified nose cone from last year). I look forward between the battle of Ralf, Motoya and Schumi.
