It is also a worry in many ways for
Red Bull because while they have been progressing, they seem to have a Toro Rosso champing at their heels. That must be a bit of a concern for them, although it will certainly give
David Coulthard and
Mark Webber a bit of a wake-up call.
What is evident is that
Force India has been pushed back and is clearly now at the back of the grid and behind
STR. FI
F1 don’t seem to be making any headway either. Whether they are focusing more on ‘09 and just trying to make the best of what is available - like
Honda - we will just have to wait and see.
So, to sum up, I am going to have to go for Lewis and back him for the pole. But at the moment in the race I think it will be a
Ferrari 1-2, headed by Raikkonen. Then I’ll go for Lewis in third, followed by Kovalainen and the Red Bull’s of Coulthard and Webber.
Whatever happens if Ferrari turns up and are eight tenths of a second quicker, then lots of people down the pit lane are going to have some big headaches. One second a lap in
Formula 1 is an eternity and it is not easy to claw it back.
Enjoy the grand prix...
