Kimi, the Prince, showed why he is still the best around once inside a car, unfortunately it seems he still needs to improve his skills off the car, especially in understanding the limits of a machine that cannot match his speed. The Barrichello of McLaren, 'Fat B*****d' Montoya was taken out again by 'never an ally' Villeneuve, that means Schumi goes to Shanghai with a two point lead over the 'Made to look better by the car' Montoya. Frankly unless another driver takes him out, he will surely overtake the King to take 3rd place in the driver's standings but then McLaren deserve nothing less this year, brilliant show, if not for the poor showing by Mercedes, McLaren would have dominated this year just like Ferrari did for so long.
The King did a 4-day testing progamme during the 2-week break, welcome news but not to much effect as shown by the results. More of this is needed, but as he himself has said it - "Our new challenge will be to not let the down last very long. We want to fight for the championship again next year.", Team Ferrari & Bridgestone will be back to please the Tifosi. As for the Prince taking over from the King in 2007, I pray to God that happens because right now there is no better choice to fly the Ferrari flag at the top.
As for next season's driver line-ups, Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, BAR, Toyota, Red Bull have settled thiers, so the only seats available are at 1 at BMW to partner Hiedlfeld, 1 at Williams to partner Webber, so its looks like curtains for Narain's F1 adventure unless he is willing to put up another year in a 'making up the numbers' car. So Narain, looks like we wont be seeing you next year. There is news that there might be a new team next year which should increase his hopes a wee bit. Maybe he should do A1, which by the way is very confusing and nowhere as intersting as F1. I dont think people will take to it, its only positive is that with F1 season closing soon, racing fans might peek into a little but they definitely need to put up a better show and need more big names. Furthermore, if you think F1 Qualifying is complicated, A1 is way too complicated!! Maybe I need to read up a little more and maybe it a little too early to write them off.
