I can still remember those epic Hakkinen - Schumacher duels , but everything have changed now,,,,i know that there are so many ferrari fans, but is just simply to boring to watch them winning all GP´s and saying OHHH!! schumi do it again,,,hope we could enjoy an exciting and more competitive year.

Thanks to the weather (OK, so I'm lame, I watched it), it looks very much as though Race #1 is going to start with some famous names at the back of the grid. Complete disaster for Schumacher Bros. as the rain came down just before they went out. This new system turned into a lottery,and Fisichella and Trulli lucked in.
Räikkönen did just about enough, but the gaps between cars in the first round of qualifying are so enormous it's not likely there'll be much change tomorrow.
Unless it pours down again at a suitable moment.
Whether this will make for good racing is another matter. Certainly the quicker cars will have to do some serious overtaking to get anywhere, but the big problem with F1 for years has been the lack of real wheel-to-wheel racing at the sharp end. All this latest thing has done (albeit with the help of some bizarre weather conditions) is increase the overtaking at the BACK end of the field.
