good luck, the maths is a tad tricky, but im sure youll be fine
The V10 thing i doubt very much would happen.
All this years cars (Toro Rosso excluded) are designed around the V8 engine. To fit a V10 the whole back end of the car would need to be redesigned.
Anyone got any predictions for race 1 in Bahrain?
My prediction is a Honda on the podium with Williams close by. Not sure on the winner yet.
i reckon honda gets second. BUT, i have a feeling that they wont get on the podium at all.
I was told today that im well within the top 1% of under19s in education for engineering design/engineering mathmatics so i should be ok. i also will get the 20grand tuition fees payed for by the uni if i keep up my 100% grades for the rest of the year.
Anthony davidson has shattered the lap record at Valencia today drive the new spec honda. He lapped 0.9 seconds faster than Kimi did on his fastest lap yesterday.
Lets hope its no fluke and the Honda really does have raw race pace so Jenson and Rubens can challenge for wins. The Honda reliability has been good all winter so things are looking up!

not true actually. both ferrari and mclaren have had V10 engined versions of the 2006 car bashing around the track since the end of last season, so no designing involved at all, they already have them.
My predictions for race 1.
Webber wins
Barry Chello second
Button third
what bit of hot gossip is this based on.....
It was in the dream i had last night.... but the murry walker was driving for ferrari aswell...
I hope Super Aguri gets within 7 seconds off pole.
if they start the race with 2 laps of fuel maybe
Well, theres only 1 week to the F1 season-opener in Bahrain & it should be a corker. Elsewhere Sebastien Loeb tasted his 1st WRC win of the year in Mexico & HALLELUYAH, Petter Solberg is back!! Although a lot of the drivers werent happy because of animals straying into the roads.

Theres questions to be asked. Can Alonso retain his crown? Is 2006 the last we see of Michael Scumacher in F1 and in a grand prix car? Can Jenson Button win his 1st grand prix? How good will rookies Nico Rosberg, Scott Speed & Yuji Ide be? All that this weekend on ITV1.
My money is on Michael getting an 8th world championship.
