We have not seen a perfect wet race for a long while now. I certainly know who the Rain God is (before anyone takes a shot at me, I would like to add "at the moment"), but I wonder if Kimi and Alonso are as good in wets as on dry track. Also, Renault and Mclaren have probably never raced their cars in wet conditions. Will their cars hold good? It would be intresting to see how Button holds up to..as Rubens does very well in Rain. |

We hardly ever see wet races now, which is a shame. Schumacher is showing considerably less car control in the dry, so I wouldn't expect him to be the class of the field in the wet any more. It really is hard to say because Spa last year wasn't really a wet race, more damp, and before that, the last wet race was in 2003. Alonso and Raikkonen have improved so much since then that you'd have to say it would be one of them. |

Good question - really hard to say at the minute. I would say Shumi would still be up there. I don't remember JPM excelling in the wet which is surprising given his car-control. Rubens has always been decent in the wet but really shines in wet/dry conditions.He always seems to be able to judge just how hard to attack in these situations. Though maybe that should be past tense given his current form... Of course the tyre war futher clouds the picture. We don't even know if Bridgestone still have a big advantage in full wet conditions. If they do watch one of the best wet weather drivers I have ever seen - Taku. In fact Taku and a heavy shower of rain would appear to be the best chance Honda have of a win this season! roflmao |

Yes,Rubens retired a perfectly healthy car from the lead of his home Grand Prix because the team had forgotten put enough fuel in. Can't imagine Schumi's reponse if it had happened to him, at say the Nurburgring...............

And get a new job? I'm not sure if a line-up of MS and DC would quite fit with the dynamic young image Mr Red Bull would like to project though.

I personally believe he was thinking of all the DIY he could get done round the Castle on a Sunday afternoon instead of having to battle with a bloke who hasn't won a GP over a sixth place finish. Again. Still, a good result in Imola will get him going! |

No, Webber crashed on the last corner, then Alonso ignored a yellow flag and crashed into the debris. It's amazing how Alonso's totally changed in the last 3 years. Button, Schumacher, Montoya and several others crashed at turn 3. |
