McLarens Appear to be quick for todays Practice.
Pedro de la Rosa and Kimi appeared to be very quick today during practice for the Australian GP. Pedro being fastest today and Kimi taking second fastest, Juan placed 5th. Pedro's time was 1 second quicker than last years Pole Position time.
From F1-Live.com, http://f1.racing-live.com/en/index.h...04052229.shtml.
"Pedro de la Rosa undertook the majority of the running today for McLaren Mercedes and set a fastest time of 1:25.376s and completed 46 laps. Race drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya finished in second and fifth positions overall after setting fastest times of 1:25.676 and 1:26.227 respectively during today's two Free Practice sessions. Raikkonen completed 15 laps in total whilst Montoya did 18.

from what i've read, it seems to me that Schumi may be playing oppossum again. Even if Ferrari isn't on top in qualifying, I think tire wear will become a big issue. With the experience Schumi has, I'm betting on ferrari.
If Ferrari does end up on top (or close) in qualifying, I think everyone needs to worry about another runnaway.

Let's hope Ferrari makes some mistakes this year, we don't need them crushing everyone like they have been.
I would really like to see Shuey worse off car just for ten laps or so, now that would be interesting. Or even a someone like Button in Ferrari, even more interesting! Only reason Barrichello is still there is because he is such a good "yes" man. I couldn't do it race after race, intentionally slowing up for the sake of the Team or rather Shuey.
A driver can only do so much with a poor car.

I agree that the faster team should win. I hate team orders....I'm a ferrari fan but I understand Rubins disgust with some of the results last year. I want to see some DTM races this year...know if any are televised?
