Ive not based my desicion on just this years performance, I liked him a lot last year and thought him underrated and unfairly compared to his team mate.
I'm not basing my prediction on the timings today, just think Nick is vastly underrated and Petrov very overrated due to one showing 2 weeks back.

i was hoping for no rain... but perhaps fp changed my mind...

These teams orders; are team orders allowed unreservedly now or has it reverted to pre 2003 rules where there has to be a justifiable reason for the order? If it's reverted to the pre 2003 rules then Ferrari might find it hard to justify a team order at this stage of the season as the team could be brought up on bringing the sport in disrepute charges!

I'll be glad to be proven wrong, he's a very likable chap and he was a massive help in Abu Dhabi last year, helped prevent me from crying blood.Hammer278 wrote:Yeah they did in morning practice.
