How can TG and JT have the same weight/fuel load?? Will they stack their first pit stops?

Probably just bring one of them in a lap earlier.

Well, of course! But traditionally teams have put slightly differing amounts of fuel in each car - that's when you get the moaning of the 'number 2' drivers about being disadvantaged. So, teams could actually give each driver the same amount and it somehow works out. Maybe one of the drivers uses a bit less fuel due to his driving style?

Or maybe they created a double-decker pitbox?

Now don't you confuse this with the diffuser or I will diffuse you with my confuser!

I believe Trulli did 2 flying laps on the first run, hence, the same weight...

[Gaz]

Mclarens very heavy, Jenson heavier than Jarno

Jenson only has one extra lap. If Jarno can jump him off the line, then he could well stay ahead after the pit stops and take the victory. I would be willing to put half a bet on Jarno taking Toyota's first victory today. Glock could potentially make it a 1-2.

one extra lap can mean everything!

It most certainly can. Raikkonen at Malaysia last year, for example. Didn't he leapfrog Massa with only one lap to cut the time deficit?

It will certainly be interesting. I don't think that there will be first corner drama like there was in Melbourne, so he won't be pulling out a four second lead over Trulli on the first lap. The Toyota is fast, reliable and has two competent drivers taking them around. So it's very possible, although the money has to go on Jenson initially.

Rain is less of a reason to not bet than stewards...

I would personally love to see a 1-2 from Toyota, fabulous team, Mclaren I would like to see get in the points, hopefully Heikki can be aggressive enough, going to be an exciting race- shame Im going to miss it live!
