Ralf is not racing this weekend because of an accident in practice. As was the case last year.

What’s important is that Michael Schumacher and Alonso are on the same row. I think Alonso is going to kick Schumi’s butt at the start. The Renaults are just too good with their launch controls.

But on the other hand, with the tyre controversy going on, I am not even sure if the race is going to happen. Michelin supplies to all but two teams.

Meanwhile, Trulli on pole is a good sight. Some consolation to the Toyota team, after losing Ralf for the weekend.
