Allow me a little thought before I get to the race itself.

The regulations changed, there is a new circuit in Turkey, the Imola race carries on, in spite of its announced last time in 2004. The new rules might add up a little thrill, however this is what you hear every year, but it is the teams with the most reliable cars, perfect logistics and a little luck that win. There are some changes in the teams, some of them quite substantial, there is some fresh blood, full of ambition and experience with the need for victory.Personally, I expect J.Button to go for it, together with his B.A.R. Honda. A lot may be expected also from the young Indian K.R.N. Karthikeyan, whose endeavour and persistence to win seems to be a part of his DNA. I assume there are going to be neck and neck battles of young Minardi's pilots, supported by Paul Stodart, lots of fights at McLaren, where JPM, fast and daring, won't make space for anybody. Whereas Kimi R. is likely to show some mental improvements, as he had to swallow some hardships of uncompetitive last year's car. M.Webber and N.Heidfeld of Williams gained some experience, too. Charismatic Flavio Briatore is going to try hard to win as many points as possible for Renault. Just like J.Villeneuve and Felipe Massa in Sauber are going to fight for it, but let us wait what their cars have to show. The reformed Red Bull racing, headed by Mr. Horner with D.Coulthard and Ch.Klien as pilots could get a couple of points time to time. Last but not least, the best team of recent years - Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro. Apart from more responsibility for the team manager Jean Todt, being in charge of the entire Ferrari SpA, there are no major changes. However, judging from my own experience, this is not going to open the door to failure a crack, because this is not anything Ferrari does. There may be some partial problems. Nevertheless, the perfection of management, extreme coordination, loyalty and experience should take this team to victory again.There are no major expectations concerning the upcoming race. The pilots seem to be enjoying themselves in pre-race meetings and sports on the beach. Some of the teams are going to use new cars. Let us see who is going to be successful and who is not.Probably in May, we are starting new Climber of the Year in F1 poll and I am curious who will win the award this year.
