F1

The first two practices are done at Sepang and Ferrari won the first battle with Schumacher and Raikkonen in the McLaren was fastest in the second. However this will not change my prediction that Ferrari will once again dominate the weekend. My race prediction is:

1. Michael Schumacher
2. Rubens
3. Juan
4. Alonso
5. Ralfie
6. Raikkonen

IRL

Bobby Rahal yesterday made the switch to the IRL. However, he is not bringing sponsorship or a driver with him. He is working on getting Mexico's Gigante to come over with him but so far they have decided to continue as Michel Jourdain Jr's sponsor. What exactly Rahal is doing reamains unclear to me. But one thing is certain, the 1986 Indy winner and 3 time CART champ had to swallow hard to come over to the IRL full time.

Folks it's just a matter of time before TG's money lures them all over and the farce that is OWRS will be over.

Also look for Pat Patrick to put Al Unser Jr. in a car either this weekend or in Japan.

Good luck Robbie at Phoenix!
