F1

Prior to the start of the season I made some selections on who I thought would do what this year. My predictions were as follows:

World Champion – Michael Schumacher
Runner up – Juan Montoya
Third – Rubens Barichello

Constructor Champion – Ferrari
Runner up - Williams – BMW
Third – Renault
Fourth – McLaren-Mercedes
Fifth – BAR – Honda
Sixth – Toyota
Seventh – Sauber
Eighth – Jordan
Ninth – Jaguar
Tenth - Minardi

At the midpoint I will make new predictions and see how things go and how they stack up against the preseason picks.

Rain has been the story so far today at the Richmond International Raceway. In the morning practice Buddy Rice was fastest at over 170 mph. More as results become available.
