Takuma Sato is gonna WIN his 1st F1 win this year!

anyone disagree?

I think he's got a chance. But I guess we'll see after the first race what level the teams are at.

[Skii]

Ah yes - F1, I remember that

F1 - is that the one with them driving round on a track in formation for x laps with schumacher out front?

i dont think BAR are up to it this year.

Looking at the testing results they're consistently a good 1.5-3 seconds off the pace
Whether they're sandbagging (as was said about McLarens testing performances last year and look what happened to them) or havent quite got a hold on the car yet is anyones guess.
Although in testing Sato has seemed to have the edge on Button most days.

Theres no doubting Sato has the speed, but he cant seem to keep it going over the full distance. If the races were 30 minutes long he'd be world champion.

BAR reckon 900bhp for the race engine to last two races. That's what they ran at the end of last season but with far greater durability.
AFAIK they've not run a full 2005 car. Over the winter they've been running a development prototype.

Sato to win?

I sure hope so!
