Hehehe, Uppili – it’s just good to know that people read The Mole. He is excellent.

As for the Penelopes, the Mole insisted that they were all away on assignments when I phoned…

Gman, Rosberg is a David Coulthard, competent, quick, but not particularly special. McLaren will be pleased they signed Kovalainen, who will most likely win a championship before LH does.

Clive’s attempt at a "mole". Now…where are the penelopes?

If Williams did a have a chance to win either Championship then 2008 would have to be one of the greatest years ever. Rosberg is the finished product and Kazuki is properly quick.

Great piece of imaginative prose, Clive. But in one of the fastest silver cars there´s no Fernando anymore, but in other there are still the same driver…

From what I can see, Williams dose seem to be heading in the right direction going into the coming season, and that could certainly amount to a few podiums by the end of the year. With so much power in the top two teams, it would be fantastic to see Willaims- or BMW, for that matter- break their grip on the wins in 2008. I think Sir Frank’s drivers are well-suited for the task. After all, if Rosberg is lacking on talent, I would like to ask people like Green Flag why McLaren was so keen on getting him down the road?

Green flag, prepare to be surprised. There is nothing wrong with Frank’s eye for a good driver.

You know Green Flag I was thinking the same thing about McLaren this year. I think all the talk about sophomore blues are getting into my head. I like LH and enjoy watching him but I also like the underdog at that team. My only hope is that Ron really does treat them both the same when it comes to equipment!!

There is no crystal ball big enough to permit a vision of a Williams podium, never mind a win, this year. Even if the cars were good enough, the drivers are not. Alonso, possibly Vettel, in a Williams, the odd podium, maybe. Sir Frank needs to hire better talent if wins are on his agenda. As to predictions, the "other" Finn is going to surprise a lot of people, LH in particular, and will likely score the majority of Wokings points.
