Who will lead after one lap?

Now we have the historic situation of two brothers on the front row of the grid for a Formula One race. So, the question is: Who will be in the lead after one lap?

- Ralf
- TGF
- Someone else, they will take each other out in the first corner.

Don't think they'll take each other off but I do think that they will be a bit over cautious and Hakkinen or Montoya will slip through.

I think it will be TGF in the lead after one lap - but not by much. Ralf can make good starts, but TGF's traction control gives him an advantage.

Fingers crossed they don't take each other out. I've got Ralf down as my prediction to win, and I think he'll either overtake (perhaps at the end of the straight as opposed to a twisty section, seeing as the BMW engine has so much power) near to the beginning of the race, or get by in pitstops.

I'm pretty sure Montoya will be first after one lap...if not after one lap at least after the Senna-S. He truely knows how to start.

I'm with Jean. I'd love to see JP take the lead - with the two Schums taking each other out!

After all, even with wishful thinking JV's waaaaaay too far back!!!

Goooooooo Jacques!

Well it doesn't matter who's leading after the first lap. It only matters who's leading at the end of the last lap, and hopefully(for me) that will be Ralf. but if not, I would be happy to see JPM, or Coulthard win.

I should mention that, I couple of months ago, I had a dream about DC winning the brazilien GP(no I'm not gay!), so I'm not sure if that means anything or not.

Jeanburrasca81 · 1 Apr 2001, 00:21 (Ref:75870)

Lol@Duke! I think it's more probable that DC wins tomorrow than MH. Anyway both is quite improbable.

I think MS will take the first corner and win the race. If Ralf can have a good start, he can then hold off DC and Mika and take 2nd. It seems like Rubens is having trouble so he may be out of the equation, but who knows. I think a crash is unlikely because these 2 know each others driving style better than anyone else and too much is at stake.

How about those Michelin tires (tyres)?
Think Bridgestone is starting to sweat?

Montoya will take Ralf out.

steve nielsen · 1 Apr 2001, 07:08 (Ref:75938)

Jos Verstappen will lead!!, why not, he was 18th on the grid in Malasia, he's now 1 place up

BTW I think Irvine and Burti will do the same as the first row brothers :P

girlinoz · 1 Apr 2001, 07:12 (Ref:75939)

I think they'll fill Michael to the brim, Ralf will be on a two stop strategy, and he'll get the better start.

However it won't pay off and TGF will win.

Cheers
