The aim of the week is to meet the riders and drivers and other team members and to do it is a relaxed atmosphere. A lot of the journalists will be skiing as well. I am just going to be hammering away at the computer. Skiing is all very well but I have no desire to break a leg or a head as if I do that earning a living will be a great deal harder… I arrived this afternoon and was happily sitting in the media centre typing away when Giancarlo Fisichella came wandering in. A little while later there was Fernando Alonso all decked out in Ferrari gear.

The event is a great one which also allows the F1 journalists to meet their counterparts in the MotoGP world, a rare opportunity to hear some different views. Tomorrow is a bike day so there is a conference with Nicky Hayden and Casey Stoner…
When are the first pics of Alonso in red hitting the press?

Could you possibly add an option that simply says that he will 'prosper'? The current three are a bit extreme.

I did, but it resets all votes. So you have to go back and vote again.

God I hope Nicky can get that Duck going this year. It sucks to see him struggle while Casey rides off into the sunset. I really wish him well this season.

As do I. Nicky is a good character and quite fast too. I think the Duke is a bit of a razor-edge on the setup. All but one of the Dukes (Caseys) don't go like stink.

His speed may return when the new, larger, engine size returns in 2012.

I like the fact that he has that Kentucky drawl, and that he is a very laid back guy. I wish he'd get rid of that 'California' style that he and Kimi seem to have been sporting lately. I bet his mechanics all stand around saying "WTF did he say? :? " all the time! :lol: I bet his Italian accent is utterly horrible. Casey made him look very bad last year after coming back from injury, so I hope it didn't hurt his reputation too badly. His championship can't get him rides forever.

Same could be said about Raikkonen.

Yes but all of Formula 1 knows that Kimi was robbed of great wins and good finishes by various failures, so they know he has it in him. Nicky won a championship and in the last few years has done zilch, especially last year against Casey. Now you have two Texans as well and if Nicky can't do it at Ducati, one of the two Texans might get the nod. The only person with a worse record after winning a championship is JV and that guy is a sack of --- with a beard and stupid glasses.
