Free Training Day - Sepang International Circuit.

Again sunday race is getting nearer. The first two free training sessions were held on Friday. Weather was hot. Indias Narain Karthikeyan drove in both the sessions. I dont expect any thing better from him again. He may move one or two places more. But he's certainly not in the position to get into top eight to gather atleast a point. It may be recalled that, he finished 15th in Melbourne, the first race of this season. Consolation point was he finished top among the rookies. I am sure many more Indians will follow Formula 1 because of Narains ride with Jordan.

Will Schumacher clinch the rach here like last year?. It will be answered on Sunday. But both the Ferrari drivers went out of the track during test. Jenson Button of England looks set for the challenge. Button reaching the podium on Sunday will not be a surprise to me. Buttons BAR-Honda Teammate, harsh riding Sato, I expect again to go out of the field.

Mentioning Reanult should be worthwhile here. In Melbourne they got the first and third place. It was a wonderful start for them. They would like to keep up the momentum and put Ferrari under pressure. Otherwise, the season may become boring in the middle of the year itself like last year.
