SA initially for sure, but what about after the introduction of their new car?

I think the Midlands will be a lot faster than last years Jordans & in the first half of the year points may be possible, but I think that the midfield battle will be a lot harder this year as more teams move towards the frontrunners.

Points possible? By that do you mean via unreliability of others, on in performance terms?
If the former, well, assuming they are reliable, I guess a points finish is just about feasible.... If the latter....I really don't see it. |

Strictly speaking, he didn't make any comment on what he sees as being their performance level in 2006.

That Symond's statement is unfair, I think. That car was pretty crappy and everyone knew it going into '05. As I recall they only came in early to get some experience at all the tracks and get a jump on '06 preparations. They should be judged by this year's car in my estimation. That crack about "they had a great engine last year..." is idiotic, IMHO.

If I recall correctly, Renault ran under the Benneton banner their first year and had what can only be called a "forgettable" season.
A little of "The Pot calling the kettle black" methinks. |

With the car fast than last year and if Tiago could repeat the last year(races without retirement)I think that they could be near the points in some races
