I don't really see McLaren winning this race, it'll probably be Montoya or Micheal coming out on top come Sunday. The Illmor/Mercedes engine has looked simply second rate this season so far. It's weak and unreliable, and McLaren won't be able to cover it up with a superior chasis.

I think that McLaren is getting a bit tired of DC's performance. He's been driving top notch cars for every year he's been in F1 from '94 to '02 with the exception of '97, and he's never been really close to winning the championship. Great driver's can win races in lousy cars like Senna with Lotus or Schumacher with Ferrari in '96. DC has problems winning races in great cars. My bold prediction for DC is that he will never win a driver's championship in F1. But I hope I'm wrong.

BTW Mika give McLaren there first win since '93 at the last race of the '97 season when DC let him through to first place (under team orders).
