Recently placed a bet with Arnold about the outcome of the F1 world championship of this year. I have bet that, Kimi Raikonnen wins the drivers championship. Arnold wins if any other driver wins it (The only other driver who has a chance is Alonso). We are playing for a hundred rupees. I placed this bet when Raikonnen had just won the Monaco GP. I thought my chances were gone when Raikonnen failed to finish at Nurburgring and Alonso won that race. The tables were turned the last weekend at Canada when Raikonnen won and Alonso failed to finish. Theoretically (engine and aerodynamics wise) Mc Laren have the fastest car on the grid. It is in the reliability aspect that Renault are one up. Remember San Marino, where Raikonnen had blasted off the start line just to retire after a few laps? I hope Mc Laren work on this (they will surely. Mc Laren is one team who takes losing to heart. Their history shows it.), which will almost guarantee good finishes at almost every race. It is race wins that they need badly though to close the 22 pt gap to Alonso; which is even more difficult because of the second placed driver getting 8 pts instead of the older version of 6 pts. Hope they do it; my 100 bucks are at stake. Check out the new Mc laren policy for this season here.
