SECTOR 1
1 10 Juan Pablo Montoya 26.107
2 5 Fernando Alonso 26.121
3 9 Kimi Räikkönen 26.161
SECTOR 2
1 9 Kimi Räikkönen 27.543
2 3 Jenson Button 27.639
3 10 Juan Pablo Montoya 27.792
SECTOR 3
1 10 Juan Pablo Montoya 27.155
2 9 Kimi Räikkönen 27.174
In any case there are two scenarios, one is that Kimi would overtake Alonso by his second stop and come behind JPM, if thats the case than I am sure team orders would come into picture and Montoya would be asked to back off (gifting Kimi the win), second being that Alonso just about manages to hold Kimi off after Kimi's second stop. If that happens JPM will cruise to victory. Barring retirements the max that Kimi can take away from Alonso is 4 points.

well aseem coming to the sector timings the difference u see btwn kimi and JPM is the difference in the aerodynamic setup they both had..well as far as my knowledge goes JPMs top speed was more than that of kimi so obviously he had a hold on the sector 1 and sector 3 which is by far the faster part of the circuit..JPMs car was setup for speed along the straights while kimis car had been setup to run more downforce for turns 4,5,6,7(slow compared to the rest of the track).so u see kimi bettered sector 2 timings..so both cars were setup differently depending on the drivers style(kimi chose higher downforce for sector 2 as his style is smooth and not raggid like JPM)..so comparing sector times to decide who is better is not fair..i remember minardi last year had the best straight line speed in one of the tracks are were obviously fastest car in that sector,so does it make minardi better than others.over a complete lap who is quicker is what matters and keep in mind kimi had a more heavily fuelled car..so got to give it to kimi..
secondly,knowing JPMs reputation at williams im sure he wont follow team orders may what come..he might just slow down the pace of the race so that kimi catches up,but once that job is done its everyman for himself..JPM and kimi wll then have to fight it over the track and there wont be a move over by JPM im sure..
