“Billy Bob” favours Ferrari

Yes that’s right, Martin “Billy Bob” Brundle has picked Ferrari as his favourite towards taking top honours in 2007…

The ex-Formula 1 driver earned his nickname back in the late 1980’s after competing in what was still a truly International Race ‘O Champions…

Unfortunately the IROC series has long since become a “RASSCAR” celebrity race and is no longer worthy of this moniker. Hell just look at who’s the title sponsor, can you say Crown Royal? This is why I prefer the “REAL” international ROC… (Race of Champions) OOPS! Just heard that the IROC is on hiatus due to lack of sponsorship this year…

Brundle who is now an ITV Formula 1 commentator hasn’t gone too far out on a limb by “just” only choosing Ferrari and Kimi Raikkonen as his early season favourites for F1’s crown jewels in 2007…

Brundle site’s Ferrari’s interlocking relationship with Formula 1’s sole tire supplier Bridgestone as a key factor while reigning champion Renault and McLaren will have to play catch-up after loosing their Michelin rubber…

Meanwhile the Prancing Horse’s newest man in red, Kimi Raikkonen made his first public appearance at the Scuderia’s annual holiday trek to the Alps for a little skiing. And you know what? Raikkonen looks good in red...
