What others are saying:

Ralf deserves 2 b 2nd cos he's soooooooo much sexier than Rubens and DC is just 2 ugly!!!!
(I also admire Ralf 4 his skill behind the wheel) - Claire - England

If Michael Schumacher is a team player he should help Reubens, his team mate grab the second spot - George Z - Lebanon

Williams will be a tough contender in the last 4 races, particularly Ralf. I think MS will help his team mate as he did last year in a race (don't remember which one - Spanish GP - Ed.) when he let RB pass by one side and in the other held his brother. But this can only happen if RB is fast enough to stay in pace with Ralf and McLaren drivers keep their bad performance.
I hope 2nd. place battle will be very exciting - Conrad R - Paraguay

Well for starters I don't think Rubens is fast enough to hold 2nd or 3rd place in the race and Michael wouldn't slow down to help him. If he is there he will if he is back. I think Ralf is the one to watch. Formula one hasn't ever had 2 brothers finish 1-2 in a championship but they have had team-mates 1-2 so I think Ralf would be the one. Wouldn't, you help your bro than a stranger you have met along the way? - Chris - Australia

I reckon Ralf will finish in 2nd position but to be honest it doesn't excite me anymore
I think last season was definitely a better one
Next year hopefully it will turn up to be better

Arrows on Ford  "smiling face!!??" - Rob - Australia

I have no doubts that Rubens can gain 2nd in the Driver's title. Ferrari would love the kind of publicity a feat like this would generate.
Obviously a man of Michael Schumacher's skill and experience can help, he has nothing to prove and he knows Barrichello is not a threat in any way to his future.

Coulthard can't get 2nd for many reasons:
1) McLaren's drivers have been together far too long. Some would argue that stability is good but it didn't seem to hurt Williams during their glory days in the 90's. The simple fact was that they had the best car and it didn't matter whether they had Mansell or Prost or Hill or Villeneuve, they still won.
2) The controversy over Adrian Newey (enough said)
3) The ongoing Hakkinen saga - will he retire or stay?

Meanwhile Williams are on the up but at the moment they do not have a reliable car as yet. I certainly don't question their raw speed but like Murray Walker says, "To finish first, first you have to finish".

My predictions would be in this order:
2nd - Barrichello
3rd - Ralf Schumacher
4th - Coulthard

In terms of the teams I think it will finish like this:
2nd - McLaren (only because they have two reliable point scorers)
3rd - Williams (mainly because Montoya hasn't finished many races yet) - Adam B - Australia

When there are no team orders, and given a consistent machine like a Ferrari, and a very tactical pit crew, Reubens has every opportunity to be No.2 with Schumi to help him. However the remaining tracks being FAST ones, and given BMW engine-Michelin tyres package particularly love such tracks, Ralf will put up a great fight - Prem - India

Now this is an interesting one! As far as the drivers are concerned I think that Ralph should be able to clinch 2nd place as the remainder of the circuits are all fast tracks that suits the Williams and as said above he should win most of them. DC cannot match his pace and they are both about equally (un)reliable. The interesting one is going to be Michael. Who is he going to help? His team mate or his brother because whoever he helps is going to be to the detriment of the other. But then again is Rubens fast enough to put Michael in a position to help him? I don't think so unless Michael blatantly compromises his races to put himself in a position to help Rubens. But you can only help if both of you are up front and Ralph is certainly not going to take that lying down. My bet is on Ralph. Wouldn't it be a coup if two brothers can hold first and second place!!
The constructors title is also a dicey matter with only 13 points separating Williams and McLaren. However I don't think JPM is going to offer enough in the line of support to Ralph to wrestle 2nd place away. I may be wrong on that one though. It all depends on how important McLaren regards 2nd place, which doesn't look like much - Johan M - South Africa

I'll certainly say that McLaren will take 2nd, although Williams are fast in 4 of the last tracks but I believe with the drivers Mika, D.C, handling the track, it shouldn't be a problem - Omeg - Malaysia

I put my money on Ralf. He has the car to achieve this. His Williams has consistently performed well on high speed circuits and well, one can't help but feel that this pattern is set to continue - Yaman - India

Considering that BMW engine is noticeably faster and Williams reasonably reliable I put my bet on Ralf. But it looks like Ferrari will fight with their best, to avoid a Williams resurrection in the podium, they'll see the fight with them next year for the title, And Ralf now know how to win. It is Rubens whose gonna put up a fight, maybe the best chance for him to be the No.2 - GOP - India
