Now that Michelin-gate has been sorted (for the moment, anyway) and the battle returns to the tarmac, where it belongs, I wondered what you folks expect to happen the rest of the season:

Will this be the turning point for Michael's campaign, or will the Michelin teams continue to enjoy their recent advantage?

My thoughts are that things should largely continue where they left off, meaning the Michelin teams - Williams in particular - marching on with their current momentum and ultimately, the acquisition of both world titles.

IMO, this whole tire-width affair has been little more than an attempt by Ferrari to unsettle their rivals at a key juncture of the championship. I find it very hard to accept that a few paltry MMs of rubber could make such a difference to allow Alonso's Renault to lap MS in a healthy Ferrari. Sorry, but I just don't buy it.

Anyway, what do you lot figure?
