My Hot tips for the Championships:

After 2 races Mclaren are still looking pretty HOT. Although it is very unlikely that either David Coulthard or Mika Hakkinen will win a lot of grands prix the team look consistently quick and may well be in the running for the constructor's championship.

The Williams unreliability has been sorted out now and so is unlikely to recurr during the season. They are now looking more likely to pick up another Team Championship title. H-H Frentzen on the other hand has had a dismal showing. Judging on recent form Frank Williams should have signed Giancarlo Fissichella, Jarno Trulli, Johnny Herbert or Ruebens Barrichello. Frentzen seems to be better with out the pressure of expectation.
