Snakes and Ladders
Formula One is like a game of snakes and ladders: sometimes a driver can get a push to reach his goal, while at other times the circumstances conspire to make him slide backwards. The 2005 season has been no exception so far, with several men having moved up or down from their previous positions. After the first three rounds, and before Formula One goes racing in Europe, David Cameron analyses who has moved up and who has dropped down in comparison with the pre-season predictions
Formula One is like a game of snakes and ladders - the object is to get to the end, get to the goal, but along the way there are things that can help push a driver forward to the goal, and there are things that can slide a driver backwards, down and away.
With just twenty racing seats in the series, just getting into Formula One is now a goal in itself, but the ultimate ambition of any racer is to take the title, as any of thousands of interviews will attest - any driver when asked will say that he wants to be the Formula One World Champion, whether his abilities are sufficient to the task or otherwise.
