Agreed John. I think they will be the sleepers of 07.
NYE25... I hope they do but unless Newey can pull a miracle out of his but I think they will struggle to stay at the sharp end of the field.

Red Bull/Jaguar has been 7th since 03, I think they'll get 6th this year, but I don't think they'll win the constructors, they only got a gift podium this year.
I like Kliens new helmet too, I do like the way matte helmets look too.
I think slicks should come back since it will be back to one tyre supplier, and they didn't really work as well as they thought they would for reducing cornering speeds.
This is probably way off, but I think if Hamilton does really poorly we might see Hakkinen come in to take over his place. Dennis' comments about bringing hamilton in weren't as secure as I was hoping, leaving the window open for him getting dropped if he's too slow. Looking at the times though today, I doubt this will be a problem.

I think the whole Hakkenin thing is just the team giving one of their great drivers the chance to try out some new hardware. He has been one of the most successful driver's at McLaren in the past couple decades (Yes I remember Senna) and still races for Mercedes in DTM.

Ferg, that picture of the all black Honda car is exactly what I was wanting to see. Although it's not quite the same (since they were red), I also remember the ad-less Ferrari's with the black memorial nosecone that ran in the race after 9/11 - very classy move, and the cars just look like pure, refined speed without all the logos on them.

ZenHooloovoo.
From watching 06's Suzuka, you are indeed correct about Fuji making a return to the JP GP.
At least the commentators confirmed it, and I'd say they're just as good as ecclestump himself.

Yes, it was confirmed mid season that Fuji was going to be the Japanese GP this year, although Toyota is thinking about giving it to Suzuka for 08 because of the bad PR of "stealing" the GP.
| KAX | 11-29-2006 11:29 PM |
the FIA wants to make them switch off, something theyd also like to do in germany and italy. Doesnt Fuji have the contract until 2010, though?

I don't believe Italy is trading off. I thought San Marino just straight up lost their GP.
For the time being, only Hockenheimring and Nurburgring are scheduled to trade off. There was rumor of Silverstone and Magny Cours trading off, but Silverstone said no.

as for now, they just lost it. But the FIA is trying to make it where the trade-off every couple of years or so. In the future, they want it so that every season is a different schedule; makes it a little more interesting, i guess.

Barcelona, Day Three.
Mika...still quicker than Michael Andretti!
[QUOTE]Ferrari again quickest at Barcelona
Thursday, November 30th 2006, 16:20 GMT
The Ferrari team continued to set the pace at the Barcelona circuit, where the Italian squad finished on top of the times for the third day running.
While Brazilian Felipe Massa had headed the times on the first two days, it was test driver Luca Badoer who went fastest today, showing Ferrari still seem to be ahead of their rivals when coping with the new Bridgestone tyres.
Massa was today replaced by Spaniard Marc Gene, sixth quickest in the second Italian car.
Renault's Heikki Kovalainen raised his pace after two discreet days and finished as second quickest in the R26 after completing 117 laps of the Spanish track. The Finn was the busiest man and finished less than three tenths of a second behind Badoer.
BMW-Sauber again showed strong pace, with Robert Kubica posting the third fastest time.
He was joined by German driver Timo Glock, who finally got his test with BMW after postponing it due to a hand injury earlier this year. The GP2 driver finished as ninth fastest.
Lewis Hamilton continued making progress towards to top of the times, the Briton finishing as fourth quickest in the first of the McLarens.
The main attention, however, was focused on the second Mercedes-powered car, driven today by two-time champion Mika Hakkinen.
The Finn, returning to a Grand Prix car for a serious test for the first time since the 2001 Japanese Grand Prix, managed 77 laps but finished at the bottom of the times, three seconds off Badoer's pace.
There were two red flags during the day, the first caused by Williams' Narain Karthikeyan and the final one by Glock near the end of the session.

That was Spa. Its crap, I saw a FIA GT race yesterday and they moved it way to the right, it was better before.
Imola and Monza won't trade off. They are trading the German GP because neither can afford to hold the GP themselves, both have basically gone bankrupt this year.
I guess this test means its unlikely Hakkinen will take over. I was expecting him to be a bit faster.

It's not like he's been sitting on his ass playing Gran Turismo Ferg :p He was hauling ass in DTM for those five years, and was over two seconds slower than Hamilton, who has minimal F1 experience.
I'm willing to believe that he was doing tire tests and full fuel runs or something like that, but if he doesn't pick it up in the next few tests...I dunno...he may have lost it.

He may have, but to come back and still be relatively on the pace is pretty impressive. It's really hard to tell after only one day in the car.
He's only done two seasons in the DTM (1 win, 1 pole, 6 podiums, 5 fastest laps) and I think a one off for Mitsubishi in a Finnish national rally...anyone remember when that was?

On a somewhat unrelated note, a replica Hakkinen helmet sold on ebay for about 320 shipped a few days ago. I was watching it ideally interested, I was amazed it went for so cheap, the same guy is selling Senna and Barrichelo helmets for 500-600 (or trying to.)

[QUOTE=artkevin;16175772]I love this shot. It somehow shows a lot of detail even though it is all black. The new suspension looks great.

[QUOTE]Massa not afraid of Raikkonen
By Michele Lostia Sunday, December 3rd 2006, 11:31 GMT
Brazilian Felipe Massa says he is not afraid of having Kimi Raikkonen as his teammate at the Ferrari team next season.
Raikkonen is leaving McLaren to replace Michael Schumacher at the Italian squad following the German seven-time champion's retirement.
The Finn is considered to be one of the main favourites for next year's championship following Ferrari's strong end to the 2006 season.
The team continued showing impressive form when they dominated this week's first test of the off-season at the Barcelona circuit, where Massa was quickest on the opening two days.
Raikkonen will not be allowed to test with Ferrari until next year.
"It would have been better for Kimi to be here testing, but he's good enough to learn quickly," Massa told Gazzetta dello Sport. "He's strong, but I feel in a fine situation myself, ready to do the maximum: for sure I'm not afraid of him.
"To know the people you work with is an advantage, but if you come over and manage to feel well and the car has no problems you can immediately have a good season.
"Twelve months ago I had only a one-year contract, everyone was sure my presence would have ended quickly. On the contrary, I'm still here, I have a contract, I've won some races, and I'm more relaxed. And ready for the challenge."
During 2006, Massa scored two wins, including one at his season-ending home race in Brazil, on his way to third place in the standings behind Schumacher.
The Brazilian said he learned a lot from the German driver.
"When you find yourself racing with someone like Michael, and sometimes you manage to stay in front, you can't avoid learning. He represented a very good teacher for me, it'll help me in the future," he added.[/QUOTE]
